By: Buell, Gwendolyn

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. This book explores the connections between sugarcane, rum, molasses and falernum in relation to the slave trade. It takes a look at the trade routes and the impact of slavery on the Caribbean, as well as the involvement of the Arab Agricultural Revolution in perpetuating the sugar slave trade. It then looks at the combined involvement of cotton in the United States slave trade, especially in Texas.
