    As the title suggests, this webpage covers the slavery in America. It talks about the traditions of slavery in America-- how it originated, role of slavery-- and effects of slave trade-- the trans saharan slavery and atlantic trade, which Morgan also covered in his article. It also covers the end of slave trading in Africa which might be irrelevant to the topics since Armesto and Morgan talks about the slavery itself not how it ended, but might be useful when one's comparing the slavery in Africa and in America how it differs.

      shows how slavery in Africa was not as severe or brutal as slavery in the New World

  • supply of slaves to the Gold Coast was entirely in African hands

      "African Resistance to Enslavement" - pg. 37. This article suggests that the Africans did not voluntarily go into slavery. In fact, this article gives multiple examples as how the Africans rebelled and revolted against their "masters." This article gives descriptions as how the Africans tried to flee and escape not only from their "owners," but while they were in transit to a new place to work. This article will contrast nicely with the "Africa and the Atlantic" article we read by Philip D. Morgan because that article seemed to suggest that the Africans voluntarily enslaved themselves, unlike this one.

    This source is good because it is a book, published under a university press, that goes into detail about many aspects of slavery and the slave trade. This is also a good source because it talks about the various nations involved in the slave trade and it also covers a large time period (~1600-1920)

    In an act concerning the killing of disobedient slaves, The Commonwealth of Virginia states that the master is not guilty of murder. This excerpt shows that North Americans degrade the African American population to "estate", or property. This act reveals that slaves are not thought of as humans since they do not even have the right to a trial of their killers in their deaths by the hands of their masters.
