"Needefull Things" for a Virginia Immigrant
Many of the earliest immigrants to Virginia died within a year of arrival. This trend hurt the colony's reputation
and prompted the promoters to issue, in 1622, a list of "provisions" necessary to survive in the New World.
Despite the differences in climate, this list was copied in abbreviated form in 1630 by promoters of settlement in
New England.

The Geography Of The Atlantic Slave Trade
"Chart of the Sea Coasts of Europe, Africa, and America . . ."
From John Thornton, The Atlas Maritimus of the Sea Atlas.
London, ca. 1700.
Geography and Map Division. (1-11)
This map's elaborate cartouche (drawing), embellished with an elephant and two Africans, one holding an
elephant tusk, emphasizes the pivotal role of Africa in the Atlantic trading network. The South Atlantic trade
network involved several international routes. The best known of the triangular trades included the
transportation of manufactured goods from Europe to Africa, where they were traded for slaves. Slaves were
then transported across the Atlantic--the infamous middle passage--primarily to Brazil and the Caribbean, where
they were sold. The final leg of this triangular trade brought tropical products to Europe. In another variation,
manufactured goods from colonial America were taken to West Africa; slaves were carried to the Caribbean and
Southern colonies; and sugar, molasses and other goods were returned to the home ports.
