During the period of primitive accumulation of capital, the colonialists plundered Africa mainly through the bloody slave trade. In the process of conquering America, a large number of Indians were slaughtered. In order to make up for the shortage of the developing American labor force, the colonists launched a brutal slave trade in Africa and transported a large number of blacks from Africa to the United States for huge profits. During the 400 years from the15th century to the19th century, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain, France and many other European countries were involved in this inhuman slave trade. Slavers first brought some industrial products or handicrafts from Europe and exchanged slaves with local chiefs in Africa. The source of slaves was mainly from Senegal to the west coast of Angola, and then they transported slaves to America and sold them to plantations or mines. Then they bought gold, silver and various local products and brought them back to Europe for sale, forming the infamous "triangle trade" in history. Slave traders' methods of robbing slaves were very brutal and cruel, and countless slaves were killed by various reasons such as bondage, hunger, disease and killing. In the 400-year evil slave trade, it is estimated that the number of slaves transported from Africa to America is about 65.438+0.2 million to 30 million, and the population lost by the slave trade in the whole African continent is at least 65.438+0 billion. This figure is equivalent to the total population of Africa in 1800, which has caused the destruction of production in most parts of Africa, leaving Lushe as a market and desolate.

Ships set out from Europe, transported guns to the west coast of Africa, and traded slaves with local chiefs. Then the slaves were transported westward to North America for sale. Finally, the gold and silver were shipped back to Europe.

Europe-west coast of Africa-east coast of North America form a triangle.
