The Dutch and the Slave Trade A Dark Chapter

4 min•1 maj 2026

In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the Netherlands' involvement in the transatlantic slave trade, focusing on the role of the Dutch West India Company (WIC) and the port of Rotterdam. They explore how the Dutch became major players in the trade of enslaved Africans, the conditions on slave ships, and the economic impact on Dutch cities. The episode also touches on the abolition movement, the role of the Dutch state, and the legacy of this history in modern Netherlands. Specific topics include the 'driehoekshandel' (triangular trade), the fortress of Elmina, the 'Middle Passage', and the figures of Johannes van der Waeyen and the abolitionist society 'Pro Excolendo Jure Christiano'. The conversation highlights the contrast between Dutch prosperity and the human cost of slavery.
