Immigration and Slavery SSUSH2b Describe examine the Middle Passage, the growth of the African population and their contributions assistances, including but not limited to architecture, agriculture, and foodways.
Objectives • Describe the conditions under which enslaved Africans came to the Americas. • Explain why slavery became part of the colonial economy. • Identify the restrictions placed on enslaved Africans in the colonies. • Describe how African culture influenced American culture.
Terms and People • triangular trade – a three-way trade between the colonies, the islands of the Caribbean, and Africa • racism – the belief that one race is superior or inferior to another • slave codes – strict laws that restricted the rights and activities of slaves
How did slavery develop in the colonies and affect colonial life? Spanish and Portuguese settlers were the first to bring enslaved Africans to the Americas. Slavery spread to the colonies of other European countries, where it became a regular part of trade and provided cheap (free) labor to Southern plantations.
The British, Dutch, and French entered the slave trade. In time, English colonists—especially from New England—were actively shipping enslaved Africans across the Atlantic.
More than 10 million enslaved Africans were transported to the Americas between the 1500s and the 1800s. Slave traders set up posts along the African coast. Africans who lived on the coast made raids into the interior, seeking captives to sell to the Europeans.
Half of the captives died on forced marches to the coast, some of which were as long as 300 miles. Once they arrived at the coasts, captives were traded for guns and other goods. Then they were sent across the Atlantic Ocean on a brutal voyage known as the Middle Passage.
To increase their profits, some slave-ship captains crammed the maximum number of captives on board. As a result of the foul conditions, 15 to 20 percent of enslaved Africans died or committed suicide during the Middle Passage.
In the Americas, healthy enslaved Africans were auctioned off, and families often were separated. About 500,000 enslaved Africans ended up in British North America.
By about 1700, slave traders in the British colonies had developed a regular routine, known as the triangular trade.
$ $ $ Although the triangular trade was illegal under the Navigation Acts, many New England merchants violated the rules because it made them wealthy. $ $ $ $
The first enslaved Africans in the colonies may have been treated as servants, and some eventually were freed. But as the need for cheap labor grew, colonies made slavery permanent. Some colonies tried to ban slavery, but it eventually became legal in all the colonies.
Why did slavery take root in the colonies? • The plantation system led the southern economy to depend on slavery. • Planters preferred slaves because while indentured servants were freed after their terms were over, slaves were slaves for life.
Not every African in America was a slave, but slavery came to be restricted to people of African descent, and slavery was thus linked to racism. Most English colonists thought they were superior to Africans. They thought it was their duty to convert Africans to Christianity and European ways.
Colonial authorities wrote slave codes that said enslaved people could not: • meet in large numbers or own weapons. • leave a plantation without permission. • learn to read and write. Slave codes also said that masters who killed slaves could not be tried for murder.
African culture influenced American culture: • Craftsworkers in cities used Africanstyles of quilts, furniture, and other objects. • Africandrums and banjos became part of American music. • Africanfolk tales became part of American culture. ♪ ♫

The Great Awakening SSUSH2d Explain the role of the Great Awakening in creating unity in the colonies and challenging traditional authority.
What is the Great Awakening? • The Great Awakening was a movement rooted in spiritual growth which brought a national identity to Colonial America • Certain Christians began to disassociate themselves with the established/institutional approach to worship • People began to go to large gatherings for up to days at a time and worship and pray
When was the Great Awakening? • First Great Awakening took place during the 1730’s-1740’s in colonial America
Reasons for The Great Awakening • People felt that religion was dry, dull and distant • Preachers felt that people needed to be concerned with inner emotions as opposed to outward religious behavior • People in the New England area could now read and interpret the Bible for themselves (individualism rather than institutionalism)
Key People From the Great Awakening • George Whitfield: Big name preacher in London who made many trips to America to preach • Was called a “giant” in the pulpit because of his booming voice and authority shown in the pulpit • He became an itinerant evangelist • Given credit for beginning the Great Awakening
Key People From the Great Awakening • Jonathan Edwards: Famous for his sermon “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” • When Edwards preached his focus was more Hell based and intended to scare sinners to salvation • Quote from his famous sermon: “The god that holds you over the pit of Hell, much as one holds a spider or other loathsome insect over the fire abhors you…his wrath toward you burns like a fire; he looks upon you as worthy of nothing else but to be cast into the fire”
The Great Awakening • Who- Jonathan Edwards- preacher that is thought to start the revivals in Massachusetts and set the stage for other preachers to follow in the other colonies George Whitefield- a traveling preacher from London that spurred the causes of the Great Awakening in the southern colonies
Outcomes of the Great Awakening • Birth of deep religious convictions in the colonies • Colonists could be bold when confronting religious authority, and break away if they were not meeting expectations • Just as with religion, political power did not reside with English Monarchs, but with colonists self-governance
