SBXVII, I think you're confusing the British with the Portuguese and Dutch on transporting slaves to the New World.

No, Maybe, read the Wiki site. Africa started their own slaver. Then the Arabs got involved. Then several other countries. Yes the first wave was Portuguese and Dutch then the second wave was Britian and several other countries.

Hmmm, I stand corrected.

Here's the paragraph:

The First Atlantic system was the trade of enslaved Africans to, primarily, South American colonies of the Portuguese and Spanish empires; it accounted for only slightly more than 3% of all Atlantic slave trade. It started (on a significant scale) in about 1502[16] and lasted until 1580, when Portugal was temporarily united with Spain. While the Portuguese traded enslaved people themselves, the Spanish empire relied on the asiento system, awarding merchants (mostly from other countries) the license to trade enslaved people to their colonies. During the first Atlantic system most of these traders were Portuguese, giving them a near-monopoly during the era, although some Dutch, English, Spanish and French traders also participated in the slave trade.[17] After the union, Portugal was weakened, with its colonial empire being attacked by the Dutch and British.
The Second Atlantic system was the trade of enslaved Africans by mostly British, Portuguese-Brazilian, French and Dutch traders. The main destinations of this phase were the Caribbean colonies, Brazil, and North America, as a number of European countries built up economically slave-dependent colonies in the New World. Amongst the proponents of this system were Francis Drake and John Hawkins.
