Enslaved Africans in the Atlantic Slave Trade

4 lessons that focus on this chilling chapter in human history. Millions of enslaved Africans are forced into bondage and shipped across the Atlantic to work on the plantations that European farmers had carved out of the America (after killing off the native peoples that used to live there).

The four lessons focus on:

1. The transatlantic slave trade
2. A focus on 1619 and the first enslaved Africans arriving in North America.
3. A depth study of life on a North American plantation.
4. The Stono Rebellion and how enslaved Africans fought back.

As a bonus lesson there is also a review and a series of discussion points / activities on Reni Eddo-Lodge’s “Why I am no longer talking to white people about race”, a useful jumping off point for a discussion on how the legacy of slavery and racism still impacts our societies today.
