Slavery Is Bad

Slavery can be dated back to very early civilizations and were crucial in everyday activities, also to the economy. Some of these ancient civilizations include the India, Mesopotamian and Chinese and these had slaves work in their homes or their shops. Another early civilization who used slaves were the Egyptian who used the slaves to build their monuments, castles, palaces and statues. Hebrews also used slaves but were a little more moral on how they were identified. The Aztec, Inca and Mayan used slaves in many forms and most of these slaves were optained through war prisoners and were used in agriculture and warfare.

a. The slavery was developed because that was a very good business for all the parts involved

There are many types of slavery. The most common for the 1800s is forced labor, which in the 1800s, was longterm, no pay, bad conditions. Forced labor is physical, forcing them to work for hours on end, and beaten into submission. There is also forced marriage, sex trafficking, and child labor, the most cruel. Slaves under 18 take up 30% of the whole slave population, and is involved with every single type of slavery.

Slavery was practiced many different ways through the New England, Mid-Atlantic, and Southern colonies. Slaves were mistreated by their masters and was treated as property and not people. Slaves had to work in very bad weather conditions and had to work even when they were sick. Many times families were split up because slaves were bought for specific skills and not always bought together. In many cases families were never reunited.

Slavery is as old as the world 's first civilizations. Two important slave movements were the one across the Sahara Desert and another along the East African coasts of the Indian Ocean, both of which terminated in slave markets in the Muslim world. The subject of slavery is viewed in contrast by different parts of the world. Narrowing to the topic of slavery in the Americas and the Muslim states, it is apparent that the two regions contain mostly different opinions as to whether slaves exist for sheer labor or that slaves are humans just like you and me. What is similar between the facts that Muslims view their slaves religiously with more compassion than that of the Americas, who

The slaves were treated absolutely malevolently by the Europeans without any respect or thought towards them. Often without hesitation, the men tortured and abused the slaves. For example, commanders often cut off the legs and arms of defiant slaves to prevent them for trying to rebel, as well as to terrify the rest of the slaves, as shown by Document 2. It is truly terrible that people felt that it was necessary to sever the limbs of the poor slaves. The ones that had to suffer this were ultimately disadvantaged for the rest of their lives because of this. In Document 3, it was discussed that the slaves had to suffer terrible conditions such as small, cramped areas with barely enough room to breathe. It also said in Document 4 that many of

Most people understand that slavery was a terrible thing, but most might not fully understand the struggles that free colored men and women endured as well. While slavery was legal, free men would often be kidnapped and forced into slavery, and sometimes slaves actually escape to freedom. If an African American was considered a free man, he or she had to get official documentations stating so. Even after the documents were given to them, some of them still found themselves as slaves. There are many different stories about slavery, but just because a slave escapes from slavery, does not mean he or she is free from a slave’s mindset. Although they were in different positions in life, slaves and free African Americans experienced the same hardships, fears, and daily struggles.

Slavery has existed since the beginning of time. Slavery was a system put in place that allowed people to be treated property. In most cases, slaves could be bought and sold. People would acquire slaves through capture, purchase, or birth. All slaves were denied the right to leave, refuse work, or any type of payment for their labor. Slavery was a horrible institution, whose purpose was to serve as an economic system and display status throughout Western history.

A slave up to this point in history was considered to be unfortunate and not inferior. In the ancient world,

2.  Slavery degraded master and slave.  Masters derived pleasure from abusing chattel.  How would this behavior contribute to their diminished humanity?

For a long time slavery was seen as justifiable because the black people enslaved were not seen as human. Many slave owners rationalized their abuse and mistreatment of their slaves by saying that their slaves were not really people. By creating a mindset that black people were less than human it made their oppression and abuse easier to do. This eased the conscious of the slave owner as they mistreated and exploited their slaves. The slaves themselves then had even harsher living conditions as their masters rationalized their torture. I believe that this violence really took place because

The issue of slavery has been debated for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. It is of undisputed awareness that the act of enslaving another man or women is to strip them of their civil and natural liberties. It is also of uncontested certainty that no man or women would will- ingly chose to be a slave. And although slavery and it’s accompanied hardships are often seen as no less than an ultimate evil, it is also an indisputable fact that humanity has enslaved its brethren since the dawn of mankind1. As rational beings, we must put aside our presumptions, precon- ceived notions, and emotionally biased opinions of slavery and ask ourselves; why? One would think that if enslavement was such an unspeakable evil, it would have no place in our civil soci- ety. Yet, slavery time and time again has appeared as a fundamental part of many of the worlds most powerfull civilizations and societies throughout history. This is because slavery is a power- full tool and a necessary evil. The Greeks, Romans, Mongols, Ottomans, Egyptians, Ghana’s, Mali’s, Songhai’s, and Kanem-Bornu’s (the former four being powerfull African empires) all

Even though the slavery was introduced in the early 1600s, it had no doubt that the abolitionist inaugurated the movements about the slavery actively from early 1850s. The slavery became the essential part of industry in the South more than in the North because of the large plantations and slave trades. So in the Southerners’ perspective, the slave flourished the businesses with their inexpensive labor forces in order to profit; they argued slaves were by and large a culturally inferior, child-like people who were treated well by whites and thus content with their status in life. However, Uncle Tom’s Cabin described the slavery as an evil institution that must be abolished accurately from the historians today.

The most obvious and blatant violation of slavery is its violation of universal morality. Slavery tells one man that he is better than his counterpart just because he is lighter than him. Slavery completely obliterates the proper view and consciousness of a man. Slaves are told what to do, when to do it, and how it should be done because slave owners see the slaves as mistakes by nature. Slavery tells the slave that he was a mistake and can be bought and sold like
