The Africa Squadron's post-Civil War mission targeted the suppression of which activity?

The slave trade along the African coast Piracy off West Africa Slave labor in the Caribbean Smuggling along the Atlantic coast

Correct Answer:

The slave trade along the African coast

Explanation:

The key idea is that the Africa Squadron was an anti-slavery patrol. After the Civil War, its mission focused on stopping the illegal transatlantic slave trade along the West African coast—intercepting ships, freeing captives, and enforcing laws against the trade. This isn’t about piracy, Caribbean slave labor, or smuggling along the Atlantic coast, so the best fit is the effort to suppress the slave trade along the African coast.
