Atlantic history is generally surveyed through the prism of the North Atlantic. Yet the South Atlantic had a distinct historical pattern through the Sailing Age. Eighteenth- and nineteenth-century maps and nautical guides, taking into account the system of currents and winds under the meteorological equator, which is on the north side of the geometrical equator, called the southern part of the Atlantic the "Ethiopic Ocean." This term helps to emphasize the singularity, the boundaries, and the periodization of South Atlantic history. Indeed, generations of missiologist, colonial, and self-taught authors, as well as great and less great historians, researched such subjects. Their works depict a genealogy of the South Atlantic World that leads to a more diversified and perhaps more conclusive Atlantic history. KEYWORDS: Atlantic history, South Atlantic historiography, Ethiopic Ocean, slave trade
