Who should we really be talking about regarding the Slave Trade?

This will be short and sweet. I am asking those of you who conduct African and African American slave research a couple of questions.

Question 1: Is there a country that did not involved themselves in the slave trade?

Question 2: Should our conversations really be about the Dutch?

On my ride home I tuned in to one of my favorite podcasts, which is Ben Franklin’s World. I knew a bit about the Dutch and their involvement, but not as much as I really should know. Check this one out: http://www.benfranklinsworld.com/episode-121-wim-klooster-dutch-moment-17th-century-atlantic-world/

This will probably be my next book purchase by Wim Klooster, who is a Professor at Clark University:
