Animated history of the Transatlantic Slave Trade -- Some very interesting facts!

[Sikeliot]

If you click on a dot, it is representing a slave ship, says where it came from, went to, etc.

Iberia was the only region in Europe to directly import slaves from Africa... so Iberians, when you see extra SSA scores on your 23andme and GEDmatch, no, it is not always indirect from North Africa! Most slaves brought to Iberia were Senegambians.

Also, there were even slaves taken from Sudan, Uganda, South Africa, Namibia, and Madagascar and brought to the New World (especially the Caribbean)! Why do we never learn about this?

When it comes the slavery, the Iberians got nothing on the Greco-Romans.

You need to read books about the topic. You could start with the book The Slave Trade of Hugh Thomas :rolleyes:
