led to fighting between European countries.

Explanation

Slavery in the Americas became a system based largely on race: Europeans enslaved Africans and their descendants, treating Blackness as justification for lifelong, inherited enslavement. It was not universally banned in 1810; abolition happened at different times in different places. The Atlantic slave trade also transported more men than women overall.
