Fulfill the Promise! Be a part of the solution NOT the problem. 
R1) Early in the year we talked about the difference between raw goods and manufactured goods.
What is the difference between the two AND give an example of both a raw good and a manufactured good that can be made from it?
cocoa is made into chocolate
PK1) A) Why was slavery the necessary evil AND why does slavery last as long as it did?
because without it america wouldn’t be here
B) The international slave trade (IST) was outlawed in 1807. Obviously, this did not end slavery, but increased it like crazy.
What do you think changed at that point that made the amount of slaves explode (hint: there were two things)
needed more to pick and plant
C) Prior to the IST being outlawed in 1807 slaves were traded in a massive, multi-country structure called the “Triangle Trade“.
Why do you think it was called the Triangle Trade AND what do you think were some of the goods that were traded for African slaves?
because the ta=rad paths were shaped like a triangle and they were traded for things like iron and food
R1) Early in the year we talked about the difference between raw goods and manufactured goods.
What is the difference between the two AND give an example of both a raw good and a manufactured good that can be made from it?
Raw goods are natural goods from the earth like an apple. Manufactured goods are goods that have been processed like apple juice.
PK1) A) Why was slavery the necessary evil AND why does slavery last as long as it did?
Slavery was the necessary evil because it was evil but without it we wouldn’t be here like we are today. Slavery lasted as long as it did because slavery was expanding
B) The international slave trade (IST) was outlawed in 1807. Obviously, this did not end slavery, but increased it like crazy.
What do you think changed at that point that made the amount of slaves explode (hint: there were two thin
Eli Whitney had made the cotton gin and it took twenty times faster to process the cotton so they need more slaves picking cotton.
C) Prior to the IST being outlawed in 1807 slaves were traded in a massive, multi-country structure called the “Triangle Trade“.
Why do you think it was called the Triangle Trade AND what do you think were some of the goods that were traded for African slaves?
It was called the Triangle trade because it was the way they trade and it ended with whoever has the most money
RBP1) What 2 things happened in 1807 that changed the future of slavery dramatically for the worse AND did they change it? (Hint: 1 was an invention)
The machine that picks seeds out of cotton was invented and this made a need for more cotton and slaves
RPB2) What happens to the value of men, women, and children as time moves on AND what causes the change?
The value of children went up then down women were cheap at first and then got expensive for breeding purposes and men were slightly less expensive
RBP1) What 2 things happened in 1807 that changed the future of slavery dramatically for the worse AND how did they change it? (Hint: 1 was an invention) interstate is illegal and the cotton gen was made
RPB2) What happens to the value of men, women, and children as time moves on AND what causes the change? men prices went lower and women prices went higher and children slaves were legal that women can reproduce more slaves can mate
RBP1) What 2 things happened in 1807 that changed the future
of slavery dramatically for the worse AND how did they change it? (Hint: 1 was an invention)
It was the cotton gin and it was worse because it meant that they now needed more slaves to pick cotton to always keep the cotton gins busy.
RPB2) What happens to the value of men, women, and children as time moves on AND what causes the change?
The value of women skyrocketed once people realized you could now breed new slaves.
RBP1) What 2 things happened in 1807 that changed the future of slavery dramatically for the worse AND how did they change it? (Hint: 1 was an invention)
The IST (International Slave Trade) was outlawed and the cotton gin was invented causing interstate slave trade to explode and the demand for slaves to plant and pick cotton increased because the cotton gin was 250 times faster than a human at getting the seeds out of cotton.
RPB2) What happens to the value of men, women, and children as time moves on AND what causes the change?
The value of men decreased because you only needed one man to breed with multiple women and give you more male slaves, the value of women increased because they could reproduce from one man, and trading children became legal but the price stayed low because women could give you child slaves.
