How did the Europeans obtain their slaves
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

During the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, European traders started to get involved in the Slave Trade. European traders had previously been interested in African nations and kingdoms, such as Ghana and Mali, due to their sophisticated trading networks. Traders then wanted to trade in human beings.


They took enslaved people from western Africa to Europe and the Americas. At first this was on quite a small scale but the Slave Trade grew during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, as European countries conquered many of the Caribbean islands and much of North and South America.


Europeans who settled in the Americas were lured by the idea of owning their own land and were reluctant to work for others. Convicts from Britain were sent to work on the plantations but there were never enough so, to satisfy the tremendous demand for labour, planters purchased slaves.


They wanted the enslaved people to work in mines and on tobacco plantations in South America and on sugar plantations in the West Indies. Millions of Africans were enslaved and forced across the Atlantic, to labour in plantations in the Caribbean and America.


Slavery changed when Europeans became involved, as it led to generation after generation of peoples being taken from their homelands and enslaved forever. It led to people being legally defined as chattel slaves.


A chattel slave is an enslaved person who is owned for ever and whose children and children's children are automatically enslaved. Chattel slaves are individuals treated as complete, property to be bought and sold. Chattel slavery was supported and made legal by European governments and monarchs. This type of enslavement was practised in European colonies from the sixteenth century onwards.


Europeans wanted lots of slaves, so people were captured to be made slaves.

Enslaved Africans were transported huge distances to work. They had no chance of returning home.

Children whose parents were enslaved became slaves as well.

How were they enslaved?



Although some of the enslaved were forced to travel long distances to reach the coast, the costs of moving slaves, including the risk of deaths, meant that the homeland of the majority of enslaved Africans, who were taken away by the British, lay within a few hundred kilometres of the Atlantic coast.


Slave forts were established all along the coast of West Africa, to house captured Africans in holding pens (barracoons) awaiting transport. They were equipped with up to a hundred guns and cannons to defend European interests on the coast, by keeping competitors at bay. There were approximately 80 castles dotted along the slave-trading coast. The forts had the same basic design, with narrow windowless stone dungeons for captured Africans and fine European residences.


The largest of these forts was Elmina, in modern day Ghana. The fort had been fought over by the Portuguese, the Dutch and finally the British.  At the height of the trade, Elmina housed 400 company personnel, including the company director, as well as 300 'castle slaves'. The whole commerce surrounding the Slave Trade had created a town outside the castle, of about 1000 Africans.


In other cases, the enslaved Africans were kept on board the ships, until sufficient numbers were captured, waiting perhaps for months in cramped conditions, before setting sail.


The ethnic groups of the enslaved Africans


The British traders covered the West African coast from Senegal in the north to the Congo in the south, occasionally venturing to take slaves from South-East Africa in present day Mozambique.


Some areas or venues on African Atlantic coast were more attractive to traders looking for the supply of enslaved people than others. This attractiveness was dependant on the level of support from the local chieftains rather than geographical barriers or the demography of local populations. Where there was cooperation it was easier to maintain order and efficiency in the process of the trade.

How did the public feel about expansionist efforts at the turn of the twentieth century?
Alex787 [66]
Americans were convinced that expansion would boost trade with the Latin America region, help spread democracy and civilization as well as expand the territories.

America increasingly supported expansionism in the late 1800's mainly becasue of the influence of the manifest destiny. In addition, the fashion around at the time was centered around territorial expansions and therefore some Americans felt USA should not be left out. Americans were convinced that expansion would boost trade with the Latin America region, help spread democracy and civilization.

Could someone please help me with these questions about Manifest Destiny I beg
notsponge [240]
Okay: 1: Manifest Destiny was the belief by many Americans that it was God’s Will that they spread the continent and teach their culture,religion, etc.
2: The impact of Manifest Destiny led to the US trying to expand west, this would lead to the Mexican-American War and Mexican Cession.
3: it was more of a good thing for the US, if they expanded west, they have both borders, they have more resources, and they would have more land for slavery to spread.
4: I guess that’s your opinion
5: 2 pros: Allows the US to secure their borders, Allows the US to gain more territory and gain the resources, Cons: It led to many Native Americans being killed and their land being took, it further led to sectionalism in the US. It’s impacts would eventually lead to a war between Mexico and the US, it also further divides the US because Polk, wanted the land for slavery to spread however many US people did not want that to happen.

The confrontation is often considered the closest the Cold War came to escalating into a full-scale nuclear war.
