The Atlantic System

I will outline how the Atlantic system affects Europe, Africa and the United States. (Earth and Its People, 500) The flow of things, people, and wealth around the end of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries permanently change the societies of Europe, Africa, North America, and South America, thereby influencing the effects of globalization Has been increased. It is modern. The most influential of this movement is sometimes called triangular trade between "Atlantic Circuit", Western Europe, West Africa and the West Indies.

From the 17th century to the early 19th century the second Atlantic system was traded by slave Africans led by British, French, and Dutch merchants. As European countries developed economically slave dependent colonies through sugar farming, most Africans sold as slaves during the second Atlantic system were sent to Caribbean sugar island. More than half of the slave trade was estimated to have been done in the 18th century, and the UK was the largest transatlantic slave transporter in the UK. After the Napoleonic War most international slave trade was abolished (American slavery still existed in the late nineteenth century)

It is estimated that between 16 and 12 million Africans engaged in the Atlantic slave trade have arrived in the New World between the 16th and the 19th century. The first Atlantic system refers to the Portuguese merchants who dominated the West African slave trade in the 16th century - New World colonies and importers of Africa - Spain and Portugal. Atlantic slave trade was done throughout the Atlantic, mainly from the 16th century to the 19th century. The majority of the slaves for the New World were Africans from the Midwest of the African continent and were sold to European slave merchants transferred from the African tribes to North American and South American colonies. Most contemporary historians estimate that between 4 million and 12 million Africans came to the New World between the 16th and 19th centuries.
