Detailed explanation-1: -On the first day of January, 1808, a new Federal law made it illegal to import captive people from Africa into the United States. This date marks the end-the permanent, legal closure-of the trans-Atlantic slave trade into our country.
Detailed explanation-2: -Triangular slave trade, also known as the transatlantic slave trade took place between the 16th century and early 19th century. European Colonial powers bought or captured Africans as the slave, which were then traded to the Caribbean and American territory to Grow cash crops for the colonial powers.
