Triangular trade


Hi


Well todays link is aimed at the first years who are working through the slave trade at the moment. There is tons of great information out there on the web about this topic but here is a link about triangular trade.




With this in mind did you know that the greatest rock and roll band in the world have a song that is about slavery? Here are the lyrics below. See if you can find out the name of one of my all time favourite bands (there picture above is a clue) and I am sure there are places on the internet where you can hear the song. Anyway here are the lyrics:-


Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields

Sold in a market down in New Orleans

Scarred old slaver knows he's doing alright

Hear him whip the women just around midnight

See you in class
