  8. Controlling the Trade • England offered subsidies for indigo • Rice and indigo could only be sold to England (but did not enforce this for rice) • SC had a wider market for rice—thus raising the price • SC planters had a secure market for these cash crops

  9. Guided Practice • Route One—African slaves are transported to the Americas to be sold as slaves • Route Two—The Americas are sending raw materials (cash crops) to Europe so Europe can turn them into manufactured goods (textiles, furniture, etc.) • Route Three—Europe sends manufactured good to Africa and the Americas to make money
