Slave Trade Triangle - Social Studies

My Slave Trade Map:


Click on the colourful points, and it will bring up an explanation on what happened at each and every point, same for the lines.

What Is The Slave Trade Triangle?
The slave trade triangle is a triangle formed in the Atlantic ocean and the main objective is to exchange Africans for weapons and ammunition. Then Europeans would take them to Africa in horrible conditions and make them do laborious work, for money.

What Is The First Passage?
The first passage is loading guns and weapons to trade with Africans kings for slaves. There are 3 points that the Europeans can arrive at Dakar, Cacheu & Sierra Leone.

What Is The Middle Passage?
Africans were taken from Africa to the Caribbean in very severe condition, the Europeans would pack as many slaves as they could in the bottom part of the ship and make the slaves dance to keep them fit. If the slaves were unfit they would throw them overboard or if the tried to fight back the Europeans would kill them. This passage also involved selling Africans to Americans for personal slaves. Even in America, they were treated poorly.

What Is The Third Passage?
The third passage is loading the products the slaves picked and made and shipping them to Europe for money.

Something I Learned About This Topic?
I learned a lot during this topic but something interesting I learned was how they would pack as many Africans slaves on the boat and treat them very carelessly, like animals.
