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

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?
A Basic Example:________________________________________________________
CARIBBEAN ISLANDS

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)
