About This Lesson
This is one of many lessons that I have uploaded on The Slave Trade. All of the lessons can be taught together; but each covers a topic so can also be picked up separately. For ease of locating; the title stem is the same: " Slave Trade". This is a full PowerPoint lesson; ready to teach; but you will want to adapt it / update it for your own context and any resources are also uploaded with it. This lesson explores the different interpretations of slavery.
This lesson is not focused and is confusing to follow. The idea is good, but the delivery is bad. For example, the lesson is trying to say that even though it was illegal to own another human being in the US after the 13th amendment, that doesn't mean the conditions of slavery were immediately gone. There are many forms of slavery. One of the quotes used is a poor example of a resource. It does not describe the conditions for what this organization considers slavery, it does not provide the name of the organization, it does not relate to abolition in the US in the late 1800s.
