Slavery

• First Passage: Inside Africa to shore where ships were waiting

• For weeks, months, sometimes as long as a year, they waited in the dungeons of the slave factories scattered along Africa's western coast.

• Out of the roughly 20 million who were taken from their homes and sold into slavery, half didn't complete the journey to the African coast, most of those dying along the way.

And the worst was yet to come.

SlaveryMiddle Passage

• The captives were about to embark on the infamous Middle Passage, so called because it was the middle trip of a three-part voyage. The last part was the sale of slave in America.

SlaveryVoyage of Death

• The African slave boarding the ship had no idea what lay ahead. Africans who had made the Middle Passage to the plantations of the New World did not return to their homeland to tell what happened to those people who suddenly disappeared.

Slavery Voyage of Death

• The slaves were branded with hot irons and restrained with shackles. Their "living quarters" was often a deck within the ship that had less than five feet of headroom

• an area with little ventilation and, in some cases, not even enough space to place buckets for human waste -- disease spread quickly.

Slavery No Hope!

• Faced with the nightmarish conditions of the voyage and the unknown future that lay beyond, many Africans preferred to die. But even the choice of suicide was taken away from these persons. From the captain's point of view, his human cargo was extremely valuable and had to be kept alive and, if possible, uninjured. A slave who tried to starve him or herself was tortured. If torture didn't work, the slave was force fed

Slavery Triangle Trade

• The first part of the voyage carried products such as iron, cloth, rum, firearms, and gunpowder from Europe. Upon landing on Africa's "slave coast," the cargo was exchanged for Africans. Africans were then sent on the Middle Passage to America.

SlaveryTriangle Trade 2

• The triangle trade could also send slaves to the West Indies, then sending sugar to New England, New England made the sugar to rum and sent the rum to Africa for more slaves.

Triangle Trade• Fully loaded with its human

cargo, the ship set sail for the Americas –

• Slaves packed like cargo between decks often had to lie in each other's feces, urine, and blood. (Middle Passage)

• slaves were exchanged for sugar, tobacco, or some other product.

• The final trip brought the ship back to Europe.
