The transatlantic slave trade reaches its peak volume

node

The forced transatlantic transport of African people, which began in the first decade of the sixteenth century, reached its greatest annual volumes in the eighteenth — long after the voyages that opened the routes and driven by the expansion of the sugar, coffee and cotton plantation complex rather than by exploration. The chronology matters for how the period is taught: the opening of the Atlantic did not itself cause the trade, but it built the wind knowledge, the shipping, the finance and the demand that made a trade of that scale possible.

A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
