It relates to the book Underground Railroad because it has the aspect of trading people of color without their consent, using them for the own profit of the colonists which is to build America. The maps showed the number of people of color that were trading within the years. It does not show exactly where they took them from but the description below the video says it. The amount of enslaved Africans that were forced to migrate to new lands was very vast and what shocked the most is the amount that died in the transatlantic trade. Can not say who of them is luckier, those who died before arriving at the new lands, or those who survived that trade. The huge between those who were sent to North America and to Central and South America shows its effect when you read the book Underground Railroad.
