The Atlantic Slave Trade: Demographic Simulation

The site provides students with an interactive lesson in the forced migration of Africans to the New World. The site provides information on the slave trade, which is compared with data on normal human patterns of birth, death, and migration. The simulation does require some knowledge of demographic terms to get the full benefit. However, a novice could read through the characteristics of the simulation, the Historical Example, and run the simulation using packaged sets of data files. The more experienced visitor may set different parameters for the simulation by using individual data files.
