Cultures survive
Despite attempts to supress or even eradicate African culture, slaves and their descendants carried skills and traditions to their destination countries.
African literary traditions - particularly oral storytelling featuring the tortoise, hare, and spider - spread throughout the Caribbean, Latin America, the United States and Europe.
By the late 18th Century, a growing abolitionist movement, fuelled by slave uprisings in the West Indies, resulted in most European countries making tentative moves towards halting the trade.
Slave narratives, particularly that of freed slave Olaudah Equiano offering an African perspective, contributed to the growing anti-slavery movement.
Britain banned the slave trade in 1807 but a fierce debate in the United States, which stoked civil war between the abolitionist northern states and the pro-slavery south, delayed a unified resolution.
Slavery was eventually abolished in the US in 1865 by the 13th Amendment to the constitution.
But it was not until 1888 - when slavery was banned in Brazil - that the trade was outlawed across the American continent.
