Slavery in Africa - 0 views

  •  
    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.
