In the S State need more than N.State .In N.State had factories so white people worked there.

    accorded with the article read in Wikipedia about slavery in America. Slavery is a form of labor from your owner with out a salary, which consisted in slaves, taken from Africa to America by Europeans to work in big plantations of cotton, sugar, tobacco and coffee. Slavery began in America in 1619.The Europeans were exchanging African people's with jewelries and brought them to south America to work as slaves in plantations. Slavery had very bad effects on Africa such as diminution of the population and much more. Slavery was abolished in 1865. but is it really abolished?
