Introduction

I have created this blog as an assignment requirement for my history class at Butte College. During this semester we must "attempt to identify the owners of the slave ships that transported millions of Africans across the Atlantic selling them into slavery". In the process I hope to figure out who were the companies, corporations, and individuals that traded humans. I am going to guess that many of the names that became wealthy from the slave trade may sound familiar and are still around today amongst many cooperations and wealthy individuals.
