THE SLAVE TRADE
PLANTATION SYSTEM
PRESENTER: ARDITH CONWAY
THE SLAVE TRADE
Trade had existed between the Europeans and the Africans before colonialism.
“AN AFRICAN ONLY BECAME A SLAVE WHEN HE REACHED A SOCIETY WHERE HE WORKED AS A SLAVE.”
-WALTER RODNEY.
START WITH WHY
WHY?
• Europeans recognized the potential of the Americas in tropical
produce.
• Plantations systems needed a vast amount of labor.
• The indigenous Indian population died and Europe did not
possess the required labor force.
• Africans were accustomed to settled agriculture and disciplined
labor.
WHY?
• Europeans recognized the potential of the Americas in tropical
produce.
• Plantations systems needed a vast amount of labor.
• The indigenous Indian population died and Europe did not
possess the required labor force.
• Africans were accustomed to settled agriculture and disciplined
labor.
HOW?
• In some cases, the Europeans raided African villages in Western Africa.
• Mostly, Europeans exchanged manufactured goods for slaves from the
Africans themselves.
• African rulers found European goods desirable enough to hand over
captives from war as well as their own subjects.
• Obtaining slaves in order to trade to Europeans became an economic
activity.
WHAT?
• Triangular trade usually evolves when a region has export
commodities that are not required in the region.
• The Triangular trade is a trade model, not an exact description of
the ship's route.
• It consisted of three parts.
TRIANGULAR TRADE: PART 1
• The first part of the triangle was from a European port to Africa, in
which ships carried manufactured goods.
• Typical cargo included copper, cloth, guns and ammunition.
• When the ship arrived, its cargo would be sold or traded for slaves.
TRIANGULAR TRADE: PART 2
• In the second part, ships made the journey of the Middle Passage from Africa to
the New World.
• Many slaves died due to the harsh conditions on board.
• Once the ship reached the New World, enslaved survivors were sold in the
Caribbean or the American colonies.
TRIANGULAR TRADE: PART 3
• In the third part, ships were then loaded with export goods for a
return voyage to their home port.
• Goods were mostly agricultural products produced by slaves.
• Export cargoes included sugar, rum, molasses, tobacco and hemp.
• The ship’s arrival in Europe, where the demand originated,
marked the completion of the triangle.
THE TRIANGULAR TRADE MODEL
CONSEQUENCES: ON EUROPEANS
• Walter Rodney asserted that the industrial revolution was at least
in part funded by agricultural profits from the Americas.
• Eric Williams suggested that the increase of consumption goods
called forth by that trade inevitably drew in its train the
development of the productive power of the country.
• By exploiting Africa there were able to make developments in
commercial banks, shipping, the steam engine and even simple
things such as piano keys.
FOR EXAMPLE:
CONSEQUENCES: ON AFRICANS
• Africa helped to develop Western Europe in the same proportion
as Western Europe helped to under develop Africa.
• Slaving prevented the remaining population from effectively
engaging in agriculture and industry, and it employed
professional slave hunters and warriors to destroy rather than
build.
• African economic activity was affected both directly and
indirectly by population loss.
CONSEQUENCES: ON AFRICANS
LAWS THAT GOVERN SLAVE TRADE
The movement of slaves from Africa to the European colonies or to the mother land
was controlled by European laws.
• The navigation acts from Great Britian
• The Code Noir (the black code) from France

  • 7. WHAT? • Triangular trade usually evolves when a region has export commodities that are not required in the region. • The Triangular trade is a trade model, not an exact description of the ship's route. • It consisted of three parts.
  • 8. TRIANGULAR TRADE: PART 1 • The first part of the triangle was from a European port to Africa, in which ships carried manufactured goods. • Typical cargo included copper, cloth, guns and ammunition. • When the ship arrived, its cargo would be sold or traded for slaves.
  • 9. TRIANGULAR TRADE: PART 2 • In the second part, ships made the journey of the Middle Passage from Africa to the New World. • Many slaves died due to the harsh conditions on board. • Once the ship reached the New World, enslaved survivors were sold in the Caribbean or the American colonies.
  • 10. TRIANGULAR TRADE: PART 3 • In the third part, ships were then loaded with export goods for a return voyage to their home port. • Goods were mostly agricultural products produced by slaves. • Export cargoes included sugar, rum, molasses, tobacco and hemp. • The ship’s arrival in Europe, where the demand originated, marked the completion of the triangle.
  • 12. CONSEQUENCES: ON EUROPEANS • Walter Rodney asserted that the industrial revolution was at least in part funded by agricultural profits from the Americas. • Eric Williams suggested that the increase of consumption goods called forth by that trade inevitably drew in its train the development of the productive power of the country. • By exploiting Africa there were able to make developments in commercial banks, shipping, the steam engine and even simple things such as piano keys.
  • 14. CONSEQUENCES: ON AFRICANS • Africa helped to develop Western Europe in the same proportion as Western Europe helped to under develop Africa. • Slaving prevented the remaining population from effectively engaging in agriculture and industry, and it employed professional slave hunters and warriors to destroy rather than build. • African economic activity was affected both directly and indirectly by population loss.
  • 16. LAWS THAT GOVERN SLAVE TRADE The movement of slaves from Africa to the European colonies or to the mother land was controlled by European laws. • The navigation acts from Great Britian • The Code Noir (the black code) from France
