Description:

In the 17th and 18th century, thousands of British families are made wealthy owing to the slave-produced sugar. The British Empire sets sail from Europe with a cargo of manufactured goods earmarked for slave trade, when arriving at Africa, the African traders there would send young Africans overseas to be sold. From there, they would sail across the Atlantic ocean with workable slaves on board.
