Make a graph visualizing slave trading throughout American history?

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?

Also if anyone has any suggestions on how to make my project cooler it would be greatly appreciated :slight_smile:

Hi Denis,

There is some data and examples in the Wolfram Data Repository.

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

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.

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

Thank you!

Ok :slight_smile:
