What was a major reason of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade

1 answer:

8 0

A main cause of the trade was the colonies that European countries were starting to develop. In America, for instance, which was a colony of England, there was a demand for many labourers for the sugar, tobacco and cotton plantations. Paid labourers were too expensive, and the indigenous people had largely been wiped out by disease and conflict, so the colonisers turned to Africa to provide cheap labour in the form of slaves.

The excerpt below if from a speech by Senator Albert J. Beveridge to the US Senate on January 9, 1900.

Fantom [35]

Based on the excerpt and the speech in it, we can infer that the American imperialists saw the Philippines as a useful base for increasing American trade with East Asia.

The views of the American imperialists were that:

The Philippines were owned by the United States
The Philippines were to be used as a base to penetrate China and its markets

The American imperialists believed that the Philippines were theirs and that they had the right to use it as they pleased including as a means to reach the valuable markets of China and the rest of East Asia.

In conclusion, the imperialists viewed the Philippines as a gateway to the East.
