Map Work: Student Page 136, answer 262 Trace the path of the slave trade to the Americas: Spanish and Portuguese ships sailed to West Africa to get slaves. Draw a red line from Portugal to the “W” in West Africa. (Remember to stay in the Atlantic Ocean as much as possible; this was a sea journey.) Once the ships were loaded up with slaves, they would travel across the Atlantic Ocean to the New World. This journey was known as the Middle Passage. Slaves could go to the West Indies, Central America, or South America. Draw a red line from the “W” on West Africa to the dot in the West Indies. Then, trace the line labeled “The Middle Passage” in red. Using red, trace the second line from Africa to South America. Now extend the first line (that came from West Africa to the West Indies) all the way to Tenochtitlan (in Central America). Slaves might also travel one of these routes.

This idea was based on the theories of Ptolemy. But when Copernicus began to make measurements, what did he find out about Ptolemy’s theories? They were sometimes wrong! According to Copernicus’s theory, the stars and planets didn’t revolve around the earth. What did the earth and all the other planets revolve around? They revolved around the sun. Why was Copernicus afraid to publish his theory? Because he was a Catholic.
