The Atlantic slave trade involved the forced migration of millions of Africans to the New World, often with the complicity of African leaders and societies. Europeans collaborated with African leaders and merchants to capture and transport millions of Africans to slave plantations in the Americas. Various African societies benefited economically and politically from this trade, which involved the exchange of human lives for European goods such as firearms, textiles, and alcohol. In recent years, some African nations and individuals offered formal apologies or expressions of regret for their ancestors' roles in facilitating the trade.
