Which is the most accurate sequence of the complete slave trade process?

Correct answer: Purchase in Africa Atlantic transport sale in Americas production on plantations

The Atlantic slave trade operated as a connected sequence. First, enslaved Africans were bought or captured and assembled in Africa. Next, they were forced across the Atlantic in ships, in the voyage often called the Middle Passage. They were then sold in the Americas, where many were compelled to work on plantations producing crops for colonial and international markets. Each stage supported the next stage of the system.

Option A gives this complete and logical order: purchase in Africa, Atlantic transport, sale in the Americas, and plantation production. The other options mix events from the French Revolution or unrelated institutions and places, so they do not describe the slave trade. Remembering the sequence also shows that the system involved transport, commercial exchange, and forced production together.
