The Atlantic Slave Trade
Colonial Latin America
Chapter Menu
How are the Americas linked to Africa?
The demand for enslaved Africans increased dramatically after Europeans began to settle in the Americas. The Cape Coast Castle in Ghana is one of the forts where enslaved Africans were held until ships arrived to take them to the Americas. This fort could hold about 1,500 slaves usually locked in dark, crowded dungeons for many weeks. Today, the Cape Coast Castle contains a museum that allows people to learn about slavery. In this chapter you will learn about the exploration of new lands and its global impact.
• Why might people want to visit the Cape Coast Castle?
• Does slavery occur in any parts of the world today?
