The Atlantic slave trade, transatlantic slave trade, or Euro-American slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of various enslaved African people, mainly to the Americas. The slave trade regularly used the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries. The majority of those who were enslaved and transported in the transatlantic slave trade were people from Central and West Africa that had been sold by other West Africans to Western European slave traders, while others had been captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids; Europeans gathered and imprisoned the enslaved at forts on the African coast and then brought them to the Americas. Except for the Portuguese, European slave traders generally did not participate in the raids because life expectancy for Europeans in sub-Saharan Africa was less than one year during the period of the slave trade. The South Atlantic and Caribbean economies were particularly dependent on labour for the production of sugarcane and other commodities. This was viewed as crucial by those Western European states which, in the late 17th and 18th centuries, were vying with one another to create overseas empires.

Immigrants that first arrived in the United States may have felt hopeful - Here was there chance to start anew in another land! Free to exercise their own rights!
However, newly arrived immigrants may also have felt anxious. They didn't know the lay of the land, they weren't aware of all of the laws, and they also had to deal with the natives accusing them of stealing work simply because the immigrants would work for a lower pay.
They stayed in one place for food, farming, and homes. They evolved into systematic agriculture.
