Their minds were focused on one goal:  freedom.\n\nWhen you set your mind on something, you achieve it.\n\nUnfortunately the owners took slaves for granted.  As a result, they were not prepared for traps.

in the days of slavery there wasnt a easy way to get to mexico , the slaves never ran into the southwest toward mexico, they ran into the north where if they made it they would have been considered free men

At the time it may have been efficient for white people, but I certainly don't think it was efficient for the black community. Slavery is NEVER any good for the people who are being in slaved.

a long time ago during slavery time. a mans wife was about to give birth. the man had to send for a doctor. so he got in his    carriage and rode off into the night. but before he went he told one of his servents to make sure that he held a light out for him to see because it was an unusually cold blizzard. the man stood outside so long that he froze. and in memory of the servant the man made a statue for him. this caught on to wat it is today. origanally the statue has a lantern in his hand.

:}\nI don’t know whether people who claim that the Bible supports slavery are people doing so because they don’t know the Bible or if they are anti-Christians. The Bible is clear on it’s position against forced slavery:\n\nEx 21: 16  "Kidnappers must be killed, whether they are caught in possession of their victims or have already sold them as slaves. See also 1 Tim 1:10  These laws are for people who are sexually immoral, for homosexuals and slave traders, for liars and oath breakers, and for those who do anything else that contradicts the right teaching where \n\nTaking people against their will (slave trading) was punishable by death. \nThe Jewish people had slavery as a heritage. Their national identity began as slaves in Egypt.  They had cause to abhor slavery. While both the bond-slave (selling oneself into servitude) and forced labor from prisoners of war were allowed, the selling , trading , or keeping of slaves was strictly forbidden.\n\nScripture does teach that people in servitude should render service to their employers and  that the servant should be loyal to his master. While I have no doubt that there were slave owners who twisted these teachings to their advantage in order to justify slavery. I find that practice as intellectually dishonest as I do today , the practice of anti-Christians who want to insist that the Bible supports slavery.

I will only help if I can be cited in the essay.  \n\nThere was a triangle of trade.  Manufactured goods would be sent to Africa.  From Africa, slaves were sent to the Caribbean or North America.  Then from the Caribbean or North America goods such as Rice, Sugar, Tobacco, Rum, and Cotton were shipped back to England.\nThat is what I learned in history but for a detailed explanation check out the site below:

I guess it is possible that the first blacks who were freed from slavery used physical punishment, since that is what they knew.  This may have then taught their kids that violence is the way to handle problems, then it was passed down the generations.  So, maybe the first blacks learned it from their white masters, but after that they learned it from their parents.\n\nThe same can be said for white people who physically abuse their kids--they most often learn if from their parents.  \n\nI grew up in a household where my dad would get drunk and slap me or pull my hair.  I decided not to do this to my kids because I don't want to pass on the legacy of violence.

Slavery, as it pertained to the jews, was different from in most other parts of the world.  Jews, for instance were required to free whatever slaves they had every seven years.  In addition, they were supposed to treat their slaves with decency - shouldn't rape or kill or beat half to death.  As a result, slavery was never very profitable or common among the Israelites.  Also, being a slave would therefore imply something different.  Given time, you would be free.  Thus you should serve your master with dedication and loyalty until such time as you were freed.  Love thy neighbor, no matter what station you are in life.

Born into slavery in Maryland, Harriet Tubman freed herself, and played a major role in freeing the remaining millions.  She is often called "the Moses of her people."

No. “I have always hated slavery,” he wrote in 1858. He lived his entire adult life to the time he was elected president in Indiana or Illinois, both free states.

make sure you include the part of african american slavery where americans where enslaved by africans on the barbary coast and good ole thomas jefferson had to send in the marines to teach them a lesson.  Also be sure to include the part about africans enslaving other africans and selling them to slave traders. Africans were not exploited by europeans alone, they were exploited by other africans.

Excellent points!  We're always being told that our ancestors enslaved them, but we're never told that our ancestors also fought and died to free them.  It's been 140 years since there was slavery.  There are so many programs to help black people, at the expense of white people.  Its about time black people quit looking for excuses and try to make it like I know they can.  And don't start calling me prejudice cause I aint!
