AMERICAN ECONOMIC HISTORY - THE FINANCIAL IMPACT OF SLAVERY 1
American Economic History - The financial Impact of Slavery
African men and woman were shipped as cargo on slave ships to the United State to be sold for the sole purpose of working the land for the white man cultivating tobacco, wheat and cotton. In Virginia tobacco was beneficial and in the long run when ranchers found the dirt was prime for developing tobacco it turned into the first lucubrate farms in the south. The plants flourished in the hotness and dampness of the Virginia which lead to development in the economy. The slave labor workforce was one of the most dynamic economic and social processes in American history that generated enormous amounts of revenue due to the high volume of growth in textiles and raw materials in the South, however this was not just a political issue it was also an unjustly human rights issues .
Source:
Subjugation in Americas began when African slaves were brought to the North American province of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619 in slave ships. Slave ships were expansive cargo ships that were changed over with the end goal of transporting Africans to America to be workers without rights. An expected 15 million Africans were transported to the Americas somewhere around 1540 and 1850. To expand their benefits slave shippers conveyed the same number of slaves as was physically conceivable on their boats. By the seventeenth century slaves could be acquired in Africa for about $25 and sold in the Americas for about $150. After the slave-exchange was announced illicit, costs went much higher. Indeed with a passing rate of 50 for every penny, dealers could hope to make colossal benefits from the exchange (Slavery in America, 2014).
On the slave ship Africans had no power over their lives. For a large portion of the day, slaves were kept and put beneath deck without natural air. On occasions when the slaves were allowed to go above deck were attached to one another in shackles to keep them from attempting to escape. The slavers controlled what the slaves consumed, drank. The diet consisted of rice, bean and 24 ounces of water a day. Many that attempted to rebel were flogged within an inch of their life. Those that did not survive were thrown overboard (Cugoano, O. - 1787, January 1).
Tobacco
Amid the pioneer period in the United States, tobacco was the prevailing slave-delivered item. Gathered in Virginia and Maryland, tobacco ranches holders used the biggest rate of African slaves. Tobacco assumed a critical part in the economy of the United States since the frontier period. As interest rose in Europe, tobacco turned into the most imperative American horticultural fare of the late eighteenth century. High tobacco taxes in England helped lead to the American Revolutionary War. Therefore, the tobacco business helped fundamentally to the financial development of the United States through a significant part of the nineteenth and twentieth century's.
Teaching Bible and History half-time, creating during the other half, and during the "third half" studying history and the Bible. Hi! My name is Pete. I am really into my project of creating sound-less PowerPoint presentations of US History, intended for the classroom teacher, the parents of home-schoolers, or the historically obsessed. It takes time to create the lessons, but it’s fun for this old retired teache. I find that narrations are too difficult to fit my lessons. The teacher or viewer should control the speed of the video, stopping/pausing where necessary to amplify, correct, discuss, or criticize. There will be a huge set of lessons on World War II events in depth. There will be a huge set of lessons on the Bible. I trust you will enjoy the lessons as much as I did creating them. Q and A are inserted throughout for fun or annoyance, hopefully for teaching moments and discussions. Should be great for the high school classroom or the home-schoolers. But, I like reading/viewing my own stuff, I think it’s good, I learn….or recall more history with every viewing. Watch for the battles like the first, Island Hopping-the war in the Pacific (WWII).

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
5. The Act was one of the most controversial elements of the 1850 compromise and
heightened Northern fears of a "slave power conspiracy". It required that all escaped
slaves, upon capture, be returned to their masters and that officials and citizens of free
states had to cooperate. Abolitionists nicknamed it the "Bloodhound Bill," for the dogs
that were used to track down runaway slaves.
The Act contributed to the growing polarization of the country over the issue of slavery
and is considered one of the causes of the Civil War.

10. Slavers were often transported
considerable distances down river (in
this case the Congo) to be sold to
Europeans.
Fresh Captives Being Sent Into Bondage – Witnessed by Stanley
Indigenous African slavers from coastal regions would
travel far into the interior to obtain slaves. They were
generally better armed, having obtained guns from
European merchants in trade for slaves.

