Definición

  • Although the Portuguese generally controlled the African slave trade in the 15th century, slavery upon American soil began in the 1600s and officially ended in 1863, following the Civil War and the passing of the Emancipation Proclamation. African rulers, forging relationships with European traders in exchange for weaponry to expand their territories, used middlemen to navigate the African interior for human capital (often prisoners of war).
