Author Richard Worth explains the history of slave trading in the United States. For an enslaved African, the slave trade meant possible death in the long voyages from Africa to America. It also meant the agonizing possibility of being separated from one's family. Mr. Worth not only explains the Triangular Trade and the dreaded Middle Passage, but also the American internal slave trade that arose after international slave trading was banned by Congress.
