The Atlantic Slave Trade

It influenced the Atlantic world by labor, pastoral production, trade, and increased the production of cash crop. In document In document one it is referring to the depopulation of America due to the great dying which killed approximately 21 million people. In document 2 a secondary source document is states, "Sugar production was hard , year - round work and sometimes around the clock...required a large amount of carefully coordinated work under misery This shows that the slaves were always hard working and were require to do all the miserable hard work"This Information is relevant to my claim because it shows how the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade affected the economic system, because it shows the labor system and how they would be treating slaves like property instead of humans. Document 5 shows that as slave population grew or increased the amount of sugar increased. The reason for that is because their are more slaves to do the work, which result into more sugar.

Through history we can see how “slavery began, the factors that made it both possible and economically valuable to the European trading states, and the products produced by the slaves.” Slavery in South/Central America began with the natives doing much labor for those such as the Spanish. Planting, and tending to the crops the Spanish wished to trade. With much of the South and North Americans died out due to diseases, the U.S decided it was time to search out for a new mass number of slaves. They

William’s main argument in this book is that the rise of industrial capitalism in Europe would not have been possible without the profits derived from African slave labor. Williams does an exceptional job of demonstrating how slavery transformed England into an economic superpower. This book illustrates the economic aspects of the slave trade as it addresses who benefited from it, how it contributed to the formation of capitalism. When referencing the book by Eric Williams, “Capitalism and Slavery” the origin of Negro slavery is something in history that is disputed and misconstrued. According to William’s book slavery was caused by numerous economic

The enslaved Africans were viewed as property, meaning they could be sold and shipped off across the sea for work and labor. The Transatlantic slave trade expanded despite the consequences for the enslaved africans because of economic success, transportation of new goods to new places, and

The exploration and settling of the New World by European powers was a long process that tried to incorporate a very large area. African slaves provided labor for this expansion alongside of white laborers who had come to the new world as indentured servants, lured by the offered transit of the Atlantic in return for many years of their labor to European investors. North American slavery evolved differently in each region throughout the centuries, but a unified vision of slavery as the harshest of existence with the constant dangers of disease, violence and death from starvation emerges from the collective histories of American slavery, but were listed as servants in census in1623 alongside whites that were also unfree. 70 to 80% of whites

They never knew much about the new land they were headed to. Even after arriving in the Europeans’ plantations, they could hardly bear with the totally new place and people. Some slaves developed illness and died on the way to America or shortly after landing due to the immense psychological

In the Atlantic World, African slave trade was introduced by the demand for cheap labor and provoked the horrible cruelties of slave trade. Around 1500, European colonists began to use enslaved Africans for the sugar plantations and tobacco farms because they needed a large number of workers to make them beneficial. The European workers planned on using Native Americans to complete the labor but millions died from disease, warfare, and merciless treatments, therefore, forcing the plantation owners to use enslaved Africans. Although slavery had existed in Africa for centuries, there were a few compelling occurrences that allowed slavery and slave trade to grow rapidly in it’s popularity. ADD THESIS.

This new form of slave trade caused the Atlantic slave trade to occur and it threatened many Africans from being stripped away from their homes. It is estimated that they bought 18 million people as slaves and transported them from Africa to other countries. The Atlantic Slave Trade was a reason for the decline of Africa. On the other hand while Egypt also had lower classes it didn 't matter.

Edmund Burke once said, “Slavery is a weed that grows on every soil.” During the years of 1450-1860 slavery was the only way of life for many African-Americans. This time was known as the Transatlantic Slave Trade. Millions of African-Americans were transported as slaves across the Middle Passage. During the time of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, African women were seen as something of little value compared to other slaves

By owning a slave, the owners were not only getting a permanent worker, they were legally entitled to their offspring as well. African slavery took place in North America because it was the most economically viable solution to southern plantation owners ' labor needs. The slave owners in America used slavery by forcing people to work for them because that was the only way of thinking that life would be easier for them but slavery was never the right way to get the best productivity or outcome from

If racial prejudice followed the economic decision to have slavery then racial prejudice can be viewed as a “historical accident.” It was only a matter of the specific time and place that Africans were enslaved and racism did not always exist. In this case, prejudice can be thought of as being “undone” because we were not inherently racist. Until slavery, racism was simply an ideology. The need for labor and indentured servants could only work for a limited amount of time.

The wealth they created mostly returned to Britain, the products they made were consumed in Britain. African slavery was considered “essential” to the sugar producing system. There created two major triangles of trade, which connected nations of the world Britain, Africa, West Indies and the New World. One important feature of these triangles is human cargoes. The documentary on Big Sugar by Brian McKenna supports Mintz’s ideas by revealing the dark side of working on the plantations, and the terrible working conditions that the labors (or slaves) back then had to suffer.

Sickness was a great cause of this also. The Native population suffered greatly when the Spanish arrived. Forced hard labor, starvation and sickness caused large numbers of deaths. The Natives were not immune to the many illnesses and diseases

I would say, “They were Arabian, European, and Africans.” The most incredible thing from this video stuck in my mind is that some of the Africans were part of trading their countrymen, and benefit from slave trade at that time. Black people were involved in capturing their countrymen and selling them to the slave market. When English decided to abolish the slavery, some African chief actually against it in public, because they were making profit on slave trade. In that salve system, one of the basic rules is that Europeans were only in charge of transportation.
