Hi There,
This week for Social Studies we have been learning about the Slave Trade Triangle. That ocurred between the last 16th and 19th century. Back then, the slavery was a big thing in the Americas. They could take people from western Africa to work with them and without them payment, they just do it to exchange there goals.
How exaclty were African enslaved? They all kipnap them and put them on this ship. They had to lied down side to side, very close to each other so they had no presonal place back then! They had no food no drinks or even going to the toilet. It's sad to see that happen back then, According to researches and scientists, approximately 12.5 million Africans were enslaved in the Americas.
This is my link to to the passage around the countries as well just information about all of it.
What happens in Human Trafficking? The most common reason why human trafficking happens is for adultery, even children, they are sold for their bodies. But we must stand together against a torture and unfair treatment others do to one. He is known for escaping and freeing enslaved people. She conducted Underground Railroads from South America to Northern States or to Canada, it was for the slaves to escape to territories where they could be free.
In Africa, the use of music is important and valued, back when slavery was a thing, they use music as a way to pass messages and to escape from being slave-captive. They are called the "Spirituals". One of the spiritual songs used was "Wade in the water".
Here is the song:
This Wade in the water is another way of saying walk on the water to point out to get off the ship and into the water because as stated earlier, going through the water makes the dogs not be able to track them.
What is sad that slaverys still happens up today and I wish it never ever happened. We need to STOP SLAVERYS.

ReplyDeleteHi Keyana,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this writing, specifically because you added rhetorical questions. I reckon those were what was keeping me interested. If I were you I would've added a video of the song so I could hear it... Overall great writing and keep up the great work
Hi Keyana,
ReplyDeleteThis is a really great work that you have done in Social Studies, about The Slave Trade Triangle. You're writing is structured and you have explained everything well. I like how you've added in your map to show everyone what you were talking about. Keep up the good work!
