| Zusammenfassung: | "No one present at the Battle of Cape Lopez off the coast of West Africa in 1722 could have known that they were on the edge of history. This obscure yet fierce naval battle would have a monumental impact on British colonies and the future of slavery in America. Pirates of the Slave Trade follows three fascinating figures whose fates would violently converge: John Conny, a charismatic leader of the Akan people who made lucrative deals with pirates and smugglers while fending off British and Dutch slavers; the infamous pirate Black Bart, who worked his way from an anonymous navigator to one of the British Empire's most notorious enemies in the region; and naval captain Chaloner Ogle, tasked by the Crown with hunting down and killing Black Bart at all costs. At the Battle of Cape Lopez, these three men and the massive historical forces at their backs would finally find each other--and the world would be transformed forever. In this landmark narrative history, historian Angela Sutton outlines the complex network of trade routes spanning the Atlantic Ocean trafficked by agents of empire, private merchants, and brutal pirates alike. Drawing from a wide range of primary historical sources, Suttonoffers a new perspective on how a single battle played a pivotal role in reshaping the trade of enslaved people in ways that affect America to this day. Between its engaging narrative style filled with swashbuckling naval battles and tales of adventure at sea, its wide array of rigorous and detailed research, and its implications toward modern America, Pirates of the Slave Trade is an essential addition to every history reader's shelves." -- Amazon |

Reverse-engineering the slave society "No one present at the Battle of Cape Lopez off the coast of West Africa in 1722 could have known that they were on the edge of history. This obscure yet fierce naval battle would have a monumental impact on British colonies and the future of slavery in America. Pirates of the Slave Trade follows three fascinating figures whose fates would violently converge: John Conny, a charismatic leader of the Akan people who made lucrative deals with pirates and smugglers while fending off British and Dutch slavers; the infamous pirate Black Bart, who worked his way from an anonymous navigator to one of the British Empire's most notorious enemies in the region; and naval captain Chaloner Ogle, tasked by the Crown with hunting down and killing Black Bart at all costs. At the Battle of Cape Lopez, these three men and the massive historical forces at their backs would finally find each other--and the world would be transformed forever. In this landmark narrative history, historian Angela Sutton outlines the complex network of trade routes spanning the Atlantic Ocean trafficked by agents of empire, private merchants, and brutal pirates alike. Drawing from a wide range of primary historical sources, Suttonoffers a new perspective on how a single battle played a pivotal role in reshaping the trade of enslaved people in ways that affect America to this day. Between its engaging narrative style filled with swashbuckling naval battles and tales of adventure at sea, its wide array of rigorous and detailed research, and its implications toward modern America, Pirates of the Slave Trade is an essential addition to every history reader's shelves." -- Amazon Ogle, Chaloner 1681-1750 (DE-588)1019746173 gnd rswk-swf Roberts, Bartholomew 1682-1722 (DE-588)138763496 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte gnd rswk-swf Sklavenhandel (DE-588)4198287-3 gnd rswk-swf Seeschlacht (DE-588)4136025-4 gnd rswk-swf Westafrika (DE-588)4079203-1 gnd rswk-swf Atlantischer Ozean (DE-588)4003388-0 gnd rswk-swf Ogle, Chaloner / Sir / 1681?-1750 / https://isni.org/isni/0000000385561562 Roberts, Bartholomew / 1682?-1722 / https://isni.org/isni/0000000066858772 Conny, John / 165?- Royal Fortune (Frigate) Pirates / Africa, West / History / 18th century Cape Lopez, Battle of, Gabon, 1722 Slave trade / Africa, West / History Slave trade / Great Britain / History / 18th century Slave trade / Africa, West / History / 18th century Africa, West / History / 18th century Pirates / Afrique occidentale / Histoire / 18e siècle Traite des esclaves / Afrique occidentale / Histoire Traite des esclaves / Grande-Bretagne / Histoire / 18e siècle Traite des esclaves / Afrique occidentale / Histoire / 18e siècle Afrique occidentale / Histoire / 18e siècle Ogle, Chaloner / Sir / 1681?-1750 / https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJdgTtVpY6BP7dPTC3Tyh3 Roberts, Bartholomew / 1682?-1722 / https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJvMBFG8vbHWgPpB7gDcyd Pirates Slave trade Gabon / https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJqFMWytWyb6DR3MjDPWjC Great Britain / https://id.oclc.org/worldcat/entity/E39PBJdmp7p3cx8hpmJ8HvmTpP West Africa 1700-1799 History Informational works Documents d'information Ogle, Chaloner 1681-1750 (DE-588)1019746173 p Roberts, Bartholomew 1682-1722 (DE-588)138763496 p Westafrika (DE-588)4079203-1 g Atlantischer Ozean (DE-588)4003388-0 g Seeschlacht (DE-588)4136025-4 s Sklavenhandel (DE-588)4198287-3 s Geschichte z DE-604 Erscheint auch als Online-Ausgabe 9781633888456 |
