Atlantic Slave Trade Map
This classroom wall map puts the whole system on one sheet: the West African coastline where captives were seized, the Atlantic crossings, and the American and Caribbean ports where the trade ended. Shaded areas carry most of the information, so the map reads clearly from the back row of a lecture hall or a middle school classroom.
- Shaded regions identify the Slave Coast, the Gold Coast, and the Ivory Coast along West Africa
- Slave gathering areas and the major concentrations of enslaved people are marked
- Locations of slave trading forts along the African coast are shown
- Routes followed by slave traders across the Atlantic are traced on the map
- Meets U.S. History curriculum requirements for public, private, parochial, and home schools
Part of the Kappa Map Group Classroom Series. Map Shop offers it laminated, mounted, framed, or on a spring roller with backboard, and multiple history titles can be combined on a single roller system for one wall.
