      • Final Review
9.10c The decimation of indigenous populations in the Americas influenced the growth of the Atlantic slave trade. The trade of enslaved peoples resulted in exploitation, death, and the creation of wealth.
        Students will examine how the demand for labor, primarily for sugar cultivation and silver mining, influenced the             growth of the trade of enslaved African peoples. 
       Students will investigate European and African roles in the development of the slave trade, and investigate the                conditions and treatment of enslaved Africans during the Middle Passage and in the Americas.
