Collins aims to provide an accurate portrayal of this complex subject through comprehensive research and extensive use of primary sources. At the start of the book, Collins sets the stage by discussing the historical background of the slave trade, tracing its roots from the European involvement in the African slave trade to its evolution into domestic trade within the United States.
