There are a lot of possible rewards that might come from exploring the seas for new lands. For example, finding new trading post is a great reward for people. Europeans found lots of trading posts while they were exploring through the seas. They found new spices, gems, and jewelry in other countries that they explored. Europeans' economy was rising, because they sold the goods The risks involved on a voyage were getting lost in the middle of the ocean, starvation, natural disasters, and also the attacks from native people. These risks are deadly and lots of people can get killed during the voyage.
 * __The Age of Exploration:Would you go?__ **
 * What possible rewards might come from exploring the seas for new lands?
 * What are the risks involved in embarking on a voyage into the unknown?

I would talk to them and try to associate with other people. Socialization between other people can help me to discover new things. For example, I might get to see new spices or goods, gems, and jewelry. Also, it will help with trading materials with other people. Materials that can help continuing on the voyage or that can contribute to the country.
 * What will you do if you actually run into other people?


 * __Before You Leave__**

Your final task before leaving for the long voyage is FOR BOTH to look up **ONE** piece of new navigation technology you will be using so that you can teach your partner about how you will be using it. //**THIS INFORMATION COULD SAVE YOUR LIVES!**// Simply, search for ONE of the following tools and write a few sentences describing WHAT the instrument is and HOW it is used. (You can also look at p. 97 in your text to get you started.)

If I was a captain of the ship that in charge of a long voyage, I would use a compass. Compass will allow to navigate where we are going, so we don't get lost in the middle of the sea. There should be no worry about starvation and other risks with this compass. Compass also allows us to know what direction we are going by matching the arrows on South and North.

Identify the causes of African slavery.

-European colonists in the Americas started to enslave Africans for cheap labor.
- Rulers of the Muslim in Africa justified enslavement that non-Muslim prisoners of war could be bought or sold as slaves, however slaves had some legal rights and lots of them weren't used as labors. - Portuguese first purpose of exploring Africa was for gold. However, Europeans saw advantages in using Africans in the Americas after the natives started die. The African slaves were very easy to treat. - Atlantic slave trade, also known as buying and selling the Africans, became a massive enterprise. - As the European colony's sugar industry grew demand for cheep labor also grew.

Explain the Triangular Trade Route. African were transported to the Americas in the trading network known as the triangular trade. Over one trade route, Europeans transported goods to the west coast of Africa and on other routes merchants carried rum and other goods from the New England colonies to Africans. They sold Africans to the West Indies for sugar and molasses. They then sold sugar and molasses to New England. The West Indies, England, Europe, and Africa were all part of Triangular Trade.

Identify the consequences of the slave trade. In Africa, because of the slave trade, most cultures lost their generations- their young and able. They were never reunited and masses of African families were torn apart. Also, the slave trade was devastated by the Europeans threatening with their guns.
