In Chapter 14 it talks a lot about the Atlantic Slave Trade. The Atlantic Slave Trade was the deportation of millions of slaves, specifically African Americans, to Americas. Slave owners would trade slaves for many different things such food products, clothing, and other materialistic things. This slave trade route was located between the Atlantic Ocean, this was because countries such as Africa, North America, and Europe were the main contributors for these slaves. Africa was very important because this is where they got slaves. They then transported slaves to Europe were they would be sold to slave owner and then traded for another product. Thus this created the Atlantic Slave Trade.

However, some slaves weren't slave and bought into slaves, instead they were born into it. In some cases, people have made deals with others for something and in return they may be your servant for a period of time. Others may have been imprisoned and are now they are captured. This may be considered slave imprisonment.

The slave trade and the Kingdom of Kongo:

1.) The state of Kongo welcomed the Portuguese and thought that having an alliance with the Portuguase would help them.
2.) Royal Family converted to Christainity and welcomed European guns, cattle, and horses
3.) Seven Kongoles were sent to Portugual for education
4.) Portuguase sent priests, artistans, merchants and soliders

To me this sounded like the Portuguase came over to the Kingdom of Kongo and took over. It says in the passage that "Kongo was in disarray and the authority of its rulers were greatly underminded." (Pg 705)

The Slave Trade and the Kingdom of Asante:

1.) The Kingdom of Asante had a merchant propective. They were heavily invested in the slave trade industry.
2.) Many slaves in this kingdom was from acts of war. Meaning that they were prisoners of those who conquered them.

Anthony Langarica World History 4-10-19 Topic: Early Slavery in America Audience: College Students // The Next Generation Why is topic important? I believe this topic is important to talk about because it teaches us the history of our country as well as the history of people from different backgrounds. In addition it’s important to know about slavery because it shows how it has affected many people and countries. 2-4 Key Ideas: 1.) Atlantic Slave Trade- 10 million Africans were enslaved and transported to Europe and the Americas between the 15th and 19th centuries. During the 15th century when Portugal, and subsequently other European kingdoms, were finally able to expand overseas and reach Africa. The Portuguese first began to kidnap people from the west coast of Africa and to take those they enslaved back to Europe. Slave trade played an important role in providing British industry with access to raw materials. This contributed to the increased production of ma...

Chapter 21 Summary

Anthony Langarica World History 4-2-19 Chapter 21 In Chapter 21 it discussed the end of communism as well as socialism. Communism is a "political theory advocating class war and leading the society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs." This was inspired by the teachings of Karl Marx. Karl Marx "was a German philosopher, economist, historian, sociologist, political theorist, journalist and socialist revolutionary."  He beleived that people can "achieve their goals peacefully and through a democratic process, those who defined themselves as communists in the 20th century disdained such reformism and advocated uncompromising revolution." (Pg 930) Socialism is something different however. Socialism is a "political and economic theory of social organization which advocates that the means of production, distribution, and exchange should be owned and regulated by the community...

Hallmarks of NDNU and what I learn from them

Anthony Langarica 3-14-19 World History Their are two Hallmarks at NDNU that stand out to me out of the seven this institution has. The first one that stands out to me is the Hallmark 2 and the second Hallmark that stands out is number 5. Hallmark two states that " We honor the dignity and sacredness of each person." This stands out to me because this means that we respect one another. We also dont take anyone for granted and cherish each person as an equal. Hallmark 5 states "We embrace the gift of diversity." I like this Hallmark in particular because in the San Fransico area their are people from many different backgrounds. We embrace these backgrounds and the cultures of others. An example of this would be Chinatown. Chinatown has the China feel to it, embracing their culture even though they are not in their home land. We can see all around us how these Hallmarks come into play with our lifes without us knowing it.
