But one institution stands out for both its global scale and its lasting legacy. The Atlantic slave trade, occuring from the late 15th to the mid 19th century and spanning three continents, forcibly brought more than 10 million Africans to the Americas. The impact would leave affected not only these slaves and their descendants, but the economies and histories of large parts of the world. There had been centuries of contact between Europe and Africa via the Mediterranean.  But the Atlantic slave trade began in the late 1400s with Portuguese colonies in West Africa, and Spanish settlement of the Americas shortly after.  The corps grown in the new colonies, sugar cane, tabacco, and cottton, were labor intensive, and threre were not enough settlers or indentured servants to cultivate all the new land. American Natives were enslaved, but manyn died from new diseases, while others effectively resisted. And so to meet the massive demand for labor, the Europeans looked to Africa. African slavery had existed for centuries in various forms. Some slaves were indentured servants, with a limited term and the chance to buy one's freedom. Others were more like European serfs. In some societies, slave could be part of a master's family, own land, and even rise to positins of power. But whene white capitains came effering manufactured goods, weapons, and rum for slaves, African kings and mechants had little reason to hesitate. They viewed the people they sold not as fellow Africans but criminals, debtors, or prisoners of war from rival tribes. By selling them, kings enriched their own realms, and strenghtened them against neighboring enemies. 
African kingdoms prospered from the slave trade, bu meeting European's massive demand created intense competition. Slavery replaced other criminal sentences,  and capturing slaves become a motivation for war, rather than its result. To defend  themselves from slave raids, neighboring kingdoms needed Europeans firearms, witch they also bought with slaves. The slave trade had become an arms race, altering societies and economies across the continent. As for the slaves themselves, they faced unimaginable brutality. After being marched to slave forts on the coast, shaved to prevent lice, and branded, they were loaded onto ships bound for the Americas. About 20% of them would never see the land again. 
Most capitains of the day were thigt packers, cramming as many men as possible below deck. While the lack of situation caused many to die so disease, and others were thrown overboard for being sick, or as discipline, the capitain's ensured their profits by cutting off slave's ears as proof of purchase. Some captives took matters into their own hands. Mnay inland Africans had necer seen whites before, and tought them to be cannibals, constantly taking people away and returning for more. Afraid of being eaten, or just to avoid further suffering, they commited suicide or straved themselves, bealieving that in death their souls would return home. 
Those who survived were completlry dehumanized, treated as mere cargo.
