Although you did not provide any context, reference, or text, we can answer in general terms in order to help you.

Black slaves were obtained from the African interior through the Trans Sharan trade and the Transatlantic Slave trade. Whites striped members of families away to be sold in the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Of course, Equiano did not agree with the methods used because they were cruel. As he described in his book "The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano," African slaves were transported to the Americas in overcrowded spaces in ships that crossed teh ocean on a long trip. Inside the ship, the spread of diseases sickened many slaves and killed others.

the phoenicians, based on a narrow coastal strip of the levant, put their excellent seafaring skills to good use and created a network of colonies and trade centres across the ancient mediterranean. their major trade routes were by sea to the greek islands, across southern europe, down the atlantic coast of africa, and up to ancient britain. in addition, arabia and india were reached via the red sea, and vast areas of western asia were connected to the homeland via land routes where goods were transported by caravan. by the 9th century bce, the phoenicians had established themselves as one of the greatest trading powers in the ancient world.
