Slave Trade Triangle Paragraph

What is the Slave Trade Triangle and how were the freedoms and human rights of slaves taken away?

Paragraph 1:

The Slave Trade Triangle was a dreadful trade system that carries guns, weapons, goods, and include selling African slaves who have lost their freedom and human rights. European sailed from Europe to Africa, they used the sale of guns and weapons on to the African Kings for the return of buying their slaves. African slaves such as men, women, and children were taken away from their families and country against their will. This part was called the First Passage of the Slave Trade Triangle. The next part of this Slave Trade Triangle system would be the murderous treatment of Americans on the slave's ship which will be the Middle Passage.

Paragraph 2:

The Middle Passage was those routes that went from Africa to the New World including both the Caribbean and the Americas. Africans were taken to the Caribbean and sold. The rest of the slaves were shipped to America and processed for auctions where the Cotton, Tobacco, Sugar Cane and other products slaves produced. During the journey, slaves were being tortured, murdered, and killed. Other slaves decided to kill themselves due to their situation by simply jumping off the ship to drown in the Atlantic Ocean. It’s either because they didn’t follow the commands of the slavers or they became a rebel against the crew and captains. Men were made to dance to keep them fit, women were being raped by the slavers, and some children were being killed. The next step would be how Africans live their lives in America as a slave.

Paragraph 3:

The other Africans were shipped to America and they spent their whole life working in there until death. Young slaves play with the Master's children. Adult slaves work on a farm, and will be picking cotton and tobaccos, and when they had enough, all cottons, tobaccos and other products are put back on ships and sent to Europe and once the ships get to Europe, then more guns and weapons are purchased. Being a slave is hard because if you didn't collect enough cotton and tobacco or disobeyed your Master's orders, then you would be punished. The common punishments were whipping, slaves coffles and branding. You will be punished by an overseer whip when you attempted to run away and this will leave a deep scar on to your body. Slave coffles were used to move the slaves across land masses, so they wouldn't escape. But they're usually used during the march to the West Africa Coast. You would have these coffles around your necks with hands tied. Branding your skin in order for the owner trademarks. The next step would be escaping from slavery to freedom using the Underground Railroad by the help of Harriet Tubman.
