    During the era of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the USA obtained more slaves by forcibly capturing and transporting Africans from their homeland. This involved raids on African villages and the kidnapping of individuals, who were then sold into slavery. The slaves were transported across the Atlantic Ocean under horrific conditions, known as the Middle Passage, and were subsequently sold to American slave owners. This practice was a brutal and dehumanizing aspect of American history, contributing to the growth of slavery in the country.
