The marked part of the map is Bordeaux.
Bordeaux, a city in France, is known for the slave trade and became an important port for it. Slavery started began in the seventeenth century. French merchants used to sail from the ports of Nantes and Bordeaux to the coast of Africa, where they bought enslaved people from local chieftains. The slaves were branded and then packed tightly into ships for the three-month-long voyage that involved places across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean. Port cities like Bordeaux and Nantes owed their economic prosperity to this flourishing Atlantic slave trade.
