Review the lesson “The Atlantic slave trade and slavery”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 4e: “The Atlantic slave trade and slavery”, from the unit “The 18th century, an age of expansion, Enlightenment and revolutions.” Its questions are about the Atlantic slave trade, the triangular trade and slavery on colonial plantations.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, fill in the blanks, matching, short answers and timelines. After each answer, an explanation recalls what to remember. Hints are free, and you can go back.

The game follows the French national curriculum: 4e is the third year of middle school in France, for students aged 13 to 14. Elsewhere, it works as general knowledge for curious learners of that age. Play it again and you get other questions: it is good practice right after the lesson or before a test.

Tip for a successful review

Follow the three legs of the triangular trade, from one continent to the next. For each leg, ask what is carried and who suffers the consequences. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
