The Atlantic Slave Trade: Empire Built on Human Suffering — Fexingo History
by Fexingo
The Atlantic slave trade was not a single enterprise but a centuries-long, globe-spanning system that transformed economies, cultures, and human lives across Africa, the Americas, and Europe. This show examines the trade from its 15th-century origins under Portuguese and Spanish colonization through its peak in the 18th century and its eventual abolition in the 19th century.

We also confront the trade's enduring legacies: the racism that justified it, the wealth it created for European empires, and the ongoing debates over reparations and memory.
