  1. The Effects of European Colinisation on Africans in the Slave Trade By Elanor, Izzy, Kirsty, Mimi, Sam and Sophie

  2. The African Slave Triangle The African slave triangle was a trade route used between 1450 and the end of the nineteenth century. During the time of the trade slaves were obtained from along the west coast of Africa with the full and active co-operation of African Kings and merchants. The African Slave Triangle consisted of three journeys or stages.

  3. The first stage of the Slave Trade is the outward passage from Europe to Africa carrying manufactured goods.

  4. The second stage in the triangle was the middle passage from Africa to the Americas or the Caribbean. This journey carried the African captives and other ‘commodities’.

  5. The third and final stage of the Slave Trade is the homeward passage carrying sugar, tabacco, rum, rice, cotton and other goods back to Europe.

  6. How and why was the African slave trade vital to the economy of the New World ‍The African Slave trade especially helped America because the slaves helped harvesting crops. Therefore helping the economy because of the increase in farm work and the selling of crops. They also made money on selling the salves to other countries.

  7. Summary of why the Slave Trade was vital?

  8. Slaves provided cheap labour to the colonies in the New World

  9. Europeans' appetite for things like sugar increased which meant they needed more supplies

  10. More slaves were needed to keep up with this demand

  11. White settlers and indigenous/native workers were not as useful as black slaves (wouldn't work as hard, expected wages etc)
