Chapter Intro How are the Americas linked to Africa? The demand for enslaved Africans increased dramatically after Europeans began to settle in the Americas. The Cape Coast Castle in Ghana is one of the forts where enslaved Africans were held until ships arrived to take them to the Americas. This fort could hold about 1,500 slaves usually locked in dark, crowded dungeons for many weeks. Today, the Cape Coast Castle contains a museum that allows people to learn about slavery. In this chapter you will learn about the exploration of new lands and its global impact. Why might people want to visit the Cape Coast Castle? Does slavery occur in any parts of the world today?

Section 3-End

VS 1 EARLY EXPLORATION of West Africa, India, and the Americas Motivated by religious zeal, gold, and glory, Europeans began to explore distant lands. The Portuguese sailed east around Africa to India. Spanish ships sailed west to the Americas. Spanish conquistadors seized lands ruled by the Aztec and Inca. Diseases introduced by Spanish explorers killed much of the Native American population. By the late 1600s, the Dutch, French, and English entered the rivalry for new lands and trade.

VS 2 AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE of Europe, Asia, and the Americas Before the new exploration, the primary market for enslaved Africans had been Southwest Asia. The demand for plantation laborers in the Americas greatly increased slave trade. Enslaved Africans were part of the triangular trade between Europe, Africa and Asia, and the Americas. In Africa, the slave trade led to increased warfare, depopulation, and the deterioration of society.

VS 3 COLONIAL EMPIRES of Latin America The Portuguese and Spanish profited from their colonial empires in Latin America. Peninsulares were the top social class, followed by creoles, mestizos and mulattoes, and finally enslaved Africans and Native Americans. Catholic missionaries spread across the Americas to try to Christianize Native Americans.
