The Slave Trade: Slavery And Color by Theodore Jervey is a comprehensive historical account of the transatlantic slave trade and its impact on the African continent, Europe, and the Americas. The book explores the origins of the slave trade, tracing its roots back to the 15th century when Portuguese traders began capturing and selling African slaves to European colonies in the New World. Jervey delves into the economic and political motivations behind the slave trade, highlighting the role of European powers in perpetuating the system of slavery for their own benefit. He also examines the social and cultural implications of slavery, including the ways in which race and color became defining factors in the lives of enslaved people and their descendants.The book covers a wide range of topics related to the slave trade, including the Middle Passage, the slave markets of West Africa, the conditions of slavery in the Americas, and the abolitionist movement. Jervey draws on a wealth of primary sources, including letters, diaries, and government documents, to provide a vivid and compelling account of this dark chapter in human history.Overall, The Slave Trade: Slavery And Color is an important and informative work that sheds light on the complex and often brutal history of the transatlantic slave trade. It is a must-read for anyone interested in understanding the origins and legacy of slavery in the modern world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
