From the sixteenth to the mid-nineteenth centuries, Portuguese and Brazilian traders were responsible for transporting the highest volume of slaves during the transatlantic slave trade. It is estimated that, of the 12.5 million African slaves captured during this time, more than 5.8 million were transported in ships that sailed under the Portuguese and, later, Brazilian flags. British traders transported the second-highest volume of slaves across the Atlantic, totaling at almost 3.3 million; over 2.5 million of these were transported in the 18th century, which was the highest volume of slaves transported by one nation in one century.

Throughout the history of the transatlantic slave trade, approximately 5.7 million of the 12.5 million African slaves who embarked on slave ships did so in ports along the region of West Central Africa and St. Helena. Today, these regions are in the countries of Angola, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Gabon, and the Republic of the Congo. The majority of the rest were taken from West Africa, embarking in ports between the present-day countries of Senegal and Gabon, while a smaller number of slaves were captured in the southeast of Africa. Senegambia and off-shore Atlantic islands had the highest number of captives taken from that region in the 16th century, however West Central Africa and St. Helena was the region where most slaves embarked on their journey across the Atlantic in the following centuries. As Portuguese traders were responsible for transporting the largest volume of slaves to the Americas, it is unsurprising that many of the busiest ports in the transatlantic slave trade were in Portuguese-controlled enclaves along the African coast.

Between 1501 and 1866, it is estimated that over 12.5 million people were forced onto ships in Africa, and transported to the Americas as slaves. Furthermore, it is estimated that only 10.7 million of these slaves disembarked on the other side of the Atlantic, meaning that roughly 1.8 million did not survive the journey. The transatlantic slave trade was a part of the triangular trade route between Europe, Africa and the Americas, during the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries. Generally speaking, this route saw European merchants bring manufactured products to Africa to trade for slaves, then transport the slaves to the Americas to harvest raw materials, before taking these materials back to Europe where they would then be consumed or used in manufacturing. Slavery was an integral part in funding the expansion of Europe's colonial empires, which shaped the modern and highly globalized world in which we live today.

The Middle Passage As with trade, the slave journey was also broken into three parts; the First Passage was the stage where slaves were captured and transported to African ports, the Middle Passage was the journey across the Atlantic, while the Final Passage was where the slaves were transported to their place of work. The death toll in the First Passage is thought to be the highest of the three stages, as millions were killed or fatally wounded as they were captured, however a lack of written data and historical evidence has made this number difficult to estimate. In contrast, shipping records from the time give a much more accurate picture of the Middle Passage's death toll, and this data suggest that roughly 14.5 percent of slaves did not survive the journey. The reason for this was the harsh and cramped conditions on board; slave ships were designed in such a way that they could fit the maximum number of slaves on board in order to maximize profits. These conditions then facilitated the spread of diseases, such as smallpox and dysentery, while malnutrition and thirst created further problems. Generally, slavers aimed to keep slaves as healthy (therefore; profitable) as possible, although there are countless examples of mistreatment and punishment of slaves by their captors, and several cases where slaves were exterminated by the crew as provisions ran low.

Rise and fall of the transatlantic slave trade

The European arrival in the Americas also saw the introduction of virgin soil epidemics (new diseases being introduced to biologically defenseless populations) which decimated the indigenous populations. The abundance of natural resources, but lack of available labor led to the rise of the transatlantic slave trade. Until the mid-1600s, Portuguese traders had a near-monopoly on this trade, supplying slaves to the newly expanding Spanish and Portuguese empires in South America. As other European powers began to expand their empires in the Caribbean and North America, the slave trade grew dramatically, and during the eighteenth century, the number of slaves being brought to the New World increased from an annual average of thirty thousand in the 1690s to 87 thousand in the 1790s. The transatlantic slave trade reached its peak between the 1750 and 1850, and an average of 74 thousand slaves were brought to the Americas each year between these dates. The largest decline came as the slave trade was disrupted during the American War of Independence (1775-1783), although the trade became weakened as the abolitionist movement gained momentum in Europe and the Americas around the turn of the century. The most significant impacts came as the slave trade was abolished in Britain and the U.S. in 1807 and Brazil in 1831, and Britain then used its position as the global superpower to impose abolition on other nations and used the Royal Navy to enforce these measures. While most nations abolished the slave trade in the early 1800s, it would take decades before the actual practice of slavery would be abolished; today, slavery is illegal in almost every country, however modern slavery in the forms of forced labor, human trafficking and sexual exploitation continues to be prevalent across the globe.

