Slavery has always been the most shocking phenomena of our world. Slavery, by itself seems very unnatural and provokes mixed feelings from the heart of each person. Some faced “slavery” even in the contemporary times. And some people just simply do not understand the possibility of one human being considering another human being its Slave. Slavery is the practice or system of owning Slaves. Nevertheless, there is still much to say about it and a lot of things to recall.Some of the big central ideas that I have found so far in my research are some of the ways Slaves were tortured, why was this portrayed, and what really led to this. Important insights that I have derived from my research topic include Slaves who helped other Slaves become free

A majority of people that chose to accept freedom believing it would give them better opportunities in life soon realised that life as a free person wasn’t as positive as they initially thought.

Having freedom is what makes the people who they are as humans, and what they are meant to be. Freedom is simple as saying small and easy things, "Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows" (Orwell 84).

Imagine life as an average American, you wake up get ready for the day whether that is work, school, or daily errands. Now as you walk from the front door to your car, you are suddenly snatched with a bag over your head.

This exact story happened to Olaudah Equiano when he was captured in Africa and brought to the North America at the age of 11. Equiano faced much hardship and near life experiences but he was fortunate than many other slaves by his ability to learn english, and encountering masters that were kind to him.

Freedom is something that many people take for granted. Having freedom allows you to make your own decisions. Many people abuse their rights by making bad choices. It is important to appreciate the rights you have because not everyone around the world has freedom.

In this assignment I will be taking a further look into the history of slavery. When thinking of slavery the immediate thought that comes to mind is all the negative aspects of the system. Prior to this research, I was unaware of slave systems that were not based on the long labor hours and the torture of slaves. Granted, there were still forms of slavery that practiced these brutal rituals, where slaves were treated as animals and were malnourished. One prime example of this, is the book titled “Am I Not A Woman And A Sister”, looks at the history of a Bermudan slave named Mary Prince. Another example of slavery that will be incorporated in this paper will come from a source about a woman slave named Semsigul, born in Caucasus an area that

Furthermore, the self-hatred or low self-esteem of African-American people involves the personal inferiority complex in Akbar’s novel. The shrewd slave makers were fully aware that people who still respected themselves as human beings would resist to the death the dehumanizing process of slavery. African-Americans have to overcome the glass ceiling of

The Interesting Narrative of the Life of Olaudah Equiano was written by Olaudah Equiano in 1789, twenty three years after he was allowed to buy his freedom. This document, as a primary source, autobiography and persuasive piece, is able to reveal that slavery rips children from their families and tears families apart. Equiano tells about his life before slavery, and he also reveals that life as a slave was full of unpredicted turns. This is important piece of trying to understand slavery because it tells us about how straining it is to have to live without knowing what the future holds.

Melton, in this case may had been installed with certain beliefs either from family life or the laws he was told to obey from the queen. Many questions directed to Abina Manasah indicated that Melton was trying to discover if she was a slave based on her employment, treatment or even other witnesses. Abina answered in her honest truth, what she felt was the correct answer to his questions and at the end of the case Melton understood that some crime was committed against this young women in her thoughts, and she wanted justice. However, Melton didn’t want to start troubles between alliances, disturbing the peace and possibly causing many wars, and he also knew that his knowledge of the culture was not enough and allowed other influences to conduct his decision.

There has been much debate on the topic of slavery in the early times, although most of the countries considered slavery as a criminal activity. Some countries such as Myanmar and Sudan do not abolish it. They even expedite the slavery system. It is no doubt that slavery violent the human rights. However, it was commonly spread in the early times from 17th to 19th century. In this research, I will talk about the origin of the slavery, the reasons for people to becoming slave and the life of the slave.

Peters Golden, the quote from an Azande man put many aspects of The Azande thought
