Atlantic Slave Trade: buying and selling of Africans for work in the Americas • Triangular trade • Middle Passage: • Long voyage from Africa to America • Often very harsh and cruel • People crammed into ships, beaten, and given little food. • 20% of the people on these ships died

  10. Welcome to 1400 America!!! • Take an index card. • List down ALL major ingredients in the dish/food item you brought to share. • Take out your classwork assignments from yesterday (#1-14 on FE review; 1 outline for PFE review)

  11. New Rules for 7th Period • Be in your seats when the bell rings. • Have ALL materials ready when the bell rings (pencils sharpened, paper, etc). • Stay in your seats unless you have permission to leave your seat. • Raise your hand if you wish to speak or have a question—EVEN IF you just want to ask a neighbor something. • Use all the time you’re given in class to complete assignments. Failure to comply to these rules THE FIRST TIME will result in an automatic morning teacher detention. Since it is week 16 and we STILL can’t behave appropriately when we have a sub, we will practice substitute behavior for THE REST OF THE SEMESTER.

  16. Global Trade • settling of Americas and growth of trade started an economic revolution • revolution led to capitalism: based on private ownership of property and right of a business to earn a profit on money it has invested • revolution also led to joint-stock companies: investors combine their money to start a business and share in the profits

  17. Growth of Mercantilism • European governments followed the idea of mercantilism, which says that a country’s power depended on its wealth (getting more gold and silver increased wealth) • Selling more than buying (exporting more than importing) = a favorable balance of trade • Colonies helped to provide goods that could be sold in trade
