Trade
Section 3: Colonial Latin America
Visual Summary
How are the Americas
linked to Africa?
The demand for enslaved Africans increased
dramatically after Europeans began to settle
in the Americas. The Cape Coast Castle in
Ghana is one of the forts where enslaved
Africans were held until ships arrived to take
them to the Americas. This fort could hold
about 1,500 slaves usually locked in dark,
crowded dungeons for many weeks. Today,
the Cape Coast Castle contains a museum
that allows people to learn about slavery. In
this chapter you will learn about the
exploration of new lands and its global
impact.
• Why might people want to visit the Cape
Coast Castle?
• Does slavery occur in any parts of the
world today?
Exploration and
Expansion

The Atlantic Slave
Trade
How did European
expansion and the slave
trade affect the people of
Africa?
Colonial Latin America
How did Portugal and
Spain profit from their
colonies in Latin America?
The BIG Idea
Competition Among Countries Europeans began
exploring the world in the 1400s, and several
nations experienced economic heights through
worldwide trade.

the world.
Trade, Colonies, and Mercantilism (cont.)
• Colonies provided raw materials and
markets for finished goods.
• To bring in more gold, nations tried to have a
favorable balance of trade and export more
goods than they imported.

subsidies and improved transportation
systems.
Trade, Colonies, and Mercantilism (cont.)

the triangular trade that connected Europe,
Africa, and the Americas.

1500 and the late 1800s.
Atlantic Slave Trade, 1500–1600s
Trade, Colonies, and Mercantilism (cont.)
• One reason for the high number of exported
slaves was the high mortality rate, especially
during the Middle Passage, the journey
across the Atlantic Ocean.

protested but were ignored by
African and European slave

EARLY EXPLORATION of West
Africa, India, and the Americas

Africa to India.
•
Spanish ships sailed west to the
Americas.

ruled by the Aztec and Inca.

Diseases introduced by Spanish explorers killed much of
the Native American population.
•
By the late 1600s, the Dutch, French, and English entered
the rivalry for new lands and trade.
AFRICAN SLAVE TRADE of Europe,
Asia, and the Americas
• Before the new exploration, the
primary market for enslaved
Africans had been Southwest Asia.
• The demand for plantation laborers
in the Americas greatly increased
slave trade.
• Enslaved Africans were part of the triangular trade
between Europe, Africa and Asia, and the Americas.
• In Africa, the slave trade led to increased warfare,
depopulation, and the deterioration of society.
COLONIAL EMPIRES of Latin America
• The Portuguese and Spanish
profited from their colonial
empires in Latin America.
• Peninsulares were the top
social class, followed by
creoles, mestizos and
mulattoes, and finally enslaved
Africans and Native Americans.
