Triangular Trade The Start of Slavery

A voyage across the Atlantic Ocean Enslaved Africans forced to endure Also Called the Middle Passage

The Triangular Trade is a route to receive slaves. It got it's name from the three routes that formed a triangle.

The first route carried fish, lumber, and other goods from New England to the West Indies. In the West Indies they picked up sugar and molasses which is a dark brown syrup product made from sugar cane. This was used to makes rum. From the West Indies merchants carried the rum, along with guns, gunpowder, and tools to West Africa. Here, they traded these items for slaves, they carried the slaves to the West Indies where they were sold. Traders would take the profits and buy more molasses.

The slaves were treated so harshly that some of them didn’t make it to the West Indies. Traders were so greedy that they wanted to bring as many slaves as possible.

Between 1540 & million Africans transported to the Americas Carried maximum amount on ship The Brookes max = 451 but carried over 600 Chained together hands and feet Only about half of Africans became effective workers in the Americas Many died from diseases of smallpox & dysentery Some committed suicide by not eating Many were crippled for life by being chained Purchase in Africa for $25, sold in Americas $150. Declared Illegal prices were much higher Tremendous profits even with 50% mortality

The slaves were chained and crammed together below the deck. There was hardly any sitting room or standing room.

The slaves didn’t even have fresh air. The air was so stifling that some suffocated to death.

Others tried to starve themselves to death or jump over board. Most died from diseases. When the slaves reached the Americas they were auctioned off. Many families were broken up and never seen again.

The Middle Passage was that leg of the slave triangle that brought the human cargo from West Africa to North America, South America, and the Caribbean.
