INSUFFICIENT LEANING

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Racist ideology caused the creation of the transatlantic slave trade?

Unclear. The retrieved items do not directly settle whether racist ideology caused the creation of the transatlantic slave trade. One source indicates racist ideas are necessary but not sufficient to explain transatlantic slavery, and another describes racist ideology shaping colonial society after the trade was underway, so the evidence only partially bears on the claim.