In Africa, Nigeria had the highest number of people living in modern slavery, with an estimated 1.6 million people. Ethiopia and Egypt followed in second and third with around 730,000 and 440,000 people. Meanwhile, Eritrea had the highest number in terms of victims per 1,000 inhabitants.

Worldwide, India was the country with the highest number of people living in modern slavery, either as forced laborers, sexual exploitation, forced marriages, or other forms of coercion. An estimated ** million people were living in modern slavery in India, followed by *** million in China. This may be no surprise as these are the two most populous countries worldwide. North Korea was the country with the highest number of people in modern slavery per 1,000 inhabitants.

Between 1628 and 1860, it is estimated that almost 390 thousand Africans were transported as slaves to European colonies in Mainland North America. This figure refers only to those who survived the journey, as it is also thought that over 470 thousand captives embarked on these ships at African ports, however 84 thousand died en route (giving a mortality rate of 17.7 percent). The transportation of African slaves to the Thirteen Colonies was highest in the mid-18th century (although there was some fluctuation), before an observable decline around the time of the American Revolutionary War. Following independence, the importation of slaves remained lower than in previous decades, until it saw a sharp increase in the five years leading up to the slave trade's abolition. In 1807 alone, the year before the U.S. abolished the slave trade, almost 29 thousand slaves were imported from Africa into the U.S. Following this, activity declined greatly; the relatively small number of slaves imported from Africa to the U.S. were most likely into the Spanish territory of Florida. Smuggling also existed on a smaller scale; this accounts for the entries in 1858 and 1860.

Throughout the history of the transatlantic slave trade, approximately 5.7 million of the 12.5 million African slaves who embarked on slave ships did so in ports along the region of West Central Africa and St. Helena; of these 5.7 million, almost 3.9 million were destined for Brazil. This region was also the most common point of origin for slaves destined for the Spanish and Dutch Americas, and French colonies in the Caribbean. The majority of slaves destined for British colonies in the Caribbean were taken from ports along the Bight of Biafra or the Gold Coast, while the regions of Senegambia and nearby Atlantic islands was the most common for slaves destined for mainland North America. This data refers only to the number of slaves who embarked on ships in Africa, and not the number who disembarked; it is estimated that approximately 14.5 percent of slaves who embarked on ships destined for the Americas died during the Middle Passage.

Beginning in the 16th century, European traders began to buy or capture people in the African continent to enslave and sell for profit. This trade began with Portugal and Spain, but it later expanded to include France, England, the Netherlands and other European countries. By the time the trading of enslaved people was finally put to an end in the 19th century, Europeans had abducted an estimated 12.5 million African people from their homelands, forced them onto ships, trafficked them to the Americas, and sold them on the auction block. Almost two million people died during transport; most of the rest were forced into labor camps, also called plantations. This extensive and gruesome human trafficking is commonly referred to as the transatlantic slave trade. The Portuguese began human trafficking in Africa by trading manufactured goods or money for Africans who had been captured during local wars. Later, some Europeans captured Africans themselves or paid other local Africans to do it for them. Europeans traded for or kidnapped Africans from many points on Africa’s coast, including Angola, Senegambia and Mozambique. Most of the people who were enslaved by the Europeans came from West and Central Africa.The most brutal segment of the route was the Middle Passage, which transported chained African people across the Atlantic Ocean as they were packed tightly below the decks of purpose-built ships in unsanitary conditions. This trip could last weeks or even months depending on conditions, and the trafficked people were subjected to abuse, dangerously high heat, inadequate food and water, and low-oxygen environments. Olaudah Equiano, a young boy who was forced into the Middle Passage after being captured in his home country of Nigeria, later described the foul conditions as “intolerably loathsome” and detailed how people died from sickness and lack of air. Approximately 1.8 million African people are thought to have died during the passage, accounting for about 15–25 percent of those who were taken from Africa.For many enslaved Africans trafficked across the Atlantic, the port at which their ship landed was not their final destination. Enslaved people were often transported by ship between two points in the Americas, particularly from Portuguese, Dutch and British colonies to Spanish ones. This was the intra-American slave trade. No matter where they landed, enslaved Africans faced brutal living conditions and high mortality rates. Moreover, any children born to enslaved persons were also born into slavery, usually with no hope of ever gaining freedom.This data set is the culmination of decades of archival research compiled by the SlaveVoyages Consortium. This data represents the trafficking of enslaved Africans from 1514 to 1866. All mapmakers must make choices when presenting data. This map layer represents individuals who experts can definitively place at a given location on one of at least 36,000 transatlantic and at least 10,000 intra-American human trafficking routes. However, this means the enslaved people for whom records cannot place their departure or arrival with certainty do not appear on this map (approximately 170,985 people). This map, therefore, is part of the story and not a complete accounting. You can learn more about the methodology of this data collection here.

