Benjamin Franklin once said, “Those who deny freedom to others, deserve it not for themselves.” It means to help others, not just yourself. Triangular trade between Africa, the Americas, and Europe existed for several hundred years because the African tribes wanted more and more power, the Europeans were getting paid so much to sell slaves, and they needed workers on the southern plantations.” First, African tribes wanted more power. The African tribes traded the slaves for guns. The African tribes got rich from selling slaves. The African tribes thought slaves were not human so they hurt them. The African tribes were powerful because slaves may have had fewer rights than other villagers. A village that had guns was more threatening to its …show more content…
How does it explain your reasoning?): Next, Southern colonies made their choice to join the triangular trade. Which would give them slaves to work on their plantations for free. It was also hard to resist doing, so many were involved in it. People would often get kidnapped because people would often raid their homes. In section 6 it says,” Traders also sold enslaved people at the auction.” 3rd Body Paragraph plantations section 6 Transition word, the third reason, textual evidence, reasoning/justification (Why is this quote important? How does it explain your reasoning?): Also, When a ship arrived in the American colonies, the traders sold the West African people to White plantation owners. The first year of enslavement on a plantation was very hard. People had to survive a period of “breaking in,” or adjusting to their new life. Next, an overseer shouted orders at them in an unfamiliar language. If they did not understand what they were supposed to do, or if they disobeyed the overseer, they might be whipped. In section 6 it says “They were sold and treated like cattle. White traders did not see them as
This book is what gives us the background knowledge needed to really understand the content we receive in the course. One of the ways it aligns with the content is that education on slavery in the south side is always given but we tend to forget that slavery existed in the north as well. We hear about southern plantation owners, southern slavery and everything happening there but we do not often hear about the slavery that existed in the north. This is also the time in which the “seasoning” period was seen. The “seasoning” period was seen as a time in which the slaves who were seen as “the best” were sent off to the Caribbean where here they were traded with sugar, and tobacco.
However, the owners would to see for their own benefits to keep them well and not overwork work them. This document showed the lifestyle of African American Slaves during the Atlantic Slave trade. It also explains the condition they were in and why they continued to work as slaves instead of revolting.

This caused settlements to be established in North America and colonies to be formed. The Thirteen British Colonies, which would later to become America, fell under Britain’s concept of mercantilism. This policy had their colonies produce for their original country, in this case Britain, and to support their country’s economy (Warren). The Columbian Exchange eventually evolved into what is commonly known as the Triangular Trade. The Triangular Trade involved exporting textiles, rum, and other goods from Europe to Africa, slaves from Africa to the Colonies, and cotton, sugar, and tobacco from the Colonies to Europe (Bradstreet).
During the Triangular Trade, natural resources, goods, crops, and slaves were trade to the New World (Americas). Middle Passage was a stage of the Triangular Trade where millions of African slaves were shipped across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean Islands (West Indies) and North and South America. The slaves weren’t treated fairly and in fact they were exploited. They were abused, whipped, and harmed by the Spaniards.
The more slaves the more sugar that could be produced was the idea that most plantation owners had. These slaves were owned by wealthy British men. The rich men had enough money to buy lots of slaves and produce lots of sugar. This brings back the main idea because none of the sugar could have been produced without any of the labor. Labor is the beginning to this story of the Sugar Trade and without that chapter, it would be incomplete.
Africa traded slaves for very profitable goods and their kingdoms became powerful. Local Africans traded whatever slaves they could get their hands on, which in the beginning were criminals, those in debt or adulterers. As time went by and Africans saw just how much success they had with slave trade they started to resort to harmful methods. African coastal kingdoms would purposely start wars to gain slaves. This resulted in innocent Africans getting enslaved.
Triangular trade in the 1500’s was established to correct imbalances in exports between three ports of region, /Africa, the Americas and Europe. Slaves were exported from Africa to the Americas to help with the growing and harvesting of crops. In turn those crops were turned into rum and cash crops that were then exported to Europe. European goods were used to purchase slaves. The culture and art of Benin disappeared do to the slave trade because the population decreased drastically due to enslavement.
Triangular Trade was a route between America to European Countries. America sent sugar, tobacco, and cotton to Europe. Europe sent clothes and manufactured goods between west africa, as it goes America takes The Africans and make them slaves in their country. Slavery made a huge thing back then it was humiliated and scary. For Africans who were forced to leave their countries and be used in all different ways it was horrifying for them.
As seen on the map on page 194, the most volume of slave trade came from Sub-Saharan Africa. These slaves were to be sent around the world, but mostly in the Americas. xThe slave trade that linked Africa to the Americas and Europe set in motion paths of cultural diffusions that transferred Africans and their cultures across the Atlantic Ocean. Slavery damaged the demographic and political strength of the African societies. West Africa was especially affected because that was where most slaves were taken.
It shows that white slave holders saw black people as livestock, and as objects they could purchase, use, and discard. The way enslaved people were valued and then bought shows that, in the eyes of slave holders, they were just ‘things’, not
My next piece of evidence was already stated in the first paragraph. On page 65 lines 68-69 states " No one dared speaking about it. Couldn't believe it. " The slaves in Africa weren't believing that people were escaping from the plantation.
The conclusion of the African slave trade did not mark the loss of Europe’s interest in Africa. It marked the beginning of a new era; European imperialism in Africa. But what urged Europe to control all of Africa? Political competition, technology, economics, and cultural attitudes all propelled Europe 's colonization of Africa.
This shows many Europeans were going into debt, and needed places to live and to gain money off of. Europeans were going to be able to make a profit off of Africa, so they colonized there. Africa had many resources such as, gold, diamonds, ivory, and spices.(Desanker, “Africa”). Due to those resources the Europeans set up trade routes along the coast of Africa to trade with other nearby colonies. According to Christopher Saunders, “European interests in South Africa began in the 1400’s, when the Portuguese explored the African coast in search of gold and a sea route to
Agreements with African tribal leaders were made for them to sell their young men and women to the colonial leader. Some bigger African tribes even sold people from smaller tribes which they had captured. The slave trade would have been impossible without the coercion of the African
