Slave ship or slave ship were the denominations of the ships dedicated to the black slave trade, especially those of the Atlantic slave trade between Africa and America, as part of the triangular trade, called in English middle passage. Some twenty million African slaves were transported by these boats.

The Atlantic slave trade became a big business with the colonization of America, which demanded slave labor for the plantations. The seventeenth and eighteenth centuries marked the highest level of this traffic.

In most cases the captains of these ships received conceptions of the lands of the new colonies.

DerKrebs [107]

During the 1920s and 1930s, the U.S. pursued a policy of isolationism, similar to the time prior to World War I.

United States followed an isolationist policy in the 1920s and 1930s because during the 1930s, the combination of the Great Depression and the memory of tragic losses in World War I contributed to pushing American public opinion and policy toward isolationism.

The isolationism advocated non-involvement in European and Asian conflicts and non-entanglement in international politics. There were some measures taken by U.S. to avoid political and military conflicts across the oceans.

Hence, the leaders of the isolationist movement drew upon history to bolster their position.
