However, Europeans greatly expanded and entrenched the slave trade. Through primary sources and annotated quotes, readers experience the horrors of slavery from the perspective of those it affected. A detailed timeline and discussion questions add to this essential reading experience that illustrates the lasting global effects of the transatlantic slave trade.
