A person who is ‘owned’ by another person. They have nothing of their own: No belongings No money No rights or freedom Not even their own name EVERYTHING is owned by their ‘master’

The journey from Africa to America took between 1 and 9 months. Conditions were horrific: America Africa Britain Triangular Trade

People were crammed onto ships like sardines. There was no air nor room to move. There were no toilets so slaves would lie in their and other slave’s waste. The white slave traders believed it was their right to rape women and do what they liked. As a result of this many female slaves became pregnant whilst on the slave ship.

Women and men were kept on separate decks, why do you think that was? You are going to watch a clip from Amistad that shows conditions on board a slave ship. You should make notes on the following aspects 1) How did the slaves feel? 2) What were conditions like? 3) What shocked you the most?
