9. The Beginnings

10. The Triangular Trade X
No, they did not trade triangles… or any shapes for that matter.
It was called the triangular trade because it involved 3 groups.
Gold came from the Americas, slaves came from Africa, finished goods (tools, furniture, etc.) came from Europe.
Dude, I totally got a sack of triangles to trade!
Sweet! I’ll trade you these circles!

11. The Spanish Main
The Pope gave Spain rights over the area we now call the Caribbean.
They called it The Spanish Main.
They did not allow people from other countries to explore or trade in the area.

12. The Buccaneers

13. Buccaneers A group of Frenchmen settled in the Caribbean to hunt cows.
Spain didn’t want them there so they killed all the cows.
The buccaneers didn’t leave. Instead, they started stealing from ships in the local seas.
That’s right, they became pirates!

14. History Joke!

15. Excuse me.
How much is that corn?
It is on sale!
It’s a
buck-an-ear!

16. The Privateers

17. Privateers
Since they couldn’t trade in the Spanish Main, other countries hired sailors to attack (and rob) Spanish ships.
These soldiers could only attack enemy ships and only with written permission.
They were not controlled by the government though, they could attack any enemy ship.
They then split the profits with the government.

18. Privateers
Sometimes they would attack without permission so they didn’t have to share.
Once Spain let the others trade and explore the privateers were officially out of a job.
They didn’t quit though. Instead, they started robbing ships from ANY nation!
That’s right, they became pirates!
