USA: Participation in Slavery (1643-1807)

Citizens of The United States of America participated in the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade during the years of 1663. 1645. 1698.   1700 -1805 AD.  “Registered slaving ships” departed from the shores of the USA destined for The Gambia and Senegal in West Africa.
Hundreds of voyages commenced from The USA during the Slave Trade, and many ships sailed to the sub-regions of Senegambia in West Africa, purposely with the intent to procure, and enslave “Gambian and Senegalese” African men, women and children.  Ship Captains and crews transported Africans from their Motherland to the Americas and The Caribbean.
