Transatlantic Slave Traders and Modern Slavery

These resources can be used as a starter or conclusion to a unit on the transatlantic slave trade or as part of a Year 7 introductory unit on the relevance of studying history. The short film A Statue For A Slaver presents a brief explanation of transatlantic slavery, the role of slave traders and plantation owners, the triangle of trade, conditions for slaves and dates of abolition. The lesson plan then leads to discussion of modern slavery.
