In reference to the “Atlantic World,” as mentioned by many scholars, the region was in use more frequently than usual. Most scholars argue that the Atlantic Ocean became a common ground to most ethnicity because the vast Indian Ocean which encompasses at least four different cultural groups had been shaped into a mutual geographic space where people would meet to buy and exchange goods especially from the Persian Gulf to the coast of Japan.The difference in class of people encouraged business transactions with the major good of exchange being humans. Human trafficking became a lucrative business that brought people together to initiate the Atlantic Slave trade that existed for a better part of the century. The interest of people in the slavery as an institution and the Atlantic Slave Trade enhanced communication among people of different ethnicities through the Atlantic Ocean.
Green (1990) illustrates that early modernization by ancient modern scholars was mainly stimulated by a wide academic interest in an act they described as ‘cultural encounters.’ With this stimulation at hand, they were then stimulated to go through with the process of colonization. The literature was mainly concerned with the past but it came to be ahistorical in that it came to originate from an assumption that what could be documented in relation to the relationships between European colonialist and Australians and Africans during the 19th century had held true.
The criticisms being formulated demand that the colonization history be reformulated in the Atlantic concept. This means that what is recommended now will have a completely new subject although it will have been originated from the original subject of exploration history. The more reassessment of the information presented are done, the more the readers come to see that the older generation scholars were not as naïve as they were sometimes presented.
