that the heart of this book but to really look at you who was communicating with him across the atlanticeople on both sides are talking about a product so school is communicating with whom and what are the boundaries so what i found is that it has channeled through those institutional mechanisms through private societies with a whole host of other voluntary organizations handling money back and forth communicating back-and-forth but the other piece of that is they are emphasizing places inside the empire. i expected i would find communications is not british protestants and then some communication to say german protestants are scandinavian. there is a little dead of that but the vast majority is channeled within the structure of the empire. so built around the empire , that emphasizes how much politics is determining the shape of what is going on. host: i'm curious of the political aspect what occurred to me the british government hits hard towards the empire especially with a seven-year war and they don't have to worry about the threat that they see themselves as an empire to trade back

our subject for today is the atlantic slave trade. and the first thing i want to say about it is that we have a big subject, a tremendously important subject, and truly a difficult subject to deal with today. its importance lies in its relationship to the transformation of the world in the early modern era. by that, i mean essentially three things. first, the origins and the rise of capitalism around the atlantic beginning in the late 16th century and continuing thereafter to the present. secondly, the establishment of european dominance around the world. this is another major theme to which the slave trade is connected. and then, finally, we are talking today about one of the very foundations of american history. america is the result of the meeting of three very old cultures. and you might say continents. people from europe, people from west africa, and people from native america. today we are going to talk about one of those three pillars. the african slave trade. now, i want to begin with a quote by a very eminent african-american

but which resulted in this massive movement of humanity across the atlantic. if you want, by the way, that url is slavevoyages.org or go to any particular search engine and type in slave voyages, you'll go there. this is a web site that is free and open to the public, and you can do remarkable things with it. i would urge all of you to think about using it for research purposes. in any case, the latest findings of the transatlantic slave trade data base are that over this 3 1/2 centuries that i have mentioned, somewhere around the 10 to 10 1/2 million people were loaded on to slave ships. and somewhere between 8.8 and 9 million people were delivered alive on the western atlantic. you will note there's a very significant difference between these two numbers, a difference of about 1.4 million. those are the people who died along the way, whose bodies every morning on board a slave ship would be brought up from the lower deck and thrown over the rail to the schools of sharks that would follow the vessels all the way across the atlantic. so now, that's not the end

he's done great work, as a public defender and director of the atlantic center. we will talk about that for a minute. claire, i want to thank you too. i spent many wonderful evenings in the bookstore when i was in cambridge and appreciate this opportunity to talk to mark. as claire just said, 12 essays that mark has written about different aspects of the death penalty, about racism, about the lawyers assigned sometimes to defend people, about the judges who judge these cases other aspects of the book. before we talk about that, mark, i thought maybe i would ask you about your time as a public defender there in philadelphia and a lot of people may not realize how much the death penalty, how often it was [inaudible] at one time, how often it was imposed. the d.a., later the chief justice was there. maybe talk about that for a minute? >> sure, you know, philadelphia's been a hotbed of death penalty activity for decades really, and it started before ron castille. the prosecutor before him was ed rendell later the mayor and governor. after ron castille was abraham, a

ocean, first woman to fly across the atlantic nonstop.n august 1932 she flies nonstop across the united states, rapidly becoming a leading aviator in the united states. after earhart flies nonstop across the united states she sold her plane to the franklin institute and in 1966 entered the smithsonian collection. so the vega becomes the airplane of choice for record-breakers. in 1931, wily post who is oklahoma wildcatter who loses an eye in oil rig accident, he starts to fly and chooses the vega. his characteristic, white and blue, winnie may. he flies around the world with navigator in 1931 in eight days. in 1933 he flies around the world all by himself in seven and half days. and he starts to learn these new phenomenon about the jet stream he gets additional 121 miles an hour from the jet stream. he is flying so high he's experimenting. he is also the first to experiment with the pressure suit. the vega is the choice of aviators who want to push the limits of not only speed and distance but altitude in regards to what this airplane can

