N2 - The culmination of slavery was reached only after the abolition of the transatlantic slave trade after 1807 and 1836, as exemplified by Brazil, Cuba, and the Confederate states. Since the studies of David Brion Davis, one of the most influential historians of slavery and the abolition movement in the Atlantic world, research on this topic has increased from the points of view of history, social sciences, anthropology, economics, and literary studies. Until the abolition of the slave trade in the Atlantic through British legislation in 1807, English traders were mostly responsible for the enslavement of Africans and their transportation in inhuman conditions to the Americas. Comparative debates about slavery in the Americas and transcultural studies have since been extended to Africa. For historians of Africa with an Atlantic perspective, the emphasis is less on the transformation processes that took place under slavery, but more on the continuities of African cultures and traditions in the two Americas.
