| Question | Answer |
| What happened on leg 1 of the Triangular Trade? | Ships would carry finished goods such as pots and pans from Britain to Africa |
| What happened on leg 2 of the Triangular Trade? | Finished goods would be traded for slaves in Africa and the slaves would be taken to the Americas |
| What happened on leg 3 of the Triangular Trade? | Slaves would be sold on at the Americas and the profits from the slaves would be used to buy sugar, which then would be sold when the ship returned to Britain |
| What was the Middle Passage? | The ship journey that the slaves were on, also known as leg 2- Africa to the Americas |
| What were the conditions like on the Middle Passage? Name five. | There was no bedding so the slaves would lie on wooden boards, human mess lined the hold, the food was a bland mush, it was very hot with no ventilation, and the slaves were allowed only one pint of water per day. |
| What was 'tight pack' storage? | Slaves would be crammed into a hold barely five feet high, there was a higher chance of disease/death from being so close together. More slaves could be transported at one time |
| What was 'loose pack' storage? | The slaves would have enough room to lie out slightly and there was less chance of disease, but it meant that less slaves could be transported at one time |
| Name four ways slaves rebelled on the Middle Passage | Mutiny, suicide, starving themselves, jumping overboard |
| Why did so little slaves resist on the Middle Passage? Give at least four reasons. | They had no leader, no weapons, they were weak from disease/hunger, frightened of the slavers, saw how severe punishments were, everyone spoke different languages so there was no communication |
| How did crew on the slave ships prevent rebellion? Give at least three examples. | The crew treated the slaves nicely, interpreters were used to explain that the whites were not cannibals, instructions were given on how to behave, they were allowed on deck sometimes, and they were given tobacco on certain days |
