My Paragraph(The slave trade triangle)

Paragraph: One

The Atlantic slave trade triangle was a disgusting way to enslave Africans and separate them away from their family. It took away their human rights to live a normal life because everything they had is taken away, their food, homes, and families. When the slave traders arrived to Africa from Europe, they had guns and weapons. They gave it to the African kings so they could buy their African men, women and children. This was called ‘The First Passage’. The African kings viewed the people they sold, not as fellow Africans, but criminals, debtors, or prisoners of war from rival tribes. When the slave traders had the African Slaves, they took them on a ship, this was where the disgusting part happens, which was called ‘The Middle Passage’.

Paragraph: 2

During the middle passage,, death, raping, murdering, suicide took place. All of those things were inhumane.Things like this were happening because, either the slaves weren’t listening or taking orders so the Europeans would whip them to death. The white men made the African women lay on their back so they could rape them, and the slaves drowned themselves to death because they never pictured their future to be like this and especially for their child. It was the worst thing no human could ever imagine. The slaves were all bunched up because the trader wanted to fit as many slaves as possible., they didn’t get enough food or water. All the Europeans on the ship were taking charge of every single slave. They’d tied their hands together and make them dance in front of everyone to humiliate them. Until finally the ship reached America. This is where their lives as a slave began.

Paragraph 3

When the ship landed on America, the slaves were immediately sold by the Americans. They were sold because the masters needed slave children to play with their children and the older ones were sold to make money or cleaning. The slave children were sold to play with the master's own children, leaving their own family. After getting sold as a slave, they are separated from your loved ones. The older slaves were sold to work on the field to pick up cotton and tobacco while other female slaves had to clean the master's house. If they did not pick enough or disobeyed their masters orders then they would be punished. When the Europeans had enough cotton and tobacco they’d travelled back to Europe to exchange the cotton and tobacco for weapons and money this was called the third passage.
