Were Most Enslaved Africans Taken to Mexico?

No. The vast majority of enslaved Africans transported across the Atlantic were sent to the Caribbean, Brazil, and the United States. Mexico received a relatively small number in comparison.

While New Spain (colonial Mexico) did participate in the slave trade, its demand was far lower than sugar-producing Caribbean colonies or Portuguese Brazil. Estimates suggest under 200,000 Africans were brought to Mexico over three centuries, versus millions to Brazil and the Caribbean alone.
