Transatlantic slave trade
The document summarizes the triangular trade route between Europe, Africa, and the Americas that was central to the Atlantic slave trade. The Henrietta Marie, a slave ship from London, is used to illustrate a typical slave trading voyage. It would carry manufactured goods to Africa to trade for enslaved Africans, transporting them in horrific conditions to the Caribbean on the Middle Passage. There, the slaves were sold and the ship loaded with sugar and other goods to bring back profits to Europe, completing the triangle. The slave trade resulted in the forced migration and deaths of millions of Africans for European economic gain.
Transatlantic slave trade
1) The transatlantic slave trade transported 10-20 million Africans to the Americas over 300 years, mostly to Brazil, the Caribbean, and Spanish colonies. Less than 5% went to North America.
2) Enslaved Africans were subjected to brutal conditions during capture, the Middle Passage voyage, and on plantations where they produced crops like cotton, sugar, and tobacco.
3) The slave trade had devastating impacts on Africa's population and development while fueling economic growth in Europe through plantation agriculture.

The slave trade profoundly disrupted African societies and economies while fueling plantation economies in the Americas through centuries of slave labor.
Trans atlantic slave trade + blackbirding
The document summarizes the history of slavery in Africa and the Atlantic slave trade. It discusses how slavery existed in Africa prior to European contact and involved war captives who had no rights. The slave trade expanded dramatically when Europeans arrived and demanded slaves for plantations in the Americas. Millions of Africans were captured and shipped across the Atlantic in horrific conditions, with about half going to the Caribbean and one third to Brazil. Though met with resistance, slavery became entrenched and profitable until the late 18th century, when abolitionists like Equiano, Wilberforce, and Wesley pushed for its end.

The document discusses the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade which began in the 17th century. Plantations in the Americas and Caribbean demanded labor, and Africans were forcibly taken to these colonies as slaves. It is estimated that millions of Africans were transported this way by the 18th century, with the numbers doubling from the 17th century. While slavery had existed in Africa, the slave trade with Europeans industrialized and vastly increased the scale. Africans were often captured from other tribes or cultural groups and sold on the coast to European traders. The transport of enslaved Africans across the Atlantic became known as the Middle Passage. The slave trade profoundly impacted societies and economies in both Africa and the Americas.
The Atlantic Slave Trade
The document summarizes the Atlantic slave trade, which involved the transport of enslaved Africans by European powers to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries. Millions of Africans were captured from their homes and shipped across the Atlantic to work on plantations, mines, and other facilities in the Americas. The slave trade developed a triangular route, with European goods traded for African slaves, who were then transported to the Americas to be sold, with American goods then brought back to Europe. The journey, known as the Middle Passage, was horrific, with captives packed tightly into ship holds where many died from disease and poor treatment. The slave trade had devastating impacts on African societies and cultures but contributed greatly to the

The document summarizes the social, political, economic, and cultural impacts of the Atlantic slave trade on Africa. It discusses how the slave trade contributed to instability, conflicts between groups, the mixing of languages, and loss of cultural practices. Economically, it robbed Africa of human resources and strained the agricultural workforce. It led to a shift to a dependence on European goods and industrial economies. Overall, the slave trade negatively impacted Africa's development while helping to develop Western Europe.
Understanding the Transatlantic Slave Trade
The transatlantic slave trade had complex origins from both Europe and Africa's role in the demand and supply of slaves. Portugal first imported African slaves in the 15th century for labor needs. This grew into a triangular trade route between Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Enslaved Africans endured horrific conditions during the Middle Passage voyage where overcrowding and disease were rampant. The slave trade was eventually abolished in the early 19th century due to growing abolition movements, slave rebellions like Haiti, and laws banning the slave trade. However, the legacy of the slave trade continues to impact societies through issues like racism and unequal development.

Atlantic slave trade
The document summarizes the history of slavery in Africa and the Atlantic slave trade. It describes how slavery existed in Africa prior to European contact, with slaves typically being war captives with no rights. The slave trade expanded dramatically with the arrival of Europeans due to demand for slaves in the Americas.

