About this listen

If you want to discover the captivating and cruel history of the transatlantic slave trade, then pay attention....

Did you know that during the 18th century on certain Caribbean islands, such as Jamaica and Antigua, roughly 90 percent of the population were enslaved? If you want to learn what led to this shocking turn of events, then you're in the right place.

This guide will take you on a journey across time, from the late 1400s to the very end of the 19th century, as well as across the globe, from Europe, across Africa, to the American continents. It will tell you the story of human greed and heartlessness toward fellow human beings, and it will lead you through the painful and often macabre voyage of the transatlantic slave trade. You’ll learn how this deplorable act grew from its “humble” beginnings into one of the most lucrative businesses, in which human lives were nothing but a commodity before morality, along with other incentives, put a stop to it.

In this Captivating Guide to the transatlantic slave trade, you’ll learn some of these facts:

  • Why and how the slave trade began
  • Where most of the enslaved people came from and where most of them were shipped to
  • The European nations that participated in the slave trade
  • How the slave trade network grew and evolved through time
  • The role African nations played in trafficking their own neighbors
  • How the enslaved were treated and the suffering they went through
  • Who started the abolition of the slave trade and why
  • How long it took for the transatlantic slave trade to finally end
  • And more
