The slave trade has everything to do with capitalism.

The point of capitalism is to make as much profit as possible. If you don't have to pay your workers then you can make maximum profit.

If you disagree please tell me what the slave trade resulted from and why my post is wrong. Then give the definition of capitalism and how the two (capitalism and slave trade) are unrelated.
