Defend your response well.Classmate’s post G, Oppermann: ?The most important consequence of the Atlantic slave trade would have been slaves coming over to America. This was the start to the large diversity of peoples in America. Sadly, Africans didn’t come to America as free. Even though they were not free people, they greatlycontributed to the growth of the American colonies. They did back breaking labor and helped colonies survive (Haiti and Barbados). They also helpedthe colonies develop agriculturally. The Africans knew how to grow crops and tend to them really well. On top of all of this, they brought their culturewith them. Their food, art, music, and more are an influence to America even to this day. Slavery became popular when America was foundedbecause it was an easy and cheap way to have the colonies progress. The slave owners could buy some slaves and put them to work without doingany work themselves! The slaves would work hard for hours a day with few benefits.The biggest part that gets me is how slavery lasted as long as it did. I may be judging with benefit of hindsight, but I would think that there wouldhave been a lot more people speaking up against slavery.W9&14: Chap 22& 25 W9 : Answer Terms & Names and Main ideas questions TERMS & NAMES?
