they threw them overboard because they were too stubborn for example: the slave traders yell to row the boat but they're either tired or to weak to row and since they're either tired or weak they don't row as fast or as much and then the slave trader gets really mad causing him to throw the captives overboard to teach the others a lesson. or he'd throw them over to send someone else a message but #1 was a better example

Answer:

  They threw them to ensure the survival of the rest of the crew and to cash in the insurances of the slaves as cargo.

Explanation:

  The Zong massacre happened in 1781. It was a mass killing of more than 130 slaves on the hands of the British crew of the Zong ship, they were part of a syndicate that sailed through the Atlantic slave trade.

  During the journey there were some navigational mistakes that lead to a lack of water within the ship, so the crew decided to throw slaves overboard. They would no loose money because it was usual on those times to take on insurance on the lives of the slaves as cargo.

  I hope this answer helps you.

What events led to creation of the confedrate states of america and to the outbreak of the ivil war?
Dovator [93]
The 1860 election of Abraham Lincoln was a turning point for the United States. Throughout the tumultuous 1850s, the Fire-Eaters of the southern states had been threatening to leave the Union. With Lincoln’s election, they prepared to make good on their threats. Indeed, the Republican president-elect appeared to be their worst nightmare. The Republican Party committed itself to keeping slavery out of the territories as the country expanded westward, a position that shocked southern sensibilities. Meanwhile, southern leaders suspected that Republican abolitionists would employ the violent tactics of John Brown to deprive southerners of their slave property. The threat posed by the Republican victory in the election of 1860 spurred eleven southern states to leave the Union to form the Confederate States of America, a new republic dedicated to maintaining and expanding slavery. The Union, led by President Lincoln, was unwilling to accept the departure of these states and committed itself to restoring the country. Beginning in 1861 and continuing until 1865, the United States engaged in a brutal Civil War that claimed the lives of over 600,000 soldiers. By 1863, the conflict had become not only a war to save the Union, but also a war to end slavery in the United States. Only after four years of fighting did the North prevail. The Union was preserved, and the institution of slavery had been destroyed in the nation.
