Primary sources and passages of historical fiction written by teachers provide a portal into one of the most dramatic cases of first encounter between two peoples in early modern times.
These document-based lessons investigate the relationship between the people of the prosperous Kongo Kingdom and the Portuguese, who began to arrive there in 1483, a relationship which began well, but degenerated when both European and African profiteers exploited the Atlantic slave trade. A simulation activity is also included.
