  • Stand the Storm: A History of the Atlantic Slave Trade

    James A RawleyDATASETThe SHAFR Guide Online2017Cited by: 1

    Over a period of 300 years, 10 million slaves were brought from Africa to the Americas to work on the plantations, giving rise to serious socio-political implications which are still being felt to this day. They were herded into slave ships in appalling conditions that went unheeded until the social pressures of the 19th century put an end to the trade. Stripped naked, shaved and crammed into the steaming holds of the vessels, thousands died befo…

  • Richard Harris, Slave Trader Spokesman

    Open AccessJames A RawleyARTICLEAlbion A Quarterly Journal…1991References: 8

    “So little is known of the separate traders,” lamented the historian of the Royal African Company, K. G. Davies, that he was reduced to perceptive speculation about their activity. The authority, Basil Williams, writing about the period 1714–1760, asserted, “The traffic in negro slaves was carried on mainly by the Royal African Company....“ In actuality a great deal can be discovered about the separate traders and their activity. The papers of Hu…

  • Economic Growth and the Ending of the Transatlantic Slave Trade

    James A Rawley, David EltisARTICLEThe Journal of Southern History1988Cited by: 5

    This study is the first to consider the consequences of Britain's abolition of the Atlantic slave trade for British imperial expansion and the world economy. It argues that the British led the way in ending that trade just when it was beginning to be important for the world economy, when there was a great need for labour around the world, and shows that Britain's control of the slave trade and great reliance on slave labour had played a major rol…

    African scholars devoted a fair amount of attention to Archibald Dalzel during the years 1965-1967. Interest centered on his History of Dahomy and new biographical materials. Trained as a surgeon, Dalzel served as an officer of the Company of Merchants Trading to Africa in 1763-1770 and again in 1791-1802, attempted a career as a slave merchant, and wrote The History of Dahomy in 1793. Observing that Information concerning Dalzel's life scarce, L…
