Atlantic Slave Trade

Slaves normally only had 4 square feet of space. You can draw that on a blackboard. So you should feel sorry for these people. They are not animals. They were treated like animals though. Luckily, Abe fixed that and The South had to change too. Even if that meant a huge war between them. You can choose who were the good guys, but the north were pretty nice.

Slavery started early in history, but not as early as our hunter-gatherer great great etc grandparents.

Slaves were sold, and they were treated like cattle, they were branded on the cheek.

Slaves did a lot of housework, crafting and even sailing, but they mostly worked in farms. When they farmed sugar cane, they had handrollers that you could get your hand easily stuck in. When that happens...... Well......................

Slave is an overused word. VERY OVERUSED.

Slaves made up 30% of the total population of rome.

Americans traded for slaves, they didn't just raid villages and steal the slaves.

Slaves were traded for metal tools and guns.

Slaves normally worked at sugar press houses for about 48 hours a day. OOPS. 48 HOURS IS LONGER THAN A DAY.

Chattle slavery is when slaves are movable property.

Slaves are removed from the culture, life and greatness of their country. They were also dehumanized.

Some people want to be slaves.

You might be one of those many people who are slaves, working for a CEO of a company and studying at a school. Do you want to change that? Make your own company. But working for someone is a good start!

Sugar Press houses are very hot.

The average lifespan of a slave on the sugar plantation was 23 years.

Slave owners were calculating that if the slaves were healthy they would have children and the slave owners could sell them!


Slavery, really? Ain't funny. Can't make any jokes. Their folk songs were amazing too, and there are lots of folk stories too, that cheered them up during their capped time. I mean, why were the southerners so mean? Buying people isn't allowed anymore so please don't buy someone! Except when NO.

Slaves were property. Of course! They WERE, but now they aren't, because we freed them. Yay! You're free now slaves! Thrive, and have fun!

Slaves didn't have much space when being delivered to the Americas! Oh noes! That's boring, mean and most importantly uncomfortable. No jokes. NO JOKES!

There were no toilets in the ships, so they had to crap inside the box. And no, there isn't a poop joke in there somewhere, because this whole thing is too damn depressing!

If you're happy that slaves were freed, then good for you! Yay! But if you're unhappy, then shame on you! SHAME ON YOU! AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I FEEL SO RELAXED!
