The correct statement about the Atlantic slave trade in the 18th century is: d.) British ships were primarily responsible for the transport of enslaved Africans to the Americas in the 18th century. Explanation: 1. During the 18th century, British ships played a significant role in the transatlantic slave trade, transporting enslaved Africans from Africa to the Americas. 2. The British were among the major European powers involved in the trade of enslaved individuals, contributing to the exploitation and transportation of Africans to work on plantations in the Americas. 3. The British involvement in the Atlantic slave trade was a crucial aspect of their colonial expansion and economic prosperity during this period. 4. Enslaved Africans were forcibly taken from their homelands and subjected to inhumane conditions during the Middle Passage, the brutal journey across the Atlantic Ocean aboard slave ships. This option accurately reflects the historical reality of the British role in the transatlantic slave trade during the 18th century.
