Triangle Trade

European Background

• Portuguese started African slave trade in 1441

• First Africans in Hispanola in 1505

• 1450-1850 ~12 million Africans sent to Americas

Why Africans?• Native Americans dying off Some degree of disease resistance

• No muskets and gunpowder• Africans participated in trade by enslaving others, selling debtors and criminals, and kidnapping

• Skilled workers – Knew how to extract precious ore from mines

– Familiar with soils and crops

• Not familiar with the land—making escape less likely

Portuguese Slave Trade

• The Portuguese population was too small to provide a large number of colonists.

• The sugar plantations required a large labor force.

• Slaves filled this demand.

Slave Trade and Sugar

• Portuguese crop growers extended the use of slave labor to South America.

• Because of this, Brazil would eventually become the wealthiest of the sugar-producing lands in the western hemisphere.

European Slave Trade

Plantations• The first was established by the Spanish on Hispaniola in 1516.

• Originally the predominant crop was sugar. In addition to sugar, plantations produced crops like tobacco, indigo, and cotton.

• In the 1530s Portuguese began organizing plantations in Brazil, and Brazil became the world’s leading supplier of sugar.

Plantations• Labor intensive= HARD WORK

• Relied almost exclusively on large amounts of slave labor supervised by small numbers of European or Euro-American managers.

Triangle of Trade?Triangle of Trade?

Europeans began the Atlantic slave trade in the 1500s. Their colonies in the Americas needed labor to work on large plantations. European traders sold enslaved Africans to colonists. Families were split up, and many people died. By the time the slave trade ended in the 1800s, millions of Africans had been taken from their homes.
