The Triangular Trade and Middle Passage, AA in the Revolution, and Nat Turner

This is a three-lesson unit from Reading Through History. The first lesson documents the Triangular Trade route and Middle Passage of the slave trade which existed from the 16th to the 19th Century. The second lesson documents the various roles that African Americans played during the American Revolution as well as prominent African American figures of the war, including Crispus Attucks and Phillis Wheatley. The third lesson explains slave codes and the significance of Nat Turner's slave rebellion in Virginia.

For each lesson, there is a reading followed by three pages of student activities. The activities include multiple-choice questions, a student response essay question, a guided reading activity, and vocabulary activities. There is enough material to cover about 90 minutes of class time.

This unit is part of our African American History Volume I bundle, which is available here: African American History Volume I
