Hey everyone! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and that Romeo and Juliet is going fantastically! Today we discussed the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. We discussed how Europeans tapped into already established slave trade within Africa. Slaves were sold to the Europeans for guns and other manufactured goods. They then were transported through the Americas (called the Middle Passage), but only 5-6% were sent to North America.
For homework, you are to read the article I gave you about the differences between slavery in North and Latin America. Please read it and make a chart showing the differences between the two.
Also, remember that if you did not hand in the DBQ, there will be two points taken off for each class day that it is late. Remember that this essay is worth 50 points, and if you do not hand it in, you will be at a loss for that many points (which would significantly effect your grade for the worse). So I do encourage you to take the time and get the essay done.
Have a great weekend and break a leg to the cast and crew of Romeo and Juliet!
