Story of the Negro: Story of the Negro by Arna Bontemps is a children's history book which was a Newbery Honor recipient in 1949.  The non-fiction book begins with a history of major African civilizations such as the Ghana and Mandingo Empires.  The horrors of the Atlantic slave trade are described, together with the causes and conditions of slavery in America, the Haitian Slave Revolt, and the Underground Railroad.  Several influential black leaders are examined, including Frederick Douglass, Harriet Tubman, and W. E. B. Du Bois.  Revised editions of the book extend the history through the late 1960s.

Economy of the Netherlands from 1500-1700: The history of the Dutch economy has faced several ups and downs throughout the 16th and 17th centuries.  It has undergone moments of prosperity and was once noted as one of the most dominant world powers in the 17th Century.  It was heavily involved in the Atlantic Trade that had a large impact on its economy and growth.  There is no clear definition for the Atlantic Trade, but researchers have concluded it may be referred to as: Trade with the New World, and trade with Asia through the Atlantic including, but not limited to, imperialism and slavery based undertakings.  Among the most important of these traders were the Dutch and the British.  It is noted that these two nations experienced a more rapid growth than most due to their non-absolutist political institutions.  This is only one of many benefactors that played a large role in the shaping in the growth and economic change within the Netherlands that occurred throughout the 16th and 17th Centuries.

History of chocolate in Spain: The history of chocolate in Spain is part of the culinary history of Spain as understood since the 16th century, when the colonisation of the Americas began and the cocoa plant was discovered in regions of Mesoamerica, until the present.  After the conquest of Mexico, cocoa as a commodity travelled by boat from the port of Nueva España to the Spanish coast.  The first such voyage to Europe occurred at an unknown date in the 1520s.  However it was only in the 17th century that regular trade began from the port of Veracruz, opening a maritime trade route that would supply the new demand from Spain, and later from other European countries.

Miran (Xinjiang): Miran is an ancient oasis town located on the southern rim of the Taklamakan Desert in Xinjiang, Northwest China.  It lies on the famous trade route known as the Silk Road where the Lop Nur desert meets the Altun Shan mountains.  Two thousand years ago a river flowed down from the mountain and Miran had a sophisticated irrigation system.  Now the area is a sparsely inhabited, dusty region with poor roads and minimal transportation.  Archaeological excavations since the early 20th century have uncovered an extensive Buddhist monastic site that existed between the 2nd to 5th centuries AD, as well as the Miran fort, a Tibetan settlement during the 8th and 9th centuries AD.

Poles in Moldova: The history of Poles in Moldova may be traced to the 14-16th centuries, when the Principality of Moldova was connected to Poland by a trade route and later it was several times briefly a vassal of the Kingdom of Poland.  At these times there was no larger Polish communities in Moldavia.  Only since 18th century there were several waves of political and economic emigration of Poles to Bessarabia, the land which constitutes the majority of modern Moldova.  These include fugitive serfs, march to Bender of the part of the forces of the dethroned Stanisław Leszczyński, defeated insurgents of the Kościuszko Uprising.  Partitions of Poland also contributed to this process.

Muravsky Trail: Muravsky Trail or Murava Route (Russian: Муравский шлях , Ukrainian: Муравський шлях ) was an important trade route and according to the Russian historiography a favourite invasion route of the Crimean Tatars during the Russo-Crimean Wars of the 16th and early 17th centuries.  As described in the Book to the Great Chart of Muscovy (1627), the route went north from the Tatar fortress of Or Qapı (Perekop), the gateway of the Crimean peninsula, east of the Dnieper to the Russian fortress of Tula, 193 km south of Moscow.

History of Basque whaling: The Basques were among the first to catch whales commercially, and dominated the trade for five centuries, spreading to the far corners of the North Atlantic and even reaching the South Atlantic.  The French explorer Samuel de Champlain, when writing about Basque whaling in Terranova (i.e. Newfoundland), described them "as the cleverest men at this fishing".  By the early 17th century, other nations entered the trade in earnest, seeking the Basques as tutors, "for [they] were then the only people who understand whaling", lamented the English explorer Jonas Poole.  Having learned the trade themselves, other nations adopted their techniques and soon dominated the burgeoning industry – often to the exclusion of their former instructors.  Basque whaling peaked in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, but was in decline by the late 17th and early 18th centuries.  By the 19th century, it was moribund as the right whale was nearly extinct and the bowhead whale was decimated.

Supply, North Carolina: Supply is a small unincorporated community in Brunswick County, North Carolina, United States located around the intersection of US 17 (Ocean Highway) and NC 211 (Southport-Supply Road/Green Swamp Road).  Its name is derived from the use of the Lockwoods Folly River as a trade route in the 18th and 19th centuries.  Residents of the nearby beach communities of Holden Beach, Oak Island, Ocean Isle, Caswell Beach, and Sunset Beach often used to commute to Supply for goods and other materials.  This practice is still common, but development in the town of Southport and in the Intracoastal Waterway commercial districts has made traveling to Supply unnecessary.

Saray-Jük: Saray-Jük (Сарай-Жүк) / Sarai-Dzhuk (Сарай-Джук) or Kishi Saray (Кіші Сарай) in the Kazakh language, Saraychyq (Сарайчык) in modern Tatar, and Saray Maly (Russian: Сара́й Ма́лый ) literally "Little Sarai", to distinguish it from Old Sarai, was a medieval city on the border between Europe and Asia.  It was located 50 km north Atyrau on the lower Ural River, near the modern village of Sarayshyq, Atyrau Region, Kazakhstan.  The city lay on an important trade route between Europe and China and flourished between the 10th and 16th centuries.

Atlantic slave trade: The Atlantic slave trade or transatlantic slave trade involved the transportation by slave traders of enslaved African people, mainly from Africa to the Americas, and then their sale there.  The slave trade used mainly the triangular trade route and its Middle Passage, and existed from the 16th to the 19th centuries.  The vast majority of those who were enslaved and transported in the transatlantic slave trade were Africans from central and western Africa, who had been sold by other West Africans to Western European slave traders (with a small number being captured directly by the slave traders in coastal raids), who brought them to the Americas.  The South Atlantic and Caribbean economies especially were dependent on the supply of secure labour for the production of commodity crops, making goods and clothing to sell in Europe.  This was crucial to those western European countries which, in the late 17th and 18th centuries, were vying with each other to create overseas empires.
