The book underscores how the transatlantic slave trade was foundational to America's economic, social, and political structures. It traces the development of slavery across the Americas, detailing the horrific conditions endured by enslaved people, their resistance efforts, and the economic impact of their forced labor on industries like cotton, sugar, and tobacco. Furthermore, it examines the rise of abolitionist movements, highlighting key figures and the factors that led to slavery's eventual abolition. Finally, Slavery Trade addresses the long-term consequences of slavery, including the legacies of racial discrimination and systemic inequalities. By using extensive historical records, the book provides a comprehensive analysis, connecting the past to contemporary discussions about race, inequality, and social justice.