and it suggesting before the revolution people on the both sides of the atlantic were british subjects and shared protestant empire. and that had previous kinds of connotations. on the one hand it was a political connotation so there's been a lot of scholarship about people using protestantism as a way to weave a policy together, group people together against catholics so that kind of political version but it also refers to religious institutions though the vast majority of organized religious life took place in the context of protestant institutions. and the dominant denominations across the empire were all transatlantic so they had people on both sides of the atlantic and lots of different places and they communicated with one another and that pulled empire together. so being a british protestant meant being part of a empire that was on both sides of the atlantic that was promoting protestantism and it meant something different than being part of a specific domination denomination. >> you use this lovely metaphor of a scaffolding to describe the experience. in the utah a little bit a

especially with ships involved in the trans-atlantic slave trade. are a lot of ships that have gone missing. there are not a lot of documentation of where those ships are. the process of actually locating these vessels, it really comes down to who's in the water. for years,s the number of african-american archaeologists in this country has remained under one person. that is shifting now. diving with a purpose shifts that. diving with a purpose is a nonprofit organization dedicated to oceana, conservation and preservation of submerged heritage resources pertaining specifically to the african diaspora. >> i began to work with diving with a purpose, because they were documenting our history. to ensure that the truth is told. >> that work of uncovering these histories starts by being in the wa water. it matters who was in the water. >> i started out with diving to connect to my past on a different level. i can't say my lineage to my chi children. like where am i going to tell my children? oh, yeah, we were stolen? what does that do for the identity of s

ter tells her story of flying across the atlantic. and it's in another airplane, the lockheed electra that disappears in 1937. lockheed becomes synonymous with long-distance aircraft. but still it's a wood airplane. it's interesting to see the performance being pushed, which seem said court intuitive in terms of what the airplane is. it's looking towards the future in terms of its shape. if we look at the very dynamic period of inovation, we've seen a lot of airplanes merge, the vega is the first to represent the future and how it's going to become modern in the course of the 1930s. so, the vega, through pilots like amelia earhardt, they've ramped up the spectacle of flight. enthusiasm for the wonderful flights, in terms of flying across oceans, continents, the world. the next airplane, the boeing airplane is an example of a commercial airplane that embodies the new innovations and in this case, carrying passengers in the 1930s. it's one of the first modern airliners and one of the first modern airplanes overall when it's introduced i

looking further ahead, and we have to look at what's happening here across the other side of the atlantic course. that's going to miss the models up and complicate things as we head further afield. now, it does look like the high pressure is going to be pushing away and lower pressure will be heading our way on the atlantic. the details are likely to change because of all the disruption thrown into the atmosphere by all those storm systems on the other side of the atlantic. but there is a theme throughout the weekend, and next weekend and beyond, the weather looks like turning more unsettled with the chance of some rain across more of the country. goodbye.

because the storm clouds have been pulling their way east out into the sea, but if we look in the atlantichave a band of cloud that will bring rain in from the west tomorrow, but today the sun is out across many parts of the sun is out across many parts of the country and we have much drier weather around as well and the winds are quite light and it feels warm as well. not without one or two showers across england and wales, mainly focus to the north—east of england and the bulk of the heavy and developing thundery showers will developing thundery showers will develop in the north—east of scotland and we have more cloud coming in, butahead of scotland and we have more cloud coming in, but ahead of the cloud in the sunshine, temperature is higher today, 20 and the central belt of scotland and 23 is the high across eastern parts of england. still a few sharp showers during the evening and they will push away and then we look at all of the cloud coming in from the atlantic, and here it is overnight, thickening up in the west bringing rain into northern ireland by the end of the night and temp

we'll continue to monitor the atlantic and the gulf of mexico. this is where we typically see development for august and in september we watch the storms that come off the coast of africa and can be quite damaging. henri, ida will be next and julianne and we're very active, historic with all of the named storms. let's talk about the wildfires out west. we have at least 100 of them. that's a lot of problem for the west and the temperatures are going to remain very warm, especially across the southwest and that could lead to more fire danger and then the highs today are going to be very warm. so areas that don't have air conditioning, power out, these are daytime highs but with the humidity it will feel well over 100 degrees. that's a big concern for all of the areas that -- carley: a lot going on. >> we'll continue to monitor it. back to you. carley: seven people are shot dead and 41 injured in another violent weekend of gun violence in chicago. victims range between the ages of 17 to 62. meanwhile, atlanta surpasses a grim milestone, police recor

