  1. What have we already learned about enslaved African Americans? Let's create a tree map in your SS notebook to add to as we learn about all 6 classes this week!

  2. Social Classes of the Antebellum (Before the War) period There were many different classes of people in South Carolina during 
this time period. Some people had very rough, unfair lives, and others 
were very rich and had lots of privileges. All of these people had very 
different lifestyles. Can you predict what type of life each class had by 
looking at the name? Elite Middle Class Independent Farmers Lower Class Free African Americans Enslaved African Americans

  3. Plantations

  4. Small Farms

  5. Where did the slaves live before they were 
captured and brought to the United States? West Africa and the West Indies

  6. Slaves were captured in West Africa and the West Indies and brought to 
the United States. The slaves traveled on unsanitary crowded ships, and 
they were often transported in chains so they couldn't escape. They 
were auctioned off in slave trades to the highest bidder, and were often 
separated from their families forever. Whoever bought them took them 
home and forced them to work without pay.

  7. Independent Farmers Elite Middle Class Enslaved African Americans Lower Class Free African Americans unpaid labor private tutors for children lived in one room cabins owned a small farm lived in cities and towns had a skill or talent owned 20 or more slaves farmed on rented land children had to help farm attorneys, physicians, merchants could not read or write paid taxes to be free worked with their slaves in field owned large plantations farmed in the upstate owned few slaves for housework tried to buy family's freedom uneducated and unskilled involved in government

  8. We are going to create a class tree map out of the slips of paper I give you. When you know which class your piece of paper belongs to bring it up to our chart and we will glue it on. Use your notes if needed.
