Enslaved Peoples:________________________________________________________

These are the best estimates that we have for the numbers in the

slave trade:30 million people are taken from their homes in Africa

o10 million died resisting capture or awaiting sale

o10 million died traveling across the Atlantic Ocean

o10 million survive the trip, and are sold into slavery in the Americas

The Slave Trade:________________________________________________________

1. Capture:oAfrican tribes on the

coast cooperate with Europeans

o Inland tribes are captured and sold into slavery.

Castle-like prisons are built on costal cities to hold the captured

tribesmen until they can be sold as slaves and shipped overseas.

The Slave Trade:________________________________________________________

1. Capture:oAfrican tribes on the

coast cooperate with Europeans

o Inland tribes are captured and sold into slavery.

2. Over the Ocean:oA long journey across

the Atlantic Ocean (about 2 months)

o400-500 slaves per boat

3. Training:

o4-5 months of training on the “how tos” of slavery

Thinking caps on!________________________________________________________

Don’t write anything down – just think!o How did slave traders decide which Africans

to capture?o Given the amount of people that died, and

what slaves had to endure, what do you think was going through the minds of the slave traders?

Is this thing on?

Growth of Slavery:________________________________________________________

How did slavery grow? African slaves were preferred because:o There was a great need for

farm laboro It was difficult to Africans to

“run away” compared to Native Americans

o Captured slaves were “selected” to be stronger, healthier, and often already trained in agriculture.

By 1860, there are 4 million slaves in the Southern U.S….

This makes up 1/3 of the population of those states!

Primary Sources:________________________________________________________

Read through the first hand account of what it was like to travel on a slave ship.

Theeeeeeeeen…Create a companion journal entry from

the perspective of a slave trader.o What were the motivations for a person who

would do this? o How would s/he react to slavery?o How would this person react to the suicide of

the slaves? o What values does this person have?

The Triangle:________________________________________________________

Make your own triangle of trade!Remember, what made the Triangle so effective was that it

always fed into itself. Work with whoever you like, just be working!

Make sure you’re on task,

because you’ll be sharing

your Triangles with the

class in a few minutes!

Set sail for adventure!________________________________________________________

Here’s what I need:

Color(All over, please!)

Symbols that represent YOU on the sails

Your name on the bow (for example, S.S. Michael Cooper)
