Unspoken Request
The silhouetted forms huddled close together in the gathering twilight. A light fog rippled about their ankles as they shuffled around trying to get warm. Among the fog were their stories; each individual's soul with one another entwining, yet never intersecting.

The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade I’m sure we’re all familiar with the major features of the Trans-Atlantic slave trade: European merchant vessels exchanged manufactured and processed goods for human cargo along the western coasts of Africa. These persons were then sold as laborers to large-scale agricultural producers in South America, Southeastern North America, and the Caribbean in exchange for cash crops, which could then be resold in New England in exchange for the manufactured and processed goods needed to purchase yet more slaves. This is an oversimplified version of a classic ‘triangle trade’, but provides a good general overview of the concept, widely accepted by academics and historians.

But then, every talent scout east of the Mississippi came to Dearborn when Carly Schweinger decided to dance.
