Mrs. McDonough, Mrs. Hendricks, and Mrs. Thomas Exploration and Expansion: The Columbian Exchange and Atlantic Slave Trade Mrs. McDonough, Mrs. Hendricks, and Mrs. Thomas

Essential Question: How did competition for resources affect the economic relationships between nations?

The Effects of the Age of Exploration The Age of Exploration connected the New World and the Old World. For the first time, goods, knowledge, and culture could be spread on a global scale. Although there was competition between nations before, now they could compete for resources in new places. Nations were also more dependent on one another for trade.

The Columbian Exchange Named after Christopher Columbus Exchange of goods and diseases between Europe and the Americas Helped to develop the new economic policy=mercantilism, where a nation's strength was based on the wealth and colonies it gained.

The Columbian Exchange

Native Americans and the Columbian Exchange Over the years, Europeans had built up an immunity to common diseases such as smallpox, measles, diphtheria, typhus, and the flu.   Native populations did not have this immunity = dramatic decline in population.

Native Americans and The Columbian Exchange The death of Native people in the New World due to disease meant that Europeans could easily colonize new lands.

The Triangular Trade and the Atlantic Slave Trade

Triangular Trade Triangular Trade- trading network lasting from the 1600’s to the 1800’s that carried goods and enslaved people between Europe, the Americas, and Africa. However, slavery was widespread across the Western world.

The Atlantic Slave Trade

Origins of the Slave Trade High demand for labor! Plantations- estates where cash crops such as sugar or tobacco were grown on large scale. Shortage of Labor (Why?) Planter had first used Native Americans as workers, but European diseases had killed millions of them. Indentured servants were too expensive! Diseases kill of local Native American tribes 9,395,000

Middle Passage Middle Passage- the name for voyages that brought enslaved Africans across the Atlantic Ocean to North America and the West Indies.

Statistics on Slave Ships Journey: Lasts 3-6 weeks 10-20% of Africans died on voyage At dock, families were broken at auctions. Adolescent Males between the ages of 18 – 25 were the most expensive Women were prized because they could reproduce and add to their master’s wealth.

Slavery in the Colonies Worked in: Plantations Mines Women performed domestic duties as cooks or servants.

Fear of Slave REBELLION! Many slave owners didn’t teach their slaves to read, why? The church services usually only read from the New Testament about the suffering of Christ, and avoided the Old Testament about Moses and the Exodus. There were stiff punishments for even the most minor offenses.

Slave Resistance Coped with inhumane treatment by: Keeping cultural traditions alive Turning to religion Attacking slaveholders families and running away
