MCH-The Transatlantic Slave Trade

From the 1400s to the 1800s, many societies in Africa faced the constant threat of warfare, raids and kidnaping due to the continuous presence of slave traders from Europe and the Americas. This talk will explain how the transatlantic slave trade transformed Africa’s political landscape by the mass trafficking of captive people from Africa to the Americas. Presented by Rebecca Shumway, Author, and Associate Professor of History at UWM.