There were almost 700 thousand slaves in the U.S. in 1790, which equated to approximately 18 percent of the total population, or roughly one in six people. By 1860, the final census taken before the American Civil War, there were four million slaves in the South, compared with less than 500,000 free Black Americans in all of the U.S.. Of the 4.4 million Blacks in the U.S. before the war, almost four million of these people were held as slaves; meaning that for all African Americans living in the US in 1860, there was an 89 percent* chance that they lived in slavery. A brief history Trans-Atlantic slavery began in the early 16th century, when the Portuguese and Spanish forcefully brought enslaved Africans to the New World. The British Empire introduced slavery to North America on a large scale, and the economy of the British colonies there depended on slave labor, particularly regarding cotton, sugar, and tobacco output. In the seventeenth and eighteenth century the number of slaves being brought to the Americas increased exponentially, and at the time of American independence it was legal in all thirteen colonies. Although slavery became increasingly prohibited in the north, the number of slaves remained high during this time as they were simply relocated or sold from the north to the south. It is also important to remember that the children of slaves were also viewed as property, and were overwhelmingly born into a life of slavery. Abolition and the American Civil War In the years that followed independence, the Northern States gradually prohibited slavery, it was officially abolished there by 1805, and the importation of slave labor was prohibited nationwide from 1808 (although both still existed in practice after this). Business owners in the Southern States however depended on slave labor in order to meet the demand of their rapidly expanding industries, and the issue of slavery continued to polarize American society in the decades to come. This culminated in the election of President Abraham Lincoln in 1860, who promised to prohibit slavery in the newly acquired territories to the west, leading to the American Civil War from 1861 to 1865. Although the Confederacy (south) took the upper hand in much of the early stages of the war, the strength in numbers of the northern states including many free, Black men, eventually resulted in a victory for the Union (north), and the nationwide abolishment of slavery with the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865. Legacy In total, an estimated twelve to thirteen million Africans were transported to the Americas as slaves, and this does not include the high number who did not survive the journey (which was as high as 23 percent in some years). In the 150 years since the abolition of slavery in the US, the African-American community have continuously campaigned for equal rights and opportunities that were not afforded to them along with freedom. The most prominent themes have been the Civil Rights Movement, voter suppression, mass incarceration, and the relationship between the police and the African-American community.

The company known as Franklin & Armfield was the largest slave-trading business in the United States during its years of operation from 1828 to 1836, and it may have been the largest in American history. Partners and agents of the company sold more than 1,600 enslaved people in New Orleans, which housed the largest market for enslaved people in the entire country. The dataset included here contains detailed information about those sales, documenting the names of the enslaved and the individuals who purchased them, some demographic and physical descriptions of the enslaved, the terms of their sales, and other relevant matters. Most information was extracted from records kept by notaries who recorded many of the slave sales in the city.

The Middle East is one of the most vulnerable regions to modern slavery. Among the Middle Eastern states, the three countries with the largest share of at least 20 people for every 1,000 individuals living in modern slavery were from Saudi Arabia in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC).At the same time, Oman had the lowest levels of slavery among GCC countries, respectively. Jordan, on the other hand, had the highest share of individuals living in slavery among non-GCC countries. Modern-day slavery There are many forms of forced labor worldwide, with victims numbering in the millions. Organizations such as the International Labour Organization have been at the forefront of addressing the challenges of slavery in the 21st century. The response from governments towards modern slavery has been varied, with some states taking stronger action than others. Countries such as those in the GCC, which are dependent on a large immigrant workforce, are often more susceptible to worker exploitation. Global scrutiny on working conditions in the GCC Although contemporary slavery has been a major issue affecting many Arab and Gulf nations, the response of Arab states towards modern slavery shows that efforts are being made to address the issue. The rise in globalization, the goal of Arab states to diversify their economies and attract more foreign visitors, has put the treatment of their largely foreign labor force under increased scrutiny. A prime example was the FIFA World Cup hosted in Qatar in 2022, which put a spotlight on the conditions of employees working on some mega projects related to the event. Likewise, Saudi Arabia has increasingly been hosting international sporting and entertainment events, which have been the center of much debate from both domestic and foreign observers. This has compelled states to enact policies to ensure a more comprehensive oversight of labor protections and worker rights.

