The peace treaty of the Civil War was signed at Appomattox Courthouse, Virginia, on April 9, 1865, by General Robert E. Lee and General Ulysses S. Grant. \n\nThe Emancipation Proclamation allowed all slaves in the southern states (there were no slaves in the north) to be free. It was dated January 1, 1863. Here's a great link for that (read it word for word for yourself, it's kind of cool): \n\nhttp://www.nps.gov/ncro/anti/emancipation.html\n\nGood luck with your homework assignment!

Some causes of slavery were immigration from other countries.this is because the u.s. did not want other groups of people to come.another was that they did not like the immigrants for some odd reason.An effect was that conflict around the u.s. started.Another effect was the war between the north and the south.An effect was also the underground railroad that helped slave escape from slavery.hope this helped!         :-)

Slavery still exists, all over the world.  Those who say otherwise are niave, and ill-informed.  Just because it has been outlawed doesn't mean that it itsn't there.  Speeding is outlawed, piracy is outlawed, it exists.  There are countries in Africa where slavery runs rampant. Consider that.

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.

At the end of slavery, many slaves did not have a last name.  Many of them took names of presidents as their last name.

I've read that it was the South's continued practice of slavery that turned off the English.  The British had outlawed slavery and didn't much care to be associated with it anymore.  Had the Confederacy abandoned that institution, I think you might have seen a slightly different outcome, but then again, slavery was one of the reasons (not THE reason, but ONE of many reasons) for the conflict in the first place, so...

My denomination, Southern Baptist, supported slavery.  Southern Baptist's had lots of cotton and tobacco farms in the south.\n\nI'm glad I wasn't around when that was going on.  It's not something to be proud of.

Would be nice if he could effectively eliminate it in the US. Check out this link for info about what types of slavery exist today:\n\nhttp://www.antislavery.org/homepage/antislavery/modern.htm

the economic status of the south allowed for industrial speculators to move in and increase the size of industrial manufacturies. Labor was cheap, people needed to eat. Slavery being abolished also meant that the labor force was decreased (whites now had to work for themselves).\n\nThe market went from agraian (many people producing much food) to industrial (few people roducing most of the nations food.) This meant jobs went from agriculture to industry.

If your looking for historic info, look up slave trading routes. Slaves were stored in the bahamian islands before being brought to america, they worked the cane farms there.

The importing of slaves was outlawed before the Civil War. Slaves were "home grown" by breeding slaves in the US.

Unfortunately, slavery was a vital institution for the economic well being of the South. Whenever the issue of slavery came up during the drafting of the Constitution, arguments between North and South arose, which was one of the precursors to the Civil War. The Missouri Compromise, the 2/3 Compromise, both dealt with the issue of slavery and how far north it could extend. Southerners referred to it as a "necessary evil", a bad thing, but nevertheless it was vital to the South's economy, and also the nation as a whole.

Good link check it: http://www.iabolish.com/slavery_today/\n\nHistory\nAlthough it is commonly held that slavery was rare among primitive pastoral peoples and that it appeared in full form only with the development of an agricultural economy, there are numerous instances that contradict this belief. Domestic slavery and sometimes concubine slavery appeared among the nomadic Arabs, among Native Americans primarily devoted to hunting, and among the seafaring Vikings. Some ascribe the beginnings of slavery to war and the consequent subjection of one group by another. Slavery as a result of debt, however, existed in very early times, and some African peoples have had the custom of putting up wives and children as hostages for an obligation; if the obligation was unfulfilled, the hostages became permanent slaves.
