There are many ways to study a topic and just as many ways to profit from information.
Literally, there were lots of profiteering in the economics of the transatlantic african slave trade.
Everything on and about the enslaved individual(s) including enslaved families was used for
economic gain .There did exist many printed versions of "social media" of the day that extended the
'slavery memorabilia,personal artifacts & collectibles' into the slave owner's and the slavery
industry marketplace. Money was also made from slavery abolitionists' papers & sentiment. Bank notes from several US states' banks appeared to be prized possessions with investment potential. While today's
2018 transatlantic 'Human trafficking (of sex slaves) profiteering reportedly approximates some 90 billion dollars today',such sexual abuses against early legalized US slaves also generated considerable money
and untold physical,psychological, genetic and spiritual traumas for the legalized slaves and their descendants.
