Question Answered step-by-step 1. The Atlantic Slave Trade, which unfolded for nearly 400 years,… 1. The Atlantic Slave Trade, which unfolded for nearly 400 years, transformed the demographic, economic and cultural makeup of the Atlantic World at the expense of African slaves who labored on plantations of varying kinds in the “New” World. Forced from their villages and communities against their will, African slaves ventured to unknown destinations where they struggled to adapt to, and survive in, inhospitable living circumstances that would often push them to their bodily limits. Describe the process by which the Atlantic Slave Trade first emerged and developed in its earliest phases and how it shaped and affected the economies and societies of the “Atlantic World,” especially colonial America. 2. The expansion of slavery between 1790 and 1860 ushered in a new developmental phase of the “Peculiar Institution” in antebellum America, as white masters from the eastern seaboard states transported their slave property into the terrain of the “deep South” with the intention of exploiting its fertile, agricultural lands for the purpose of growing cotton. But the process of transporting and selling slaves across the “Deep South” came at the physical and mental expense of entire slave communities that had endured years of oppression and torture at the hands of their masters. Please describe the nature and various dimensions of slave treatment on southern plantations, and how slaves coped with, and overcame, the material and psychological constraints imposed on them during antebellum America.
