A Pictorial History of the Slave Trade
Aguet, Isabelle
The
violent uprooting and transplanting of the Negro race from its native
Africa to the American continent forms one of the most sinister and
tragic episodes in western history. The New World needed labor ...
adventurers landed on the shores of Guinea and captured whole families
or made arrangements with local rulers who supplied slaves in exchange
for cloth, shoddy goods, and alcohol. They were herded together in worse
conditions than cattle, chained up in the holds of small ships, badly
treated by cruel crews - for these captives the voyage across the ocean
was martyrdom. Upon arrival in the New World, auctions of human flesh
sundered families already decimated by the grim tortures of the voyage -
and the exchange of coin or produce vested the right of life itself in
another's hands. ...
