The book The Atlantic Slave Trade was written by Philip D. Curtin and is an explanation of how the Slave craft started and what it was before it was fully developed. He also asks questions about whether slaves were actually needed to make the Colonies clear and grow. He goes into over oft measures prudence about the pre-Atlantic Slave Trade and how the Africans themselves bought slaves.

He does explain later in the book (very well I think) how he thinks the Colonies could have progressed just as well without slave labor, but also agrees with the facts that to patterned advance so rapidly the Colonies did indeed need a good labor force. The author provides abundant evidence to his arguments in the form of others...If you want to get a full essay, order it on our website: Ordercustompaper.com