this time of year the breeding ground is central to east atlantic. all these storms come off of africa. they begin to develop, push west, and who's in the crosshairs? hispaniola, dominican republic, haiti. so robin, they are in hurricane alley. after grace, it is certainly boss that i believe we'll be tracking more systems pushing over in the months to come. >> thanks for that update. tyler mordan there. >>> how you can help the people of haiti suffering in the wake of this earthquake and with possibly more to company, cnn.com/impact is the place you should go. >>> some u.s. children are heading back to school in states where the governors have banned mask mandates, like texas. local leaders are speaking up for them. we'll sell you all about that. >>> israel makes more people eligible for a third vaccine dose as severe cases rise despite its best efforts. we have a live report from jerusalem. f. new zzzquil ultra helps you sleep better and longer when you need it most. it's non habit forming and powered by the makers of nyquil. new zzzquil ultra. whe

we signed an atlantic charter 2.0 to do exactly that. and yet we followed the united states.considered taking the united states out of nato. so, we need to review the decision making at the very, very top and ask ourselves whether it's still 0k to be able to take on challenges, small, workable challenges, such as afghanistan. it's not a complicated solution that you require for the country, but you do need the right one, and it isn'tjust military means alone. we should have learned that from northern ireland. well, you raise an important point about the geopolitical context. this is what the global times in beijing, which pretty reliably reflects the views of the chinese government, this is what it's got in an editorial today. "the us has suffered total humiliation in afghanistan. if it can suffer such catastrophic defeat there, who is going to trust its judgment in east asia or the south china sea?" it's quite clear what the chinese read into what has just happened, isn't it? and that's completely right. i mean, this is the bizarre change, which i don't understand in us fore

tipping points in the system like like as you say, greenland or the amazon or antarctica, or the atlantic circulation. and but 101015 years ago the scientific community was saying what the risk of crossing tipping points was probably much later in the century if we keep on emitting greenhouse gases, that the rates we are. and there was, there was a very low risk of, of crossing tipping points, you know, now, or in the next decade or so. and what we did in that analysis in 2019 was to go back to those 16. so tipping points and actually identify what's happening with the data on the ground right now in those places. and what we found out with 9 of them there undergoing unprecedented changes, you know, the data flooding back from, from greenland, from west antarctic ice sheet from the atlantic, from the boil force from korea. it is showing that they are undergoing unprecedented changes, which we can't say for certain they're going at tipping points right now, but it's certainly assigned for concern. and certainly there's a growing consensus that were much closer to tipping points than we tho

normally you fly across the atlantic on a wide-body.g the a3 one ne-yo -- a320 neo lr. in the winter, with headwinds, is that aircraft going to be pushed pretty hard? robin: the aircraft will be fine. obviously we have a mid heavy cabin. we don't have that many total customers on board because of that. it is going to help keep the airplane light. we don't have any concern about range. when we set this out, we need to make sure that any winter, when you're facing those headwinds, we weren't going to be diverting airplanes for fuel. that is not something we see happening. guy: xlr, would that be a better aircraft? robin: we will use that to push into some other cities in central and southern europe that we can't get to with the lr. guy: what is next for london? robin: london is going to keep us busy for a while. it is a huge premium market, as you know. i think our impact of lowering fares is going to stimulate a lot of demand. we will look at other markets. paris is obviously something of great interest to us. as are some of the regional

this is the wind flow around it, a long sea track coming across the atlantic, picking up the moisturethe cloud, and with that weather front in the picture as well, we have rain and drizzle, wetter weather to start their day in some areas on tuesday, most of which will pull away but still some dampness, particularly in the hills, but we could see brighter skies and may some sunshine in parts of wales and the west country, and may be parts of scotland. under cloud, temperature struggling to 18 or19 cloud, temperature struggling to 18 or 19 celsius. similarfor wednesday, many places dry, not much sunshine, and still quite cool. the breeze does tend to ease a little, and by the time we get to thursday, instead of high pressure in the south—west, we have weather fronts coming in from the atlantic, meaning more cloud and patchy rain running east across southern england, wales, the midlands, towards east anglia. not much rain for the north, drier and may be brighter, still could be some patchy rain in northern parts of scotland, and still only 17—20 c. could be worse, but it could be an awfu

