'The transatlantic slave trade, colonial domination and the ‘scramble for Africa’ all had a profound impact on the continent’s economic, political, social and cultural structures. But what is their legacy today? In the latest issue of BBC World Histories magazine, six historians share their opinions on how Africa’s past has shaped what are often arbitrarily designated modern nations ...'

I've used this website's resource bank for the past 4 years. It has an excellent perspective that really can supplement where your average American history textbook falls short. The primary sources here can give a great account of the history of Africans in America and side step the white male bias. Via Luke Walker

In the nineteenth century, politicians cultivated their own party’s newspapers, both the owners and the editors, shared staff with them, released news to them early or exclusively to keep them loyal, rewarded them with state or federal appointments when they won.

By 1750, Rhode Island had become a major trade center. Much of the colony's commercial success was due to its ability to add value to imported raw materials and turn the new products into exports. For example, cacao, sugarcane, and molasses from the Caribbean region were made into chocolate, sugar, and rum. Much wealth was also gained from exporting slaves imported from Africa.
National Geographic has placed many colonial maps online that highlight the local economic geographies that where driving expansion and the colonial enterprises. Many of these maps are gathered on National Geographic's pinterest page.
This is very relevant to the DeWolf family from Bristol, Rhode Island. The history of this family and city of Bristol is a major focus of the documentary Traces of the Trade. Check out the maps and ideas behind the regional history! Via Seth Dixon, Luke Walker
