Eye opening piece of history!

The author did an amazing job in putting their research and knowledge into this audiobook. I found it really informative and learnt many lessons from the untold history of the transatlantic slave trade which I never knew existed. The audiobook discusses the need for slaves in America, and the profit and longterm affects of the slave trade. Highly recommended listen for anyone want to be aware of the untold history we aren’t taught!!
