The Trans Atlantic Slave Trade Eric Jones

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.
