Description:

C18th engraving of Cape Coast Castle on the coast of Ghana, one of about forty “slave castles“, or large commercial forts, built on the Gold Coast of West Africa (now Ghana) by European traders to hold slaves for shipping to the Americas. It was not only Europeans and the English traders that bought slaves but it was also the locals that sold their own people to the Europeans.
