Using Periplus Maris Erythraie in the classroom Slavery - American Slavery Debate in the Context of Atlantic History, 1770-1865. (Annotated primary source collection produced by teacher Andrew Hammann during ORIAS residency 2010.) The American slavery debate occurred during a time of increasing connections among the continents and islands of the Atlantic Ocean: an area that includes Europe, the Caribbean, Central and South America and Africa. As such, it is useful and illuminating for historians to consider the ways in which contemporary individuals, events and trends of the Atlantic region influenced this contentious and long-running dialogue. It is important to note that the website excludes a related and important research path: the reciprocal effect of the American slavery debate on the course of Atlantic history. The American Slavery Debate website is intended to faciliate primary source research and support the development of new scholarship in the fields of American History and Atlantic History.
