guild, or a clan, or is a generic term for

 The slave trade for centuries
had its headquarters in
Venice, until seventeenth
century Britain, the new
master of the seas, used its
control of the oceans to gain a
monopoly. As the American
colonies were settled, its
fiercely independent people,
most of whom did not want
slaves, found to their surprise
that slaves were being sent to
our ports in great numbers
