AIM: What impact did the Atlantic Slave trade have on the global community?

Do Now: How many slaves were transported during the Atlantic Slave trade in total? What areas were the majority of slaves transported to? Why was the demand for slaves so high during this time? Why do you think the slave trade was able to last for 400 years?

Facts about the Atlantic Slave Trade Ships carried about 2-3 men for every 1 woman. 14 % of slaves sent to the New World were children (under 14), 56% adult males, 30% females The most ancient civilizations--ancient Mesopotamia, Old Kingdom Egypt, and the budding civilization that formed in the Indus and Yangtze river valleys--all had some form of slavery present in their earliest years.

Triangular Trade Routes

B. Triangle Trade 1.Europe: Exported Manufactured goods to Africa and colonies. 2.Africa: Exported slaves to Americas (Colonies). 3.The Americas (Colonies): exported Raw materials.

Middle Passage

C. Middle Passage: Journey from Africa to Americas. 1. “Floating coffins”: 10 – 15 million slaves died of disease, brutal treatment & suicide.

“If the Atlantic were to dry up, it would reveal a scattered pathway of human bones, African bones marking the various routes of the Middle Passage.” ~slave ship captain

A former slave ship captain, John Newton became sympathetic to the slaves and later became a minister. On one journey, his ship was in a terrible storm and almost sunk. He felt that it was a divine intervention and that he was meant to stop the slave trade. He wrote the hymn, Amazing Grace in response to his feelings of guilt. Amazing grace! (how sweet the sound) That sav’d a wretch like me! I once was lost, but now am found, Was blind, but now I see.
