The Slave Trade

A whiteboard video on the slave trade and the conditions of enslaved people carried to the Americas.

My students use the following textbook, some of whose units I have intended to summarize with these videos:

Alavosus, Laura, editor. Social Studies Alive! America's Past. Palo Alto: TCI, 2010.

The whiteboard designs and spoken commentary are all my own.

Very nice video to education society on history that is constantly trying to be erased no matter how sad as the video stated. sometimes we need to be sad to learn and not try to change or weaponize history to be able to respond in intellect instead of emotion and false narratives by polarizing factions in America. God bless+

If needed, use the trancript to save time on a computer, laptop or maybe tablet by clicking a button with 3 dots near the save button. Then click open transcript, if you do not see it, then your devic e is not capable of doing this.

We can choose to view slavery in a modern context or we can measure it in its own. Slavery for 1000’s of years has always been a component of commerce and America should not feel guilty that it was a proponent. Progressive thinking is only possible when abundance allows time for reflection edged on with new science. In a 100 years that we eat animals may be looked back on with equal disgust and guilt.. Context is everything.

Who were the main profiteers of the sale of salves? Who financed the slave trade? Who owned the ships that transported the slaves? Aren't these important questions about the history of the slave trade?
