An atrocity? I don't believe so. The word "atrocity" commonly is used when describing barbarous action during a war.

A southern gentlemen prior to 1810 goes and looks for some slaves to buy. He has money. Unless he willfully closes his eyes and ears to the evidence presented in many sources, he knows perfectly well that his money is financing African wars whose sole purpose is to collect slaves. He also knows that for every 10 slaves he buys, a few potential slaves will have died en route.

It's barbarism by proxy, but it's still barbarism.
