How do place and context affect the slave experience in the Americas? (Mainland, Caribbean, Brazil)
Day 1

2. Directions:
Today we will be learning about the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and how it impacted the Americas, not just Virginia.
I am handing out a Student Framework to each of you. As we work through the PowerPoint, you will be asked to record information onto your framework. I will be collecting this at the end of class for a grade. It will also be used on the final project, so write neatly.
In addition, feel free to ask questions, or clarify information as we go through the presentation.
