In this comprehensive history of the rise and fall of the RAC, William A. Pettigrew grounds the transatlantic slave trade in politics, not economic forces, analyzing the ideological arguments of the RAC and its opponents in Parliament and in public debate. Ultimately, Pettigrew powerfully reasons that freedom became the rallying cry for those who wished to participate in the slave trade and therefore bolstered the expansion of the largest intercontinental forced migration in history. Unlike previous histories of the RAC, Pettigrew's study pursues the Company's story beyond the trade's complete deregulation in 1712 to its demise in 1752. Opening the trade led to its escalation, which provided a reliable supply of enslaved Africans to the mainland American colonies, thus playing a critical part in entrenching African slavery as the colonies' preferred solution to the American problem of labor supply"-- |

In this comprehensive history of the rise and fall of the RAC, William A. Pettigrew grounds the transatlantic slave trade in politics, not economic forces, analyzing the ideological arguments of the RAC and its opponents in Parliament and in public debate. Ultimately, Pettigrew powerfully reasons that freedom became the rallying cry for those who wished to participate in the slave trade and therefore bolstered the expansion of the largest intercontinental forced migration in history. Unlike previous histories of the RAC, Pettigrew's study pursues the Company's story beyond the trade's complete deregulation in 1712 to its demise in 1752. Opening the trade led to its escalation, which provided a reliable supply of enslaved Africans to the mainland American colonies, thus playing a critical part in entrenching African slavery as the colonies' preferred solution to the American problem of labor supply"-- Royal African Company History Royal African Company (DE-588)3017322-X gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1700-1800 Geschichte 1600-1700 Geschichte gnd rswk-swf SOCIAL SCIENCE / Slavery bisacsh HISTORY / United States / Colonial Period (1600-1775) bisacsh HISTORY / Europe / Great Britain bisacsh POLITICAL SCIENCE / Public Policy / Cultural Policy bisacsh SOCIAL SCIENCE / Anthropology / Cultural bisacsh SOCIAL SCIENCE / Popular Culture bisacsh Geschichte Politik Recht Sklaverei Slavery Law and legislation Great Britain History Slave trade West Indies, British History Slave trade Africa History Slave trade Political aspects Great Britain History 18th century Slave trade Political aspects Great Britain History 17th century Sklavenhandel (DE-588)4198287-3 gnd rswk-swf Afrika Europa Großbritannien USA Westafrika (DE-588)4079203-1 gnd rswk-swf Westindien (DE-588)4079228-6 gnd rswk-swf Royal African Company (DE-588)3017322-X b Westafrika (DE-588)4079203-1 g Westindien (DE-588)4079228-6 g Sklavenhandel (DE-588)4198287-3 s Geschichte z 1\p DE-604 Omohundro Institute of Early American History & Culture Sonstige oth 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
