A stunning behind-the-curtain look into the last years of the illegal transatlantic slave trade in the United States0 Long after the transatlantic slave trade was officially outlawed in the early nineteenth century by every major slave trading nation, merchants based in the United States were still sending hundreds of illegal slave ships from American ports to the African coast.
