Slavery (1550 to the end of the 18th century) (1 Jan 1550 Jahr – 1 Jan 1890 Jahr)

Beschreibung:

One of the largest mass migration of humans was the slave trade that started in 1550 when Africatraded slaves to the West Indies to meet the need for field labor in the sugar and tobacco plantations owned. By the 18th century, Britain was the world's biggest slave-trading power, and studies show that almost a fifth of wealthy Brittons derives a part, if not all, of their riches to the slave economy.
