Slave trade history reveals that 30% of the slaves shipped to the Americas came from Biafra (present-day Nigeria), 20% from the Gold Coast (present-day Ghana), 20% from Angola and Mozambique, and only 5% from Senegambia. Most slave ships transporting slaves from Calabar belonged to merchants from Bristol and Liverpool.
