Description
A new perspective on the transatlantic slave trade emerges in this comprehensive history. British, African, and American merchants collectively transformed the slave trade through innovative business methods, resulting in a brutal system that enslaved millions of people every year. The slave trade expanded rapidly in the 18th century, with Britain's involvement growing into a transatlantic system. African brokers developed commercial infrastructure, while Britons and American slave traders devised shipping methods to quell resistance and brutal techniques to quickly sell enslaved people. This study provides a wide-ranging account of the slave trade's development, shedding light on the complex network of people and processes that dragged millions into its terrible vortex, making it one of the most significant phenomena in world history.
