FEEFHS MAP ROOM - Background And MAP INDEX A map of Switzerland is not planned since a detailed road map is availablefor Switzerland from any AAA (american Auto Club) office in America. http://feefhs.org/maps/indexmap.html
Extractions: 1. The FEEFHS East European Map Room has a 51 map collection from the Comprehensive Atlas and Geography of the World (published by Blackie and Sons in 1882 in Edinburgh, Scotland) cover almost all of central and eastern Europe, including all of the German Empire and the Russian Empire. This includes European Russia (east to the Urals) and trans-Ural Asian Russia (Siberia and the Pacific). A map of Switzerland is not planned since a detailed road map is available for Switzerland from any AAA (American Auto Club) office in America. 2. Poland: One map is posted. We are still actively looking for a really good map of 19th century Central Poland. Poland did not exist as a nation for about 126 years prior to the end of World War I. However the Austrian, German and Russian partitions of Poland are shown as parts of their respective Empires on the maps in this Map Rooom. We came up with a map of the Polish provinces of the Russian Empire (i.e. the Russian partition of Poland) - see the index below).

Africans In America| Part 1 | Narrative Numerous articles tracing the origins of american slavery from the European incursion into Africa to mid 18th century America, maps, timelines, illustrations. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/aia/part1/narrative_txt.html
Extractions: Introduction The years 1450-1750 brought enormous changes to the North American continent. The native Americans, or Indians, as the Europeans came to call them, first encountered European explorers, and before long, saw their world transformed and largely destroyed by European settlers. And European explorers not only ventured to the lands and natural wealth of the Americas; they also traveled to Africa, where they began a trans-Atlantic slave trade that would bring millions of Africans to the Americas as well. This slave trade would over time lead to a new social and economic system: one where the color of one's skin could determine whether he or she might live as a free citizen or be enslaved for life.
