Harmful Silica Fibres and Slave Demography
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 22 June 2011
Extract
The demography of the free and forced migrations to the New World was dramatically different. Between 1500 and 1800 about three million Europeans migrated to the New World resulting in a resident population of about 13.5 million ex-Europeans around 1800. During the same three centuries about nine million African slaves were brought to the New World resulting in a population of only six million ex-Africans.
