Slavery began in the American colonies in the early 1500s as the Portuguese began exploring Africa and trading slaves. By the 1700s, the growth of industries like rice, tobacco and cotton created a large demand for slave labor in the Southern colonies. To maintain control over the growing slave population, colonies implemented strict slave codes that severely limited the rights of slaves. Throughout this period, slaves resisted their condition through acts like slow work, escape and occasional rebellions, the largest being the Stono Rebellion in 1739. Slavery would not be abolished in the United States until 1865 with the end of the Civil War.

Understanding the Transatlantic Slave Tradebowatkin
When we discuss the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade we have to first understand that African people are the Indigenous people of North, Central & South America & have been in the U.S. at least 51,700 years. We can’t start studying our history in SLAVERY. Even when we study the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, which is important to study, we can’t start in 1619 or in the 1440s when the Portuguese get involved. We have to understand the history chronologically and deal with the 800-year occupation of the Africans known as the Moors who enter into the Iberian Peninsula, today known as Spain and Portugal, from North Africa in 711A.D.
How did we get from isolated countries and cultures to the wold we know today? This seminar gives a brief, and memorable, overview to understand the "whys" to our racialized, yet integrated world.
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.

How to Create Map Views in the Odoo 17 ERPCeline George
The map views are useful for providing a geographical representation of data. They allow users to visualize and analyze the data in a more intuitive manner.
We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

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.

7. The Beginning
1450 Colonial Slavery Begins
Portuguese begin exploring Africa
and trading for goods; including ten
slaves brought back to Portugal
8. The Beginning
The Spanish begin enslaving
Native Americans in America, but
soon switch to African slaves
because the Native Americans die
of disease, will not work, or often
escape
9. The Beginning
Early slaves often had the right to
marry, worship, go to court, and
sometimes own land.
However, things began to change as
the colonies began to prosper and
more slaves were imported
10. Free Colonies
William Penn and James
Oglethorpe established laws
protecting all men and
outlawing slavery
Unfortunately,
economic pressure
and English slave laws
put an end to equal
rights.
11. STOP AND DISCUSS
●Why do you think the rights
of slaves began to
disappear as the colonies
became more prosperous
and more slaves were
imported?
12. Growth of Slavery
● The growth of the rice, indigo,
tobacco and cotton industries
creates a massive need for slaves
(free labor) in the south. By 1700,
the triangular trade routes were
established
13. Growth of Slavery
By 1700 (250,000 colonists)
1,000 slaves in New England Colonies
4,000 slaves in Middle Colonies
23,000 slaves in Southern Colonies
15. Slave Resistance &
Rebellions
● Many slaves resisted by working slower,
escaping, and occasionally fighting or
killing slave owners
● Although the slave population
outnumbered white colonists in some
colonies, slaves were held down with
strict laws and rules set up by colonial and
English laws
16. Slave Resistance &
Rebellions
- Olaudah Equiano, former
slave
1789- Equiano Publishes:
The Interesting Narrative
of the Life of Olaudah
Equiano
“Is not the slave trade entirely
at war with the heart of man?
And surely that which is begun
by breaking down the barriers
of virtue, involves in its
continuance destruction to
every principle, and buries all
sentiments in ruin! When you
make men slaves, you...
compel them to live with you in
a state of war.”
17. Slave Codes
In order to maintain control of the large slave
population, slave codes were often installed in
the colonies.
They included laws such as:
1. Restricted Movement/Set Curfews
2.Slaves were allowed to be executed for
certain crimes
3.Made it difficult for them gain freedom
4.Slaves were not allowed to learn a skilled
trade
5.Restricted the number of slaves that could
meet together
6.Could not testify in court
7. Could not strike a white person or escape
18. Slave Resistance &
Rebellions
STONO REBELLION
The largest and most violent slave rebellion occurred
in 1739 in South Carolina. A group of about 20 slaves
kill a few guards, steal a few weapons and begin
marching toward Florida. As they march south they
gather more slaves, burn houses and kill colonists
along the way. Later, a militia of local colonists
catches up with the slaves and kills many of them.
The rest are tracked down, returned to slavery or
killed.
21. The End
1865 Slavery Ends
The end of the Civil War and the
13th amendment officially end
slavery
22. The End
*During the slave trade 30 million
Africans are captured.
* Millions will die during capture and
transport
*Only about 4% of captured slaves were
brought to the 13 Colonies; most were
sent to sugar producing regions like
Brazil and the West Indies
