Commercial goods from Europe were shipped to Africa for sale and traded for enslaved Africans. Africans were in turn brought to the regions  in what became known as the Middle Passage. Enslaved Africans were then traded for raw materials, which were returned to Europe to complete the Triangular Trade.]]> 2021-10-25 12:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliyahsteele1/7rd2uaoxqa78tc4m/wish/1841470004 aaliyahsteele1 https://padlet.com/aaliyahsteele1/7rd2uaoxqa78tc4m/wish/1854890740 Two Portuguese navigator-explorers, Antão Gonçalves and Nuno Tristão, headed an expedition that brought back to Europe 10 captives from Africa. They delivered 10 captives from Africa to America and Gonçalves was the first European to buy Africans as slaves from black slave traders while Tristão, a knight of the household of Portugal’s Prince Henry, known as ‘the Navigator’, was believed to be the first European to reach the region of Guinea on the coast of West Africa.]]> 2021-10-29 23:30:51 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliyahsteele1/7rd2uaoxqa78tc4m/wish/1854890740 aaliyahsteele1 https://padlet.com/aaliyahsteele1/7rd2uaoxqa78tc4m/wish/1854927656 Slave ships were designed and equipped to deal with African resistance. Even though Africans captives were terrified  they would find any opportunity to escape. Africans sought to escape even before they reached the coast, running away from their captors when possible. On board a ship, however, escape became more difficult. Approximately one slave ship in ten experienced some form of African resistance, and the rate was much higher for vessels embarking captives in Senegambia, which had the highest incidence of shipboard rebellion of any African region.  Rebellions could sink ships, as the result of a major explosion or fire. Slave ships were designed to give the crew vantage points to bring their weaponry to play against the Africans. Other ships, and men of shore, rallied to the fight against rebellious Africans, and gory defeat was commonplace. Once defeated, African rebels were subjected to a ritual of grisly punishments and execution, all designed to illustrate to survivors (and to Africans watching on neighboring ships) the inevitable fate of defeated rebels.]]> 2021-10-30 00:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliyahsteele1/7rd2uaoxqa78tc4m/wish/1854927656 aaliyahsteele1 https://padlet.com/aaliyahsteele1/7rd2uaoxqa78tc4m/wish/1854940657  The Wheatleys' 18-year-old daughter, Mary, was Phillis's first tutor in reading and writing. John Wheatley and his family afforded Phillis an unprecedented education for an enslaved person, and one unusual for a woman of any race. By the age of 12, she was reading Greek and Latin classics in their original languages, as well as difficult passages from the Bible. At the age of 14, she wrote her first poem, "To the University of Cambridge, in New England". Recognizing her literary ability, the Wheatley family supported Phillis's education and left household labor to their other domestic enslaved workers. The Wheatleys often showed off her abilities to friends and family. Strongly influenced by her readings. And her first published poem was named "On Messrs. Hussey and Coffin"  and that made her the first African-American author of a published book or poetry.]]> 2021-10-30 00:39:33 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliyahsteele1/7rd2uaoxqa78tc4m/wish/1854940657 aaliyahsteele1 https://padlet.com/aaliyahsteele1/7rd2uaoxqa78tc4m/wish/1854945781

It was when Portuguese slave hunters kidnapped hundreds of Africans from Mendeland and transported them to a Spanish colony. During the traveling Erik Trautmann and some other slaves took over the ship and they had two sailors steer them towards Africa. But they steered it towards the United States and when they got there they was taken into custody. And they had a case and the Africans won and the Spanish government weren't responsible for returning them back to Africa so not a lot of people made it back]]> 2021-10-30 00:45:36 UTC https://padlet.com/aaliyahsteele1/7rd2uaoxqa78tc4m/wish/1854945781
