The African Slave Trade is the harsh movement from Africa to the New World. This began after the fall of Songhai 1590 CE. There were several reasons why the slave trade began. Death of Native Americans led to more demand for slaves. Production of wood, fur, coffee, tobacco, and sugar became reasons European countries rose power. They needed people to work for them to produce these products, SLAVES. They’re cheap and there were high demands for them.

The Transatlantic Slave Trade is one of the most unique historical events because after it occurred the world was changed forever. The way the world interacted, the way minorities were treated, and the establishment of New World powers all developed from the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The Transatlantic Slave Trade lasted somewhere around four centuries, between the middle of the 15th century and the end of the 19th century. During this time period Europeans forcefully migrated men, women, and children from Africa to The Americas. This was referred to as the “middle passage”. It is estimated that somewhere between 12-15 million Africans were taken to the Americas. During the Middle passage it is estimated that 1 in every 5 Africans

Throughout the late 1400’s and the 1500’s, the world experienced many changes due to the discoveries of new lands and peoples that had been never been visited before. The new-found lands of the Americas and exploration of Africa by the Europeans led to new colonies and discoveries in both areas. It also brought different societies and cultures together that had never before communicated, causing conflict in many of these places. While the Europeans treated both the Native Americans and West Africans as inferior people, the early effects they had on the Native Americans were much worse.

The Middle Passage was when African-Americans were brought over to the New World. The African culture would kind of decrease because the slaves would have to drop their culture and pick up the American culture. The population of Africa would decrease because most of the Africans would be brung over to the New World or they would die before reaching shore.

Christopher Columbus was a talented navigator and explorer who sailed in the service of Spain. With his courage and intelligence, he significantly contributed to the world. Christopher was born in 1451 and died at the age of 55 on May 20, 1506. He was born to Domenico Columbus, a wool weaver, and Susanna Fontanarossa. He had three brothers: Bartolomeo, Giovanni Pellegrino, and Giacomo. He also had a sister named Bianchinetta. In those times the son usually took over the father’s job, especially if the business was going well. Columbus was determined to go his own way and be a sailor, even though that disturbed his father momentously. Eventually, his father learned to accept Columbus being a sailor and even used it to his advantage by Columbus sailing his cloth to the market.

In the year 1519, Spain set sail to be the first ones to circumnavigate the globe. Under the leadership of Ferdinand de Magellan, they were able to accomplish this monumental task by the year 1522, even though Magellan died before they journey was complete. In the article titled “Ferdinand Magellan 's Voyage Round the World, 1519-1522”, we are able to recall the accounts transcribed from the paper-book of a Genoese pilot who wrote detailed accounts about the events that transpired throughout the journey. Around 55 years after Spain’s voyage, the English set out to circumnavigate the globe under the leadership of Sir Francis Drake in the year of 1577. An article titled “Sir Francis Drake 's Famous Voyage Round The World, 1580” was written by Francis Pretty, who was one of Drake 's Gentlemen at arms. This article is a description of Sir Francis Drake’s voyage, detailing the specific events that transpired throughout the voyage. Throughout this paper I will be comparing and contrasting these two voyages.