Over 12 million Africans were ultimately transported through this system, devastating Africa's population and economy.
The atlantic slave trade
The Atlantic Slave Trade saw millions of Africans enslaved and brought to the Americas between the 16th and 19th centuries to work on sugar and tobacco plantations. A triangular trade route developed between Europe, Africa, and the Americas, with Europeans exchanging manufactured goods for slaves in Africa, who were then transported in inhumane conditions on the brutal Middle Passage to the Americas to be sold into forced labor. By the late 18th century, the inhumanity of the slave trade led many countries like Britain and the U.S. to ban the practice, though slavery itself continued in the Americas for some time longer.
Slavery in America

Key events that further divided the country over the issue of slavery are examined, such as the Missouri Compromise of 1820 and the passage of the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 which increased tensions between abolitionists and slaveholders. Methods slaves used to communicate and assist each other in escaping via the Underground Railroad are described, despite facing severe punishments if caught.
AP World Atlantic Slave Trade
The document summarizes the history of the Atlantic slave trade from antiquity to its abolition. It describes how slavery was already established in Africa by the time Europeans arrived and dramatically expanded the slave trade to meet labor demands on plantations in the Americas. The triangular trade route transported enslaved Africans to the Americas and goods to Africa and Europe. Conditions during the Middle Passage and on plantations were extremely cruel. Resistance took many forms. Abolitionists from different backgrounds advocated for ending the slave trade and slavery.
The Slave Trade
The document discusses the Trans-Atlantic slave trade between Africa and the Americas between 1450-1800. It provides statistics on the number of Africans kidnapped and sold into slavery during this period, with estimates ranging from 10-15 million slaves transported across the Atlantic. It also describes the triangular trade route that emerged, linking Europe, Africa, and the Americas, with slaves from Africa being exchanged for goods. The horrific "Middle Passage" involved transporting slaves across the Atlantic under terrible conditions.
African Slave Trade
The document summarizes the Atlantic slave trade that took place between 1450 and 1865. It discusses the different phases of the slave trade including the capture of Africans in their homelands, transporting them on the brutal Middle Passage across the Atlantic Ocean, and seasoning them through forced labor in the Caribbean. It notes that 30 million Africans were taken from their homes, with 10 million dying during the capture phase and another 10 million dying during the Middle Passage. The document also examines the triangular trade route between Africa, the Caribbean and North America, and the growth of the slave population in the Americas to over 4 million by 1860 due to demand for labor and inventions like the cotton gin.
African slave trade
The document summarizes the African slave trade between the 15th and 19th centuries. It describes how Europeans started capturing and trading West Africans as slaves to work on plantations in the Americas. Over 12 million Africans were sent across the Atlantic, where they faced horrific conditions and were often separated from their families. The slave trade had huge economic and social impacts on both Africa and the Americas.
Atlantic Slave Trade - why did slavery start
Slavery started because there was increasing demand for sugar but not enough workers to produce it. Africans were taken as slaves to grow sugar in the Americas as they were more resistant to European diseases than native tribes. This forced transportation of slaves from Africa to the Americas to support the sugar industry became known as the Triangular Trade due to the three stages of the journey: goods to Africa, slaves to Americas, produced goods from Americas to Europe.
Triangular trade
The document describes the triangular trade system that developed between England, its North American colonies, Africa, and the West Indies. Raw materials from the colonies were exported to England, where they were used to manufacture goods that were then shipped to Africa and the West Indies. Enslaved Africans purchased on the coast of Africa made up the third leg of the triangle, transported via the brutal Middle Passage to the colonies and West Indies to be sold and used as slaves, completing the cycle of trade. The system was driven by European mercantilist policies that aimed to accumulate wealth for the parent countries.
Slave Rebellions
The document summarizes slave resistance to the institution of slavery in the United States from 1800 to the Civil War. It describes various slave rebellions and uprisings led by Denmark Vessey, Gabriel Prosser, Nat Turner, and John Brown. It also discusses the Underground Railroad and the role of Harriet Tubman in helping slaves escape. The document also profiles prominent abolitionists and activists including David Walker, Maria Stewart, Frederick Douglass, and Sojourner Truth who resisted slavery through pamphlets, speeches, and moral persuasion.
Transatlantic slave trade
The document discusses the origins and impacts of the transatlantic slave trade. It began in the late 15th century as European powers colonized the Americas and established sugar plantations there. They imported enslaved Africans to work on these plantations, resulting in 10-15 million Africans being taken as slaves until the 1860s. The slave trade generated huge profits that helped make Britain a wealthy industrial power. After Britain abolished slavery in 1833, it paid compensation to slave owners that totaled over £17 billion in today's money, benefiting wealthy elites and impacting British society. The document examines how this history of slavery and its profits are still impacting communities today.