banded the atlantic slave trade. there were not new enslaved people being brought into the country.laves in the u.s. in 1830, there were about 2 million slaves in the u.s. and in 1840, there were 2.5 million. so in the early 1800s, massive numbers of these people were moved south and west and what historians have come to describe as the second middle passage. this is a reference to the main middle passage which we've talked about, the transfer of people across the atlantic ocean in the bottoms of slave ships. 12 million people extracted from africa and transported to the americas. the second middle passage describes this massive movement of enslaved people into cotton-producing territory. between 1800 and 1860, an estimated 1 million people were moved into these territories. this is a contemporary image that is a representation of what was called a coffle. i don't know if you can read that, actually. it's basically the term that was used for a group of enslaved people chained together, forced to walk over long distance. this is a coffle that was being moved from virginia to tennesse

low pressure moving through the mid atlantic and northeast but i can't stress enough, it's going to bring flooding rainfall and the possibility for devastating floods on top of what we've seen last week with henri and then of course tennessee had historic rainfall of over 17 inches last week. this is not going to be a good situation for them. so still dealing with this area of low pressure, this tropical storm in towards mississippi. it's going to lift across portions of the tennessee valley, the ohio valley, the mid-atlantic and northeast and here are the rainfall amounts. so 4 to 6 inches certainly in areas as it is a tropical storm and lists north and eastward and then we're going to see the potential for more heavy rainfall in the areas that have been saturated by the last tropical system, henri, on wednesday and thursday. the tornado risk is going to be ongoing. we've got tornado watch in effect for parts of mississippi, through alabama, the florida panhandle and then we have talked about katrina, a very similar path to katrina but this storm was stronger and as will mentioned, the s

tuesday, wednesday, wednesday even in the northeast, mid-atlantic. we're going to be see some flooding rains from ida. we have alerts in place where you see that red there. baton rouge, new orleans, morgan city, your under hurricane warning. i love what i'll said that a lot of people heeded the warning. because it is too late now. now it sort of wait and see as we see ida and move on shore later this afternoon. tracking it for you, we do expect it to be a category four storm as it makes its way on land. inland later on today. and then it just slows down. when you look at this image here, you see those white lines. those are 12 hour increment. what that tells me is, this is going to slow down. isn't going to be not slow-mo just motion, not so much that we see with other storms. we're going to see flooding rains, torrential rains. remember in tennessee just last weekend we, saw 17 inches of rain in some spots. we're going to see rain on top of that. into the northeast, the mid-atlantic, you see yellow all the way to the right side of your screen. that'

and seeking and finding hundreds of ships and lives lost at see during the trans-atlantic slave trade. stay with us. it begins right now only on cnn. >>> who knows what's really going to happen? >> i don't think that you're going to wake up the next morning and there's going to be chaos. it's going to be a gradual thing where you say holy crap. look at what this world is doing. i'm out here in the middle of nowhere trying to avoid it. if worse comes to worse, i'll lock us in this bunker. we're in a steel bunker with rebar, reinforced, which it was designed for blast. >>> i do this every morning every day. >> the remoteness of the location is both a pro and a con. >> uh-huh. >> it is so quiet and peaceful and the sky is so wonderful, the prairie and the hills are just so wonderful. >> and the flowers. >> and -- yeah. it's just a great place to live. but it's not convenient to live here at all. so we've got one of ours is in high school and we home school her. we had to get the satellite set up. the satellite goes down if the power's not up and i have to make sure the power's up all the

as a consequence, we will definitely see an impact on the temperatures, especially in the north atlanticegions, but there are studies that suggest it might also affect storming us over the northwestern europe continent, especially wintertime, or that could even be too extreme heat waves in the summertime. >> between that and what we have already seen, this year has seen some of the worst natural disasters the world has seen, including wildfires and floods and landslides. is it your belief then that things will continue to get worse before they get better? >> i would definitely say these extreme events are part of our future, because we know that global warming increases the likelihood of many types of extreme events, and we understand why, on the one side because ofhe therm change in the atmosphere, the warmer atmosphere can contain the moisture. but we've also seen changes that can trap weather systems over certain vocations and what would have been just a you hot days turns into dust locations and what wld have just a few hot days turns into a heat wave. we can expect the extreme warm

