(Use the timestamps to find what you need) In this video, Mr. Liddle explores the creation of the African Diaspora in the Americas, which includes a look at the pre-Atlantic Trade diaspora, its origins in the need for labor, and the cultural, ecological, and social impact of the diaspora. This also includes slave and maroon society resistance, the introduction of foods brought by African enslaved persons, and the impact on family structures (demographics) in Africa.

This topic is very broad and this is a short introduction. The information presented here is aligned with AP World History: Modern course description covering Topics 3.3, 4.3, 4.4, 4.5 and is designed to reflect or expand upon Chapter 25 of the textbook Traditions and Encounters 4th edition or newer.
