  2. SIOP • Today I will learn how trading routes helped the settlers advance in the New World. • My job is to map out the routes of materials used in the Columbian Exchange.

  3. Columbian Exchange • The Columbian Exchange was a sea trade connecting the “Old World” and the “New World”. This new trade system begin in the 1500's and progressing from then on, was a consequence of discovering the "New World" (look at Age of Eploration).

  4. New vs. Old • Exchanges between the "New World" and "Old World" was new foods(sugar, cassava, & potatoes), animals (goats, pigs, and horses), and different materials (furs, rum, etc).

  5. Who, what, when, where, & why?

  6. “The Federalist” • A Tobacco Plantation was the title page for the 1788 publication The Federalist. Authored by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison. • The Federalist is a collection of essays that is considered, even today, the "foremost commentary on the United States Constitution."

  7. Answer: • The publication, designed to win support for the newly proposed U.S. Constitution, does not deal with slavery, or even agriculture, much less a tobacco plantation.

  8. Meaning of images • The title page image, therefore, is meant to illustrate prosperity in the United States. • The image also infers how accepted slavery was among most whites at the time.

  9. Triangle Trade The Triangular Trade system three way trade between the colonies,the islands of the Caribbean and Africa.

  10. The voyage • On the first leg one the three leg voyage,ships from New England carried fish, lumber and other goods to the Caribbean islands, or West Indies.

  11. Part I • There, Yankee traders bought sugar and molasses, a dark syrup made of sugar canes. The ships sailed back to New England, where colonists used the molasses and sugar to make rum.

  12. Part II • On the second leg of ships carried rum, guns, and other goods from New England to the West Indies.

  13. Part III • On the final leg the ship carried cargo to the West Indies for sale. Many New England merchants got wealthy from the triangular trade.

  14. Homework: • Keep good notes! • Study nightly! • Do Current Events! • Check Study Island and Schoolrack weekly!
