Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: *Includes pictures *Includes accounts of the slave trade written by British sailors and former slaves *Includes online resources and a bibliography for further reading *Includes a table of contents "The deck, that is the floor of their rooms, was so covered with the blood and mucus which had proceeded from them in consequence of the flux, that it resembled a slaughter-house. It is not in the power of the human imagination to picture a situation more dreadful or disgusting. Numbers of the slaves having fainted, they were carried upon deck where several of them died and the rest with great difficulty were restored. It had nearly proved fatal to me also." - Dr. Alexander Falconbridge, an 18th century British surgeon It has often been said that the greatest invention of all time was the sail, which facilitated the internationalization of the globe and thus ushered in the modern era. Columbus' contact with the New World, alongside European maritime contact with the Far East, transformed human history, and in particular the history of Africa. It was the sail that linked the continents of Africa and America, and thus it was also the sail that facilitated the greatest involuntary human migration of all time. The African slave trade is a complex and deeply divisive subject that has had a tendency to evolve according the political requirements of any given age, and is often touchable only with the correct distribution of culpability. It has for many years, therefore, been deemed singularly unpalatable to implicate Africans themselves in the perpetration of the institution, and only in recent years has the large-scale African involvement in both the Atlantic and Indian Ocean Slave Trades come to be an accepted fact. There can, however, be no doubt that even though large numbers of indigenous Africans were liable, it was European ingenuity and greed that fundamentally drove the industrialization of the Transatlantic slave trade in response to massive new market demands created by their equally ruthless exploitation of the Americas. In time, the Atlantic slave trade provided for the labor requirements of the emerging plantation economies of the New World. It was a specific, dedicated and industrial enterprise wherein huge profits were at stake, and a vast and highly organized network of procurement, processing, transport and sale existed to expedite what was in effect a modern commodity market. It existed without sentimentality, without history, and without tradition, and it was only outlawed once the advances of the industrial revolution had created alternative sources of energy for agricultural production. The Transatlantic Slave Trade: The History and Legacy of the System that Brought Slaves to the New World looks at the notorious trade network. Along with pictures of important people, places, and events, you will learn about the Transatlantic slave trade like never before, in no time at all.

Book Synopsis In the Shadow of Slavery by : Judith Carney
Download or read book In the Shadow of Slavery written by Judith Carney and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2011-02-01 with total page 296 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transatlantic slave trade forced millions of Africans into bondage. Until the early nineteenth century, African slaves came to the Americas in greater numbers than Europeans. In the Shadow of Slavery provides a startling new assessment of the Atlantic slave trade and upends conventional wisdom by shifting attention from the crops slaves were forced to produce to the foods they planted for their own nourishment. Many familiar foods—millet, sorghum, coffee, okra, watermelon, and the "Asian" long bean, for example—are native to Africa, while commercial products such as Coca Cola, Worcestershire Sauce, and Palmolive Soap rely on African plants that were brought to the Americas on slave ships as provisions, medicines, cordage, and bedding. In this exciting, original, and groundbreaking book, Judith A. Carney and Richard Nicholas Rosomoff draw on archaeological records, oral histories, and the accounts of slave ship captains to show how slaves' food plots—"botanical gardens of the dispossessed"—became the incubators of African survival in the Americas and Africanized the foodways of plantation societies.
Book Synopsis Legacy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade: House Hearing on Legislation to Study Slavery Reparations for African-Americans, Moral and Legal Justificati by : U. S. Congress
Download or read book Legacy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade: House Hearing on Legislation to Study Slavery Reparations for African-Americans, Moral and Legal Justificati written by U. S. Congress and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-02-28 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A hearing before the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties of the Committee on the Judiciary on the Legacy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade discussed H.R. 40, a commission to study reparation proposals for the African American Act. Chairman Conyers stated, " Essentially, this is a first-time historical examination of the circumstances surrounding the enslavement trade of Africans in the colonies in the United States. The purpose of the measure before us, House Resolution 40, is to create a commission to examine the institution of slavery, its lingering effects, and to make a series of recommendations to the Congress. So we do that through a commission that would consider a number of questions, and we would have a seven-person commission-three members appointed by the President of the United States, three appointed by the Speaker of the House of Representatives and one member appointed by the President Pro Tempore of the Senate. These persons would be especially qualified to serve on the commission by virtue of their education, training or experience, particularly in the field of cultural relations, sociological considerations, African American studies, and other things. The interesting thing about the way this Committee is designed is that we do not limit it to merely the commissioner's testimony. We would have field hearings where Americans across the country would be able to give their impressions and their views and opinions. We are delighted that this effort has now gone beyond the discussion stage, introduced in 1989, and we come to this hearing about 13 days from the 200th anniversary of the moment when the abolition of the trans-Atlantic slave trade took place, where the government decided that the kidnapping, purchase and commercial export of Africans would be no more; but it would take 57 years later to end the institution of slavery in 1865, the 13th amendment, then the 14th amendment and, following, the 15th amendment, which were to serve guarantees to Africans and African Americans of their equal rights and opportunities and protections. So we are here to not examine what your view is on reparations in particular, but more as to whether we should have a study and whether that would be useful and purposeful."Individuals testifying included Professor Charles Ogletree, Director of the Charles Hamilton Houston Institute for Race and Justice, Harvard Law School; Kibibi Tyehimba, National Co-Chair, National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations In America (N'cobra), and Roger Clegg, President and General Counsel, Center for Equal Opportunity.