In 1807, the US Congress enacted the "Act Prohibiting Importation of Slaves," which outlawed the nation’s participation in the transatlantic slave trade. This very same statute required any captain of a coastwise vessel with enslaved people onboard to file a manifest listing those individuals by name with the collector (or in his absence, the surveyor) of the port of departure and of the port of arrival. As a result of this legislation, the coastwise traffic was systematically documented. Enslaved people were forcibly carried to and from dozens of ports in this period, but by far, the largest portion of the coastwise trade consisted of enslaved people being sent to New Orleans, the largest slave market in the country. In total, approximately 4,000 "inward manifests” documenting the coastwise traffic to New Orleans survive. They list the names of more than 63,000 enslaved people. The Oceans of Kinfolk Database includes information from each of these records, including captive names (first and often last), heights, racial descriptions, as well as each individual’s owner, shipper, and/or consignor. "Every variable found in the first edition of Oceans of Kinfolk presented a new, tidy encapsulation of grotesque epistemological violence," the creator argues; the data is being reconfigured and recontextualized at Kinfolkology, a digital archive, collaborative database collective, and living memorial honoring the humanity and kinships of enslaved people, https://www.kinfolkology.org/.

Throughout the transatlantic slave trade, approximately 2.3 million enslaved Africans disembarked in the British Caribbean between the 17th and early-19th centuries. Almost half of these slaves disembarked in Jamaica, which was Britain's most valuable and profitable possession in the Caribbean in these times. Barbados was the second most common destination for slaves disembarking in the British Caribbean, and it was the most common destination in the 17th century, due to the booming sugarcane industry that emerged in the 1640s. Several other islands saw the disembarking of more than one hundred thousand slaves, mostly along the Lesser Antilles in the 18th century, while British Guiana and other islands saw the arrivals of fewer slaves, although they still numbered in the tens of thousands. Almost eighty percent of all slave arrivals in the British Caribbean took place in the 1700s; the highest number of slaves disembarked in the British Caribbean in the final quarter of this century, as Britain sought to invest in and protect its colonies in the Americas, after the loss of its most profitable colony following the United States' declaration of independence in 1776 (although the subsequent Revolutionary War did greatly disrupt the transatlantic slave trade from1776 to 1783).

Anansi Masters - the story continues

The Anansi Masters project is developed by Vista Far Reaching Visuals (Mr. Jean Hellwig) and partners. It is designed as a public digital platform at http://www.anansimasters.net and opened in 2007. At the website one can find information about the story character of Nanzi (or Anansi or Kweku Ananse), with English and Dutch subtitled video recordings of storytelling in several countries in different languages, educational modules about storytelling for use at schools and academies, and digital issues of the Anansi Masters Journal published since the beginning of the project. All storytelling videos and videos that were made for documentation or marketing purposes are published on Youtube. Since 2012 all films of Anansi Masters were uploaded to Youtube and linked to the Anansi Masters website. Their display is embedded in the website together with the respective metadata that are entered through a custom made content management system (CMS).

In March 2012, public storytelling events were organized by Drs. Jean Hellwig (Hellwig Productions AV / Vista Far Reaching Visuals Foundation) on the islands of Curacao and Aruba. Any professional or non-professional storyteller was invited to tell a story in front of the Anansi Masters camera and the available audience. Storytellers were free to choose their story and language. Each storyteller had to agree that the video registration of their story could be made available for open access. Storytellers were asked in front of the camera to answer a few questions about who they are and how they selected the story that they told. The Anansi Masters project started in 2007 with the registration of Kweku Ananse stories in Ghana and The Netherlands. The storytelling events organized on Curacao and Aruba in 2012 were part of the second phase 'Anansi Masters - the story continues'. The project registers contemporary ways of storytelling from an old tradition and aims to stimulate and revitalize the Nanzi storytelling by making the storytelling videos available to a large international audience. In 2008 a dvd in Dutch was released with 22 stories from Ghana and The Netherlands. In 2013 a dvd in English is released with all 32 stories that were recorded on Curaçao and Aruba.

This dataset contains the documentation, video files, documents and pictures that were made to document the second phase of the Anansi Masters project with the subtitle 'the story continues'. These files were produced to report the process and results to the sponsoring funds and to be used in marketing through Facebook.

This dataset contains the following: - report in Dutch with separate appendices - videos with datasheets 0015 - 0022 reflecting some of performances in the media to market the storytelling events - short video impression with datasheet 0023 of a musical performance at the storytelling event in Curacao - a list with names and codes of the recorded stories and storytellers

For each storyteller and their stories a new dataset has been created. Links to these datasets can be found under 'Relations'.