12. 1712 South Carolina Statute
“All negroes, mulattoes, mustizoes,
Indians which at anytime have been sold,
and their children, are hereby made and
declared slaves.”
13. The invention of the cotton gin in the 1790s
The invention has thus been identified as an inadvertent
contributing factor to the outbreak of the American Civil War.
Thanks to the cotton gin, the amount of raw cotton yielded
doubled each decade after 1800.
Its inadvertent effect on American
slavery was that it ensured that
the South's economy developed in
the direction of plantation-based
agriculture (while encouraging the
growth of the textile industry
elsewhere, such as in the North).
14. While it took a single slave about ten hours to
separate a single pound of fiber from the seeds, a
team of two or three slaves using a cotton gin could
produce around fifty pounds of cotton in just one
day.
The number of slaves rose in concert with the increase in
cotton production, increasing from around 700,000 in
1790 to around 3.2 million in 1850. By 1860, black slave
labor from the American South was providing two-thirds
of the world’s supply of cotton, and up to 80% of the
crucial British market.

Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within
this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of
free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of
all other Persons [i.e., slaves].
Article I, Section. 9, clause 1. [No power to ban slavery until 1808]
The Migration or Importation of such Persons as any of the States now existing shall think proper to admit, shall
not be prohibited by the Congress prior to the Year one thousand eight hundred and eight, but a Tax or duty may
be imposed on such Importation, not exceeding ten dollars for each Person.
Article IV, Section. 2. [Free states cannot protect slaves]
No Person held to Service or Labour in one State, under the Laws thereof, escaping into another, shall, in

The Current Balance of Power
Slave versus Free
23. The only way to pass
the Missouri
Compromise of 1820
was to get the
support of the
Southern states.
The deal?
Maine admitted as a free state………
Missouri admitted as a slave state.

Slavery was prohibited north of the 36°30′ parallel, excluding
Missouri.

28. Under the law
• Compromise of 1820, which
admitted Maine to the Union as a
free state at the same time that
Missouri was admitted as a slave
state.
• The Compromise also banned slavery
in the Louisiana Purchase territory
north and west of the state of
Missouri along the line of 36–30.
• The Missouri Compromise quieted
the issue for a while.
Keep slavery legal in the south
What was the balance of power between the slave states and the

29. David Wilmot
Congressman from
Pennsylvania
A proposal to ban slavery in territories
acquired from Mexico.
Background:
1836 Texas independence
not recognized by Mexico
Texas annexed to USA 1845
Mexico angered
President Polk offers millions to
end the conflicts.
Mexico refuses and sends troops north.
Mexican-American War
US troops under Zachary Taylor and Winfield
Scott easily defeat Mexico.
Treaty of 1848:
California Territory, New Mexico Territory
goes to USA.
US pays millions to Mexico.
Mexico no longer claims rights to Texas.
The Wilmot Proviso created further arguments,
negotiations, compromises, and contributed to the
outbreak of the Civil War.
30. Confederate Vice President
Alexander Stephens
stated that the foundation of the new
nation was the supremacy of whites over
African-Americans, claiming it to be a
"great physical, philosophical, and moral truth".
Simple Prejudice
He was not alone in his beliefs.
36. To ban slavery in territories acquired from Mexico.
Who would object?
Where was Santa Ana during these events?
Why did Mexico try to hold on to Texas through all the conflicts?
What river would now be the southern border of Texas?
Examine the balance of power between the slave states and the free states as a result of the
passing of the Wilmot Proviso.
37.
38. Tariffs •
Tariffs are fees charged for
imported goods from
Europe
“We don’t need no factories, Cotton is King
around here and that’s where the money is.”
The North says,
“We have factories, but we can’t beat
out the British, they have too much.”
The South says,
The solution was to make the
British pay money to sell their
cotton goods to the northern
states.
43. A short Q @ A to see if you really understand:
What did the South want?
1. The South wanted the north to leave them and
their cotton industry alone.
2. The South wanted the price of cotton to stay high for
more profits.
3. The South was against tariffs which would cut off
the trade with Britain .
4. The South knew they were losing power in
Congress and needed no laws that would restrict the
growth of slavery.
5. The South demanded free trade without
restrictions of any kind.
6. The South believed that States’ Rights as
described in the Constitution would protect the
slave-holding states.
44.
45. nullification
“If we don’t like it, we won’t recognize it.”
“You make a law we don’t like, we aren’t gonna’ obey it.”
46. Congress
passed
Federal
tariff bills
that hurt the
Southern
economy.
The southern state of South Carolina
passed the “Ordinance of Nullification”
which stated the tariffs to be
unconstitutional.
On March 1, 1833, Congress passed
the Force Bill—authorizing government troops
to enter South Carolina to enforce the tariffs.
A short discussion period
would provide a small
platform for those who see
this as humorous.
47. US government passes a law
Southern states nullify the law-they won’t obey it.
US government tells the Southern states- “Obey the law”.
Southern states say “NO”.
US government will send in troops to enforce the law.
Tariffs
Nullified
Forced
Still Nullified
48. • This Nullification argument would end by 1836.
• Effects on the future: the Southern States were being tougher
to deal with over any subject.
• Government troops could be used against the more agitating
southern states.
• Southern states saw nullification as future possibility.
• Southern states saw the value of arguing States’ Rights.
49.
50. Repeat

