No one present at the battle of Cape Lopez off the coast of West Africa in 1722 could have known that they were on the edge of history.
This obscure, yet fierce naval battle, would have a monumental impact on British colonies and the future of slavery in America
We will have the honor to be speaking with historian Dr. Angela Sutton, who outlines the complex network of trade routes spanning the Atlantic Ocean trafficked by agents of empire, private merchants, and brutal pirates alike.
Drawing from a wide range of primary historical sources, Dr. Sutton offers a new perspective on how a single battle that played a pivotal role in reshaping the trade of enslaved people in ways that affect America to this day.