Download or read book History of the Slave Trade written by Edoardo Albert and published by Fox Chapel Publishing. This book was released on 2023-01-30 with total page 131 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The transatlantic slave trade is one of the most shameful chapters in human history. Between 1500 and 1900 it’s estimated that around 12 million African men, women, and children were stolen from their homes by Europeans, before being forcefully transported thousands of miles across the Atlantic. Those who survived the horrific ‘Middle Passage’ would then be sold, often separated from their families, and put to work as enslaved labor on plantations throughout the New World. While this inhumane trade was eventually abolished in the 19th century, the scars still remain and the lasting impact is still being felt by communities around the world. In History of the Slave Trade, we seek to tell the story of the transatlantic slave trade – from its origins to its abolition. We discover the impact on Africa, the horrors of the Middle Passage, and what life was like for millions of enslaved people. We also look to explore the legacies of slavery and how the effects are still being felt in the modern world.

Book excerpt: The mid-15th century gave rise to the massive slave trades. Hoards of people were brought over to the United States as slaves to work in the tobacco and cotton fields amid other labor-intensive vocations. These people were considered property and were purchased from their native homelands in the African continent in exchange for weapons. The trade had become a profitable business for African kingdoms who used these weapons to wage war and capture more people from neighboring kingdoms which also then were sold into slavery. This is the story of the Transatlantic slave trade. The slaves that were transported experienced deplorable conditions during their voyage that took months on end. And about 20% of them never made it alive. Those who made it suffered a harsh reality working long hours and the possibility of torture, or death, should they offer their masters the slightest bit of provocation or disobedience. This slave trade was incredibly profitable for the traders, but an absolute misery to the slaves who were considered less than human beings. Come and learn about this great tragedy and the plight suffered by these people. Here's a preview of what you'll discover in this book: Slavery throughout antiquity - A historic perspective The beginnings of the Transatlantic slave trade How the slave trade became a lucrative global business The inner workings of the slave trade The social implications and human costs ..... And much more! The Transatlantic slave trade went on until about the mid-19th century and exacted a tremendous toll on human freedom and dignity. Its effects were so devastating and far-reaching that we feel the repercussions till this day. This indispensable book was written to highlight the ugly truth behind the slave trade so that we could profoundly learn about the various aspects of the great blunder and ensure that history does not repeat itself.

The East African Slave Trade on the other hand, or the Indian Ocean Slave Trade as it was also known, was a far more complex and nuanced phenomenon, far older, significantly more widespread, rooted in ancient traditions, and governed by rules very different to those in the western hemisphere. It is also often referred to as the Arab Slave Trade, although this, specifically, might perhaps be more accurately applied to the more ancient variant of organized African slavery, affecting North Africa, and undertaken prior to the advent of Islam and certainly prior to the spread of the institution south as far as the south/east African coast. It also involved the slavery of non-African races and was, therefore, more general in scope.
