Historical context in brief
The Atlantic Slave Trade was a transoceanic system that forcibly transported millions of Africans, linking ports and plantations through what is often described as a “triangular” pattern of trade.
Beyond numbers, it reshaped languages, religions, and cultures across the Atlantic world, while enslaved people resisted through everyday survival, revolts, and the creation of new communities.