this is how it's written in the current atlantic.this is a doctor in new york who wrote this -- the best care possible when that oath comes in they are making our job much harder. doctor, how would you express those same sentiments that i assume you agree with wholeheartedly? >> i think that editorial spot, may be a bit kind even. everyone is able to make choices for themselves, i feel like maybe in the cases where you are affecting others, you should actually consider that and maybe those choices should be limited. but remember, if you are going to refuse but every health care expert and physician is telling you to do, and then when you get sick, go to those very experts, we're gonna for one, find that ironic, and you can imagine how demoralizing we find that is. well we're giving you a solution, and by we, i mean the amazing scientists who came up with this miracle who, because you are just not ready to do the appropriate distancing -- that came with this multi billion dollar block poster drug, people will still not take it. people

the center of the storm is passing by us just about now there off the coast out into the atlantic, andhe big problem right now is the wind. not so much the rain but across the region, henri's downpours caused widespread flash flooding in new jersey, nearly 100 motorists who ignored the warnings rescued from vehicles. >> please seek shelter. >> reporter: a huge concert in central park evacuated because of lightning. >> proceed to your vehicles and protected areas. >> reporter: the park drenched by more than 4 inches of rain saturday night now warnings of more high water possible in already soaked inland areas. >> now is not the time to say we're out of harm's way we are not out of harm's way >> reporter: from the tip of new york's furthest point out into the atlantic ocean, the keeper of this lighthouse watching it all unfold it sounds like long island dodged a bullet. >> i think we did. we could have been worse. not to say that it was all that good, but it could have been a lot worse. >> reporter: with henri now moving into massachusetts and expected to reach as far north as new hampsh

as a result, basically the atlantic slave began here because the cuban people were among the first who would be enslaved. he grew up in a family that were slave owner. he became a monk. as he prepared a sermon, he became convicted according to writings that the enslavement of the people was wrong, although culturally cuban people were different and considered barbaric, at least in his eyes, and according to scripture as he read it, they were equal amongst europeans. so he became where he was once an adversary to the cuban people or enslaved people, he then became an advocate, he would start writing to king charles. this is known as history of the destruction of the indians where he was documenting to king charles and appealing to them to release the slavery of the people. eventually they did. this is where they started using africans, bringing blacks from the atlantic and enslaving those people as well. another article which documents what cary talked about, we have the bibles, we know the english europeans came and brought king james bible and geneva bible. but we have a spanish bible

generally, though, we've got this airflow coming in from the north atlantic, and it's moisture—ladeneventually clearing away from the eastern side of england. there will be further patchy rain for northern and western hills, but many places will turn drier, and we could see some sunshine breaking through eastern scotland, eastern england, perhaps across south wales and the southwest. a breezy day to come, those winds quite fresh from the northwest, and temperatures pretty disappointing for mid—august, generally 15—21 degrees in the sunnier spots further south. and we hold onto the cloud and the breeze through tuesday night, as well. most places will be dry, further spots of drizzle, though, across some western hills, especially, especially northern and western scotland. but with all the cloud cover and the breeze, temperatures no lower than around 11—15 degrees. so then, for wednesday, very little change — it looks similar, rather grey and breezy once again, further patchy drizzle across some northern and western hills. but again, with some shelter from the breeze, from the higher gr

on sunday, atlantic magazine's staff writer reflects on the past and future of what he calls trump'srica, in his book. and at p.m. eastern on afterwords, a podcaster discusses his new book, "the authoritarian moment," in which he argues the progressive left is pushing an authoritarian agenda in america. he is interviewed by radio talk show host --. watch american history and book tv, every weekend on c-span2. and find a full schedule in the program guide or visit c-span.org. announcer: on sunday, c-span's series january 6, views from the house, continues. three more members of congress share stories of what they saw, heard and experienced on that day, including new york democrat akeem jeffries. >> we did not really have the highest degree of information, particularly being on the house floor, we did not get to see the images and the realtime footage of of the ongoing assault on the capitol. however, after we arrived in a secure location, we got some understanding of that and could only have imagined how our loved ones were feeling watching it in real time. so it certainly was a great

our subject for today is the atlantic slave trade. the first thing i want to say about it is that we have a big subject, a tremendously important subject, and truly a difficult subject to deal with today. its importance lies in its relationship to the transformation of the world in the early modern era. by that, i mean essentially three things.
