Atlas of the Week: Hey gang! Check out this atlas of the transatlantic slave trade. There is a fairly new database, which has collected over 30,000 documents detailing specific slave voyages that took place from 1500 to 1900. It is very interesting to see the numbers of African Americans that they brought to America, and how they relate to other historic events that have taken place in the same time period. The information is clearly articulated and illustrated in a way that makes it easy to follow, even though the primary sources date so far back and are definitely worded differently from the language of the 21st century. So read this, or at least analyze the numeric values, because you may need it for your next History class.
