[edit] BLACK CARGOES
A general history of the Atlantic slave trade, this volume tells how nearly 40 million Africans died between the 17th and 19th centuries by explaining how they were captured, purchased and sold. It also looks at the anti-slavery movements and the abolition of the trade.
Black Cargoes is the most scholarly general history of the Atlantic slave trade, and it tells a story of how nearly forty million Africans died between the seventeenth and nineteenth centuries. It is a story of greed, violence daring and incredible callousness, enacted by both white and black men. In England and France it produced enormous fortunes that helped to finance the Industrial Revolution. In Africa it produced misery and social disintegration. In America it gave rise to the plantation system, the maritime trade of New England and the Civil War. Black Cargoes explains how, where and why slaves were captured, how they were purchased by sea captains and packed into holds like merchandise, and how the survivors were sold.
