The Atlantic Slave Trade Triangle was a cruel and disgusting trading system that started in the
15th century. This trading system was an evil trading system because it involved Africans being taken
away from their homes and being sold into slavery. The Europeans would bring guns and other weapons
and trade them to African Kings in exchange for slaves. The slaves involved men, women and even
children. This part of the Atlantic Slave Trade Triangle was called the first passage.
They were taken from their homes and country and put on slave ships like animals.

They were taken from their homes and country and put on slave ships like animals.
In the next passage they were forcefully put into ships. In the ships they were treated badly because
they were now in control of the traders and they did not have show them any human rights.
They would get whipped for trying to fight back and a lot of slaves died. Some slaves would starve and
some would get thrown out into the ocean. The ships would travel across the Atlantic to reach their
destination. This passage is called the middle passage. Once they arrived in America, a life
of punishment awaited them.

Once they arrive, they were auctioned as slaves. People would buy the slaves for different purposes
because the slaves were no longer free but property of the person who bought them.
Some would buy them to make them work on picking up cottons on the field.
Some would buy them to make them work in their kitchen and some would buy them for sexual purposes.
Life as a slave was very hard. They would work for hours and hours on the field.
They wouldn’t get paid and were even punished if they didn’t do enough. The slaves would also sing their
own made up song while working. The songs helped them work because it expressed how they’re feeling.
Some slaves tried to escape and if they are caught they would get killed. Then all of their stuff they
harvested like tobacco and cotton would get transported to Europe.
This passage is called the third passage. This would complete the Atlantic Slave Trade Triangle.
