	If I accidentally missed any or made some mistake, tell me.

	Source? Interesting idea but in practice it's more "Name every country in the Western Hemisphere, or on the west coast of Africa, or that was involved in Atlantic exploration."

	It could possible be improved by categorizing the nations by their role in the trading.

	Accept DRC for Democratic Republic of Congo.

	I don't get it. Some of these countries did not come into existence until after the slave trade was universally abolished. Do you mean current countries that were once part of countries that were involved in the slave trade?

	phibbyfan:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 19:53 GMT		2 points
	@waterjoe: If you had read the directions, it says, "Please enter current country names." What is unclear about that?

	@thedpr: This site only permits one source, and I used many to check and confirm (I see they didn't show up. I used Wikipedia, some book sources, and other websites for confirmation on specific areas/countries). If there are any that you dispute, then by all means, write it/them here. As for your second comment, I can't change history. All of those countries were involved in the slave trade in some way...

	@cuendillar: I've been thinking of various ways to improve this quiz, so I'll take your suggestion into consideration! Thanks!

	shakescene:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 22:10 GMT		1 point
	I spelled out Democratic Republic of the Congo correctly but you've added a c to Democractic. How about South Africa (Cape Colony, etc.)?

	Stewart:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 23:45 GMT		1 point
	All the "0"s would seem to imply that many of these countries have yet to abolish slavery.

	phibbyfan:	Feb 10th, 2010 at 23:51 GMT		2 points
	The DRoC has been corrected (and DRC/DROC are now accepted). Adding the years is tricky, because there is not much info on some places and many have enacted several "abolitions".

	phibbyfan:	Feb 11th, 2010 at 00:08 GMT		1 point
	***All of these nations have officially abolished slavery. Missing years only indicate that I have not yet found data giving the actual year of abolishment for a specific nation. Some nations have officially "abolished" slavery more than once, and years only indicate official ending of slavery. They do not indicate (necessarily) an end to slavery practices.

	@shakescene: Interestingly South Africa is not mentioned as part of the Atlantic Slave Trade (in basically every source I can find). It may be because the slaves taken to South Africa came from East Africa and Asia...

	@phibbyfan: First, thanks for making the quiz. I think it was pretty well done, too. It is difficult to make quizzes for things like Atlantic Slavery because it is too complex a thing to simplify for sporcle. Either for research/data for this quiz or for your general interest, you might want to look at this website: http://www.slavevoyages.org/tast/index.faces It is set up primarily by David Elkins, a professor at Emory. It is to my knowledge the most complete database of the slave trade in existence anywhere.

	Accept Rep Congo and St Vincent. Might want to add abolition in Canada started in 1793. And congratulations, Mauritania, at doing without slavery for thirty years.

	@carbon_rod: Rep Congo and St Vincent are now accepted, and I've added the Canada info, since I think the added info makes the quiz more interesting!
