Make a graph visualizing slave trading throughout American history?

Posted 6 years ago

I want to make a document on american slave trading unfortunately I am not sure how to do this, alpha wont help, African history is blocked or under construction, and I am not very good at using the wolfram language input. Anybody got any ideas?

There is a database available here:

https://www.slavevoyages.org/voyage/database

In theory, you can download the data as a CSV, though it seems rather slow. Once you download as CSV, you can should be able to Import into Wolfram Language as a Dataset. slaveDB=Import[myfile,"Dataset",HeaderLines->1]

From there, you have huge amounts of functionality available, particularly if you can integrate it with geographic information.

When you say “document”, do you mean a Word document? And are you writing an essay?

I am writing a .nb that I will convert to a .pdf to print it out.
