Before the the Mayflower (Per.3 & Per. 7)


L. Bennett examines African/European interaction before and at the beginning of the slave trade. Let's use him to examine our newest essential question: How do Europeans justify the enslavement of Blacks?

1. What interesting facts does Bennett find?
2. How do Black and White rulers interact?
3. How do Blacks and Whites of lower classes interact?
4. How are Indentured servants treated?
5. What environmental factors encourage Africans to engage in large scale human
trafficking?
6. Why do Blacks begin to be viewed as inferior? When does it happen.
