Slave Trade: An Economic Cause - Essay

Finally!  Here is my latest essay.  Here are the details:

Was the cause of the Atlantic slave trade based on cultural beliefs or economic gain?  We were given this question and a book, The Atlantic Slave Trade, edited by David Northrup.  We were told to answer that question in the form of a 7-9 page essay. Obviously this essay is only based on a very small sample of an abundance of work on the topic, so consider this my initial interpretation to a very large, and complicated matter.

Interpreting the Atlantic Slave Trade

Looks like this is the topic for module two of my Historical Interpretation class.  The book for this section is The Atlantic Slave Trade, edited by David Northrup.  Looks like I don't have a paper due for a few weeks either.  I'm kind of looking forward to the break.  I say break, but of course there's still work.  However, reading and then having good class discussions is hardly work.  Adios for now... Still recovering from my fantasy football draft last night...

The Art of History - Essay

This is the first essay I've written at Bachelor University (see key at bottom of page).  I'm not to happy with this essay; it was tough for me to grasp this concept and condense it down into 3-4 pages.  Admittedly, my patience ran thin and so did time.  I hope Historical Interpretation Professor is a lenient grader!!
