Select map” also allows the user to choose the time period of the map. What is the nature of choices offered here?
First, the user can choose between maps that show only geophysical features for all periods and maps that provide as background boundaries of states and colonies at three points in historical time: around 1650 (1501-1641), 1750 (1642-1807), and 1850 (1808-1867). The dates correspond roughly to three eras in the history of the slave trade: Spanish and Portuguese domination, the apogee of slave trading with the dominance of northern European powers, and the period of its abolition and suppression.
