Hello and welcome to African Elements. In this episode, The African American Frontier:
Africa and the Atlantic World. In part 1 of the series on the African American frontier, we
examine the significance of Africans on the American frontier focusing in the Atlantic
Slave Trade. We'll start by defining (or redefining) the meaning of the frontier, and we
will see a firsthand account of the middle passage. Lastly, we look at the impact of the Middle
Passage on both sides of the Atlantic. How did the meeting of east and west transform the
African continent? What impact did American frontier have on Africans who were transported
there? All that coming up next.
