try to find out more about famous black Americans

da fallen mir spontan Martin Luther King, Malcom X, Rosa Parks ein.

Wenn dich das Thema interessiert, ich musste damals in Englisch ein Referat darüber (und auch über die 3 oben genannten) halten und hab mir das Buch "Goin' down That Road - The African-American Journey" geholt (Cornelsen Verlag)

The slave triangle
It is a depressing piece of world history. The three main journeys made as part of the slave trade meant that it was called the slave triangle.

The first part of the triangle was called the outer passage when Europeans sailed to Africa and African rulers supplied Africans to European slavers in return for cheap manufactured goods, textiles and alcohol. The slaves were then transported across the Atlantic in the second part of the triangle (called The Middle Passage) and sold to work on plantations growing sugar, cotton, tobacco and many other crops. The final leg of the slave triangle was the Return Passage when goods like sugar and rum were brought back from America to Britain and other countries in Europe.

Many of Liverpool’s great trading and shipping companies, its great buildings, docks and industries owe their origins to the African slaves who suffered on the Middle Passage.

The slave trade
The early foundations of the Empire were laid through money from one terrible legacy: the slave trade. The slave triangle brought huge wealth to Britain at the expense of misery to millions.

The slave triangle was a simple and ruthlessly effective operation. An empty ship was sent to West Africa, where Britain had colonies and allies. Local chiefs would round up rival tribes and sell them to the British slavers. The ship, now full with slaves, set sail for the Caribbean.

Once in the Caribbean, the slaves were off-loaded at the British colonies of the West Indies. British plantation owners there needed cheap labour to produce coffee, sugar and spices - luxury goods in great demand back in Britain. The ships, now empty of slaves, loaded up with these luxury goods and returned to England.

The merchants who operated this trade made huge fortunes. They exported slaves from Africa for a small fee and brought back luxury items which could be sold at premium prices. The ports of Bristol and Liverpool were made wealthy through the slave trade.
