Question

source 6.2 the business of the slave trade
thomas phillips | a journal of a voyage made in
the hannibal of london | 1694
as soon as the king understood of our landing, he sent two of his
cappasheirs, or noblemen, to compliment us at our factory, where we
design’d to continue that night, and pay our respects to his majesty next
day... whereupon he sent two more of his grandees to invite us there that
night, saying he waited for us, and that all former captains used to attend
him the first night: whereupon being unwilling to infringe the custom, or
give his majesty any offence, we took our hammocks, and mr. peirson,
myself, capt. clay, our surgeons, pursers, and about 12 men, arm’d for our
guard, were carry’d to the king’s town, which contains about 50 houses....
we returned him thanks by his interpreter, and assur’d him how great
affection our masters, the royal african company of england, bore to him,
for his civility and fair and just dealings with their captains; and that
notwithstanding there were many other places, more plenty of negro slaves
that begg’d their custom, yet they had rejected all the advantageous offers
made them out of their good will to him, and therefore had sent us to trade
with him, to support his country with necessaries, and that we hop’d he
would endeavour to continue their favour by his kind usage and fair
dealing with us in our trade, that we may have our slaves with all

phillips’s account provides evidence in support of which of the following conclusions
about the slave market in the caribbean?

Explanation:

Question 9

To solve this, we analyze each option:

• Option 1: The accounts don't focus on Caribbean market saturation for selling slaves.
• Option 2: The text shows interaction with African rulers but doesn't say Europeans only bought directly from them (there's no indication of exclusivity).
• Option 3: The accounts (Equiano's and Phillips') often detail the harsh Atlantic crossing for slaves, so this is supported.
• Option 4: The text shows African rulers' role, not European control of West African slave trade.

• "The perspective of European slave buyers": The source is from a European (Phillips) involved in slave trade, so this is supported.
• "The human suffering generated by the slave trade": The source focuses on trade interactions, not direct human suffering details.
• "The roles played by African facilitators of the slave trade": The king (African ruler) interacts with Europeans, showing African facilitation role.
• "The life of slaves in the Americas": The source is about the African trade stage, not American slave life.

Answer:

C. the trip across the Atlantic was immensely difficult for slaves.
