options for the first blank: slave traders, crew, locals

Explanation:

To complete the sentence about the transatlantic slave trade, we analyze the context. The slave ships sold goods to warlords and another group in African ports. "Locals" doesn't fit as warlords are part of locals, "crew" is part of the ship, but "slave traders" were the ones who would buy/sell in this trade network. So the correct option for the first dropdown (the visible one) is "slave traders".

Answer:

slave traders
