[PAR] [TLE] Atlantic slave trade [SEP] The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of enslaved African people, mainly from Africa to the Americas, and then their sale there.  The slave trade used mainly the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries.  The vast majority of those who were enslaved and transported in the transatlantic slave trade were Africans from central and western Africa, who had been sold by other West Africans to Western European slave traders (with a small number being captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids), who brought them to the Americas.  The South Atlantic and Caribbean economies especially were dependent on the supply of secure labour for the production of commodity crops, making goods and clothing to sell in Europe.  This was crucial to those western European countries which, in the late 17th and 18th centuries, were vying with each other to create overseas empires. [PAR] [TLE] Fort Metal Cross [SEP] Fort Metal Cross, originally Fort Dixcove, is a military structure in Dixcove, Ghana.  It was built commencing in 1683 by the English Royal African Company as a trading post for the gold and the slave trade, though construction didn't finish until 1698 due to ongoing hostilities with the local people.  Brandenburg-Prussia started building Fort Groß Friedrichsburg about 15 km west of Dixcove in 1683, (now Princes Town) in the colony of Brandenburger Gold Coast but it was not completed until the 1690s.
