[PAR] [TLE] Story of the Negro [SEP] Story of the Negro by Arna Bontemps is a children's history book which was a Newbery Honor recipient in 1949.  The non-fiction book begins with a history of major African civilizations such as the Ghana and Mandingo Empires.  The horrors of the Atlantic slave trade are described, together with the causes and conditions of slavery in America, the Haitian Slave Revolt, and the Underground Railroad.  Several influential black leaders are examined, including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and W. E. B. Du Bois.  Revised editions of the book extend the history through the late 1960s. [PAR] [TLE] Atlantic slave trade [SEP] The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of enslaved African people, mainly from Africa to the Americas, and then their sale there.  The slave trade used mainly the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries.  The vast majority of those who were enslaved and transported in the transatlantic slave trade were Africans from central and western Africa, who had been sold by other West Africans to Western European slave traders (with a small number being captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids), who brought them to the Americas.  The South Atlantic and Caribbean economies especially were dependent on the supply of secure labour for the production of commodity crops, making goods and clothing to sell in Europe.  This was crucial to those western European countries which, in the late 17th and 18th centuries, were vying with each other to create overseas empires.