But………
there was a clause
in the act…….
54. The Popular Sovereignty Clause
Question:
Take a guess.
This clause means ….
a. Trouble.
b. Soon the Territories will
become states.
c. The South will lose Kansas
and Nebraska
d. Slavery will not be allowed
in Kansas or Nebraska.
The people of Kansas-Nebraska will vote for or
against slavery in their territories.
Popular Sovereignty means the majority choice of the people.
55. Discussion Question: What could the supporters of slavery do to help the vote go
their way?
What could the anti-slavery faction do to help the vote go their way?
What DID Happen?
58. The Kansas–Nebraska Act divided the nation and pointed it
toward civil war.
The Act itself virtually nullified the Missouri Compromise of
1820.
The turmoil over the act split both the Democratic and Whig
parties and gave rise to the Republican Party, which split the
United States into two major political camps, the Republican
North and the Democratic South.
Bottom Line:
Kansas and Nebraska would be
Free-
State

60. John Brown and his family and allies were
violent anti-slavery, abolitionists.
His group was involved with “Bleeding Kansas”
His group led a violent
attack on the military
supply depot in
Harper’s Ferry, Virginia-
1859
61. The abolitionist John Brown’s raid on Harper’s Ferry in 1859
convinced more and more southerners that their northern
neighbors were bent on the destruction of the “peculiar
institution” that sustained them.
62. "John Brown's body lies
a-mouldering in the grave,
His soul's marching on."
"He's gone to be a soldier
in the army of the Lord,
His soul's marching on."
Charles Town jury found Brown guilty on all three counts.
Brown was sentenced to be hanged in public on December 2.
In response to the sentence, Ralph Waldo Emerson remarked
that "[John Brown] will make the gallows glorious like the
Cross." Cadets from the Virginia Military Institute under the
leadership of General Francis H. Smith and Major Thomas J.
Jackson (who would earn the nickname "Stonewall" less than
two years later) were called into service as a security detail in
the event Brown's supporters attempted a rescue.
A company of US
Marines fought
with Brown’s
forces, capturing
10 and killing 5, 8
escaped.
This song was sung by armies during
the Civil War.
63. Harriet
Tubman
An American abolitionist and political activist.
Born into slavery, Tubman escaped and subsequently
made some 13 missions to rescue approximately 70 enslaved people, including family and friends,[2] using
the network of antislavery activists and safe houses known as the Underground Railroad. During the
American Civil War, she served as an armed scout and spy for the Union Army. In her later years, Tubman
was an activist in the movement for women's suffrage.

65. Supreme Court’s ruling in the Dred Scott case (1857)
confirmed the legality of slavery in the territories.
Dred Scott Supreme Court Decision
His owner took him outside the south and through states that did not allow
slavery. These states had rules that any enslaved person brought into the state
became free. Dred Scott sued to try to win his freedom.
United States Supreme Court denied his plea,
determining that no Negro was or
could ever be a citizen.
Dred Scott was a slave.
Married with two daughters
Dred Scott decision allowed slaves to be brought into their states.
Slavery was now legal in the
territories

68. • “Uncle Tom’s Cabin” by Harriet Beecher Stowe
• It is credited with helping fuel the abolitionist
cause in the 1850s.
Uncle Tom's Cabin was the best-selling novel
of the 19th century and the second best-
selling book of that century, following the
_______________?_________.
The sentimental novel depicts the reality of slavery while also
asserting that Christian love can overcome something as
destructive as enslavement of fellow human beings.
The book and the plays it inspired helped popularize a number
of stereotypes about black people.

to the Civil War.

the U.S. territories. The Southern states viewed this as
a violation of their constitutional rights and as the first
step in a plan to eventually abolish slavery.
