Britain and the Slave Trade

15 Resources
These outstanding resources look at Britain’s involvement in the Slave Trade and its abolition in 1807. They have been bundled together and heavily discounted in order to give your exception value. This topic is part of a statutory collection that all UK schools are required to teach. It contains several mature themes that have been approached in a sensitive and careful way. However, I would not recommend, teaching this topic to Year 7 students. When purchased you will be able to download eight lessons with enough work to keep a class going for a similar number of weeks or more, depending upon your curriculum time. Everything that has been included in this bundle has been written by experienced teachers and carefully crafted and differentiated so that they are suitable for the full ability range. For more detailed information, please click on each lesson and view the detailed previews that have been uploaded. If you like these resources then why not check out my other resources on this topic in my TES shop, where many have been bundled together to provide you with further savings.

What were the Consequences of the Break with Rome for both British and American History?

What were the Consequences of the Break with Rome for both British and American History?

7 Resources
Henry VIII’s break with Rome set in play a series of events that dramatically changed the island history of Britain and led to both political and religious refugees seeking safety in North America in what would one day become know as the ‘The Land of the Free.’ The next two hundred years of British history were riven with religious divisions between Catholics and Protestants, that still haunt parts of the United Kingdom and Ireland today. If we wish to understand the origins of American character, then we have to first understand the rich fertile soil from which it sprang in England. In the immediate aftermath of the ‘Break with Rome’ England changed it’s state religion several times, whilst both sides persecuted each other, accusing the other side of being heretics. The most famous, but certainly not the most bloodiest, resulting in the deaths of 280 Protestant Martyrs during the reign of Queen Mary. Her sister Elizabeth I executed far more Catholics whilst trying to come to a compromise through the Elizabethan Church Settlement Act, which left many feeling very unhappy. This ultimately led to the English Catholics trying to kill King James I and Parliament in the now infamous Gunpowder Plot in 1605. Later in 1620, fearful of Catholic plots and further persecution for refusing to attend the Church of England, the ‘Pilgrim Fathers’ left England never to return in the hope of finding a place where they could freely practice their faith in North America. Later of course these divisions would implode into the English Civil War in 1642 and result in the execution of Charles I.The resulting conflicts would see thousands seeking religious toleration in North America. In order to help you cover these topics in a fun and engaging way, I have bundled together some of my most popular results on these topics at the knock down price of $25 giving you a 35% discount. Some of these resources can be purchased as part of other bundles.

The issue of the religious problems facing James I is explored via both the Gunpowder Plot and The Pilgrim Fathers. Whilst interconnected with both these problems is popular beliefs and superstitions which is explored through my resources on Witchcraft.
