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. I don’t know way American people decided to do this but it was sad for the African who suffered their lives to not die. At first European people were used to buy the African slaves but were taken by the Americans, the African were known to be hard workers and have experience in building things, doing weapons with the materials they have, they were smart and good learners. Throughout the trip America took 10 million of Africans. The ship was tight and a …show more content…
As i even imagine what they have been through it was crazy back then. As they got to America they were trained for thousands of years to become soldiers, workers...etc. Until now the new world as i go from place to place and see Africans who are now fighting for this country and sacrificing themselves for the country, it’s unbelievable to see how all of Africa from generation to generation are trying their best to protect this country. From soldiers or workers or any others in America trying their best and respecting other people. I just don’t get how Africans just forgot everything the Americans did to them and now are friends with them. If they were soldiers serving in America or if they’re in Africa both sides are helping each other and they gave peace. It is nice to see how there are a lot of poor people who are trying to live, a lot of americans are supporting it and trying to help. I learned a lot from the Triangular Trade and how it was miserable , i hope that all people who are suffering; war, sickness, poorness or anything can be solved and let the world have peace one
The transatlantic slave trade or triangular trade was a trade system involving Britain, Europe, Africa, America and the West Indies. Goods such as firearms and alcohol were taken from Britain to Africa in exchange for slaves. The slaves were then taken to America and the West Indies where they were exchanged for rum and sugar for the voyage back to Britain. It can be argued that the key reason for the development of the British economy in the 18th century was its role in the slave trade, although there were many other factors involved such as the industrial revolution and the British Empire.
The African slave trade was very harsh for many reasons. This is because the idea of capture/sale was inhumane, blacks were kept in cages, conditions of ships were horrible, and one out of every three blacks died on the way over. By 1800, ten to fifteen million blacks had been transported as slaves to the Americas; while in Africa, fifty million human beings lives' were lost to death and slavery in those years. Blacks were easier to enslave than whites and Indians, but still were trouble to keep under thumb. These Afro-Americans rebelled by often running away and attempt to find family or sabotaging their work.
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.
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 colonies only existed because they have to serve the mother country. They tried to reduce the price of what they were buying and increase the price of what they were selling so they could increase their wealth, or they would get raw materials and make manufactured goods to sell for a high price. Triangular trade was when the Americas, Europe, and Africa traded and it formed a Triangle. Americas would trade raw materials, such as lumber and cotton for shirts, furniture, and manufactured goods. When Africa traded with Europe, they would trade gold and iron and when the Americas traded with Africa, they would trade raw materials for
During the triangle trade, they basically sent everything to Europe. They were taking advantage of all the resources that they received and the European Imperialists took majority of the resources. There were many changes that
The captain and crew members didn’t pay much consideration to the Africans, in fact, they were chained together and crammed below decks in order to fill ships to their maximum
The African slaves then became the prominent cheap labor market once it was shown the the Africans could withstand harsher treatment. This enacted the Triangular Trading system that that shipped slaves to the Americas, raw goods from the Americans back to Europe, and the finished product back to Africa in exchange for more slaves. Greed influenced an absence of humanitarian concerns because slavery was a way for the rich to get richer and the poor to have a little bit of wealth without doing some of the harsh labor. This caused humanitarian morals to drift to the wayside because it is easy to ignore morals once you do not seen the oppressed as people any more. Slaves were now looked at as property meant to give you more
Millions of African men, women, and children were plucked from their homes and shipped over to the colonies in exchange for goods. As a result of the absence of humanitarian concerns, slaves during the period of Atlantic
Taking advantage of the slave trade, the Portuguese bought and abused thousands of African slave laborers and their descendants every year. Because of the huge dispersion of African slaves, Africans became known as a slave race. For years, the people of Africa and America suffered from the continuous maltreatment from the Portuguese and
In fact, there are records that say African voyages were made long ago before slavery even started in America. We are led to believe that Christopher Columbus came to voyage America before Africans did but there was a voyage long before Christopher Columbus. Africans were brought to the west by Americans to cultivate things like sugar and cotton; they got this idea from Muslims who had black slaves in places like Egypt and Southern Iraq who were cultivating the same thing. The type of slavery that existed in the west was much harsher. Millions of slaves were brought to the west and about 60% of them did not survive.
In the 18th century, there was the Atlantic Triangular Trade. This trading route involved Africa, Europe and the Americas trading back and forth to each other, which essentially formed a triangle (hence the name). Between Africa and North America, slaves, meat, fish, lumber, rum and grain went to and fro. Africa sold it's people into slavery in return for said goods. To America, this was an admirable trade.
The Atlantic Slave Trade caused many political, social, and economical effects on the US. There are debates over reparations, and whether the confederate flag should be hung up. It also affected the Civil Rights Movement greatly and contributed to the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and contributed to racism. First of all, what was the Atlantic Slave Trade?
Although the Africans on the coast had never had direct contact with Europeans before, they had traded with the same people and probably knew of their existence. Because of the amount of deaths and other hardships the Europeans brought upon the Native Americans, they felt the worst of the Europeans need to expand their land and
