Economic Reasons For The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade And Its Abolition
Number of pages:
4
ABSTRACT:
4 pages in length. Historically, the quest for economic success fuels many reasons for events to occur, some for the better but even more for the worse. The trans-Atlantic slave trade and its eventual abolition are two such incidents whereby the fundamental motivation was the European and American desire to industrialize on the backs of those forcibly placed at the bottom of the human chain. Economic growth - or that which was perceived to be growth - was also the reason for Europe's withdrawal from the slave trade, a faulty decision that would ultimately damaged the stronghold Britain once had upon myriad commodity markets. Bibliography lists 4 sources.
