About 4.9 million of those African slaves were brought in to Brazil. Portugal, one of the most powerful European countries, played a major role in the Atlantic slave trade, especially the Afro-Brazilian slave trade movement.

During this era, Brazil and Angola were discovered and colonized by Portugal along with other continents, allowing them to expand. In order to do this, labor was required to mine diamonds and gold, grow crops, build cities and many other labor enforced activities. Slavery was the most economic and socially accepted way to build a labor force, part of slavery was slaves being sold to Europeans to do labor for them.

As a result, Europeans entered into agreements with Africans. The Europeans would trade guns and other good in exchange for African slaves from other tribes. For coastal tribe Africans that were trying to protect their own people, owning guns would give them a big advantage and more power over other tribes. As a result, these tribes were able to grow and overpower other tribes and improve their quality of life. The enslaved Africans who were captured in battles and kidnapped were then put on a ship and sent to Brazil.

Europeans used slaves for many things which allowed them to grow and become more powerful. The more slaves you owned the more higher up on the social hierarchy and the more wealthy you were seen as. The slave trade was a legal and socially accepted way of living. Slavery was never completely abolished, slavery still continues today around the world. People are forced into agricultural labor and domestic work, human trafficking, and forced, early marriage. women are forced into prostitution and children forced to work in sweatshops. Slavery now is not the same as it used to be but it still exists. Places in the world see slavery as unacceptable but other places do not.
