A slave is someone who is owned by another person.
A slave has:
No choice
No freedom
No money.
A slave has to do what is
asked of him by his master, usually this is work of some kind. Slaves are
punished for not following their master's orders, working too slowly, or
attempting to runaway. When we think of slavery today we think of the black
Africans who were captured, sold into slavery and taken to the Americas to
work on the plantations there.
Slavery in the United States was part of a long established system of labor exploitation that dates to ancient times. The beginnings of slavery in British North America around 1619.A history on slavery in America and the poor treatment of African slaves by their white owners.The conditions slaves faced depended on the size of the plantation or
farm where they worked, the work they had to do, and, of course, the
whim of their master. Those who worked the fields with their owner and
his family tended to receive better treatment than plantation slaves
under an overseer, who was interested only in maximizing the harvest and
had no direct investment in their well-being. Household slaves,
blacksmiths, carpenters, and
drivers were better off than field hands.The cotton gin was invented. It increased the amount of cotton so it
helped the slaves out. Later on the slaves became more profitable. It made the slaves the most valuable thing in the nation beside the
land itself. Slavery was all over the United States. To whites African
Americans were like machines. Slave labor made the production of cotton
possible.A man named Abraham Lincoln(the president at that time) changed the war into a holy war, a fight for freedom.The way of slavery was almost over. The war was over and it was a new day.
