Solution

failed
failed
Answer

The answer is nineteenth century.

Explanation
Option 1: Eighteenth century

The eighteenth century saw the height of the transatlantic slave trade, with millions of Africans being transported to the Americas. However, it was not the century in which the trade or slavery ended.

Option 2: Nineteenth century

The transatlantic slave trade was officially abolished in the nineteenth century. The British Parliament passed the Abolition of the Slave Trade Act in 1807, and the United States followed with a similar ban in 1808. Slavery itself was abolished in the United States with the 13th Amendment in 1865. Other countries also abolished slavery during this century, making it the correct answer.

Option 3: Fifteenth century

The fifteenth century marks the beginning of the transatlantic slave trade, not its end. The trade began in the late 1400s with the Portuguese and Spanish exploration and colonization efforts.

Option 4: Twentieth century

While some forms of slavery persisted into the twentieth century, the transatlantic slave trade had already ended in the nineteenth century. The twentieth century saw further efforts to eradicate slavery globally, but it is not the century in which the transatlantic slave trade ended.
