Introduction: Three hundred years of grief and greed -- The advent of the African slave trade -- Exploration, gold, and African slaves -- A triangular trade -- Slave traders, slave owners, and slaves -- The effects of the transatlantic slave trade -- The end of the transatlantic slave trade -- Glossary.

Several trade routes throughout history included the trafficking of slaves. Yet perhaps no routes have had such a profound impact on the lives of as many people as Trans-Atlantic slave networks. Just the journey alone from Africa to Europe, North America, and South America resulted in the deaths of more than a million enslaved Africans. Trans-Atlantic Slave Networks investigates the reasons for the so-called triangular trade, what happened to the slaves themselves and those who traded them, and the lasting consequences of the trade routes.
