AP US History

Europeans Enter Africa People of Europe were able to reach sub-Saharan Africa around 1450 when the Portuguese invented the caravel, a ship that should sail into the wind. This ship allowed sailors to sail back up the western coast of Africa and back to Europe. The Portuguese set up trading posts along the African beaches trading with slaves and gold, trading habits that were originally done by the Arabs and Africans. The Portuguese shipped the slaves back to Spain and Portugal where they worked on the sugar plantations.

4 September 1326 My parents were killed two weeks ago in a tragic camel accident. I have been living on the streets of Tunis trying to survive on my own. I am hungry and tired, but I think I have found a solution to my troubles. There is a caravan leaving soon for Alexandria. I will join this caravan and start a new life there. Maybe I will learn some things from the other people in the caravan while on this journey. 13 September 1326
