Answer: Out of the roughly 20 million who were taken from their homes and sold into slavery, half didn't complete the journey to the African coast, most of those dying along the way. And the worst was yet to come. The captives were about to embark on the infamous Middle Passage, so called because it was the middle leg of a three-part voyage -- a voyage that began and ended in Europe. The first leg of the voyage carried a cargo that often included iron, cloth, brandy, firearms, and gunpowder. Upon landing on Africa's "slave coast," the cargo was exchanged for Africans. Fully loaded with its human cargo, the ship set sail for the Americas, where the slaves were exchanged for sugar, tobacco, or some other product. The final leg brought the ship back to Europe. The African slave boarding the ship had no idea what lay ahead. Africans who had made the Middle Passage to the plantations of the New World did not return to their homeland to tell what happened to those people who suddenly disappeared. Sometimes the captured Africans were told by the white men on the ships that they were to work in the fields. But this was difficult to believe, since, from the African experience, tending crops took so little time and didn't require many hands. So what were they to believe? More than a few thought that the Europeans were cannibals. Olaudah Equiano, an African captured as a boy who later wrote an autobiography, recalled

Which ones are true and which are false??? please help
ahrayia [7]
A is False. Sugar crops were just like any other crop that required hard work from slaves. It was so hard that they often chose to get beaten instead of working because they considered it to be worth it. That's why sugar plantation owners started thinking of various ways to get slaves to work that didn't involve physical abuse.

B is True. The sugar produced came from sugar cane which grew easily in the climate where the Portuguese land owners lived. They could grow a lot of it and export it all around the world, from the Americas to Europe and back. That's why they needed many slaves.

C is false. European people traded with Africans as far back as the roman Empire. This was mostly in the north of Africa but the kingdoms in the south like Mali were known worldwide. When people started looking for India around the south of Africa, they established tradings posts along the way.

D should be false. Sugar had to be extremely secure when transported to Europe because it is sugar and we all know how easily it melts in water. If anything happened to it then entire earnings could be lost and this would be detrimental for both consumers and producers.

E is true. Everyone wanted sugar and wanted to control sugar productions. That's why there were many incentives for even those who became free to start their own colonies somewhere in order to produce sugar. Places in the South America never seemed to produce enough.

F is false. Portuguese laborers did not work on plantations. Plantations had workers that were slaves and those who were indentured slaves from all around the world. The workers worked elsewhere and found other jobs or they found their own plantations.
