Chapter 14: Economic Transformations
Commerce and Consequence 1450-1750
Commerce in People: The Atlantic Slave Trade
The Atlantic Slave Trade which was a global network of exchange was the trading market of human being becoming slaves. Between 1500 and 1866, a total of 12.5 million Africans were shipped; across the Atlantic and 10.7 million to Americas, where some sadly lived as slaved throughout the rest of their lives. The Map shows a perfect example of the "Transatlantic slave trade routes" with different sized of red arrow going through the Atlantic Ocean. In class we have talked about it in depth and here are the bully points: Atlantic Slave Trade (= slavery associated race/in same places/inherited status/How people become enslaved previously/loosing a battle/debt). In addition, on pg.625 there is a mid-ninetieth-century painting of slaves held belowdecks on a Spanish ship representing: The Middle Passage. Finally, Europeans bought products from other countries such as cotton textile from India, chocolate from Mexico, tea from China, coffee from Yemen and sugar from Brazil and Caribbean.
