Interesting information in this quiz, but it is a little challenging because of the different scale of some of the responses - sometimes you want a country, sometimes a city, sometimes a region. You have clearly made a good effort to manage that by allowing for alternative answers but it still is a barrier.

You are right, I agree with you. I tried to massage the data in such a way that it would be fair and accurate but still accessible. It is tricky. There are serious problems with defining spaces. I think, and hope, however that at least four of the five columns are relatively straightforward. I will make some slight adjustments as I can. The data is still pretty raw. It has taken dozens of years and dozens of researchers going over individual records of each voyage just to get to this point. There remains the problem still of including the intercolonial slave trade, which was huge, particularly to British North America. That is one of many challenges with this area of history.
