HIS 1522G - World History: Slavery and Freedom.


(3-0-3) F, S. Between 1520 and 1870, some 11 million Africans were transported to the Americas, largely on European ships, to serve as slaves. What is slavery? How did this horrible “human traffic” occur? And what was the experience of life on a slave plantation? This course will look at practices of slavery from across the globe. This course is for non-history majors. History majors and Social Science majors are excluded from this course; on-campus students are excluded from on-line versions of the course. Equivalent Courses: HIS 1598G.
