Module Description

European Expansion History, especially the Bible, generally records that three continents were in direct contact with each other from ancient times – Africa, Asia and Europe – in what I would call “the biblical world.” We have also already seen that both the Greek and Roman Empires straddled the three continents. Egypt was the natural ‘connector’ from the African side. The trade route – the Great Silk Road – is also known to have connected these continents. It was not until the 1400s, that European exploration, expansion and colonization connected virtually the entire globe – the Americas, Africa and Asia (including Australia and New Zealand). Although we will not study European expansion in any depth, suffice it to say that the expansion forms the backdrop of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the subject of this week’s module.

The Institution of Slavery Slavery (in one form or the other), has existed throughout human history. The egalitarianism and classlessness of the hunter-gatherer societies of the prehistoric era (which we studied earlier), ended with the agricultural revolution.
