Goods to be traded for slaves on the African coast included hogsheads of rum, guns and gunpowder, ammunition, wool and cotton fabric(preferred by Africans as a durable cloth for clothing), Italian glass beads of man colors, manufactured goods(knives, watches, padlocks, rings, scales for measuring gold, razors, buckles, buttons), and brass bowls and pans(which resembled the highly prized African copper).]]> 2016-10-20 14:47:33 UTC https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132092960 88099 https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132093577 Branding helped ensure that inferior African were not secretly swapped in the place of a stronger one that had been purchased.

But the Transatlantic crossing had a great impact on the health and strength of Africans, and new arrivals had to be taught the ways of the plantation. It was more cost effective(and simpler) to encourage or enforce reproduction among black women to supply slaves. Banning the importation of slaves also increased the value of American slaves.]]> 2016-10-20 14:50:25 UTC https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132094238 91799 https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132094686 A barracoon was a slave shed on the coast, often on the beach near the factory. Many were sickened by consuming bad water or food or due to poor sanitation. Africans were crammed into these pens, and any that appeared to be sick would be killed for fear of spreading contagious diseases too the rest of the slave stock. Bodies surrounded the barracoons, left to be consumed by hyenas.]]> 2016-10-20 14:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132094686 580291 https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132094822 The Bible was used as a reason to treat people as lower then others.]]> 2016-10-20 14:51:38 UTC https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132094822 63135 https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132095149 Slave factories were built in or near stinking swamps, infested with mosquitoes that made it impossible for the factors to sleep unless they were drunk.

Sometimes a ship could not sail because too much of the crew had succumbed to illness. It was safer to stay on the coast than to travel inland or upstream on rivers. Slaves held in the factories for too long would also create epidemics that would wipe out large numbers of Africans before they could be transported.]]> 2016-10-20 14:54:06 UTC https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132096004 580291 https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132096026 America was never a big part of the slave trade, but they were still apart of it.]]> 2016-10-20 14:54:08 UTC https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132096026 580291 https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132096302 America started using more machines than slaves during the Industrial Revolution.]]> 2016-10-20 14:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132096302 63135 https://padlet.com/580291/7ftndv948ql0/wish/132096566 The slave factory was incredibly foreign to the captives.
