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.

Slaves in both the Confederate States of America and the United States of America continued serving their masters. Many slaves in both went to war with their owners, others continued their servitude in their occupations prior to the war. Slave owners in the United States were not forced to free their slaves by the Emancipation Proclomation and contiuned to work their slaves until the conclusion of the war.

??? Slavery has existed since the beginning of time. The N. American Slave trade existed for a very short time in comparison to other historical slave periods.\n\nThe United States has done an extraodinary thing in correcting a lot of its wrongs with Affirmative Action, Brown v The Topeka Board of Education, the Voting Rights Act and other measures.\n\nWe have a way to go, but of late we have the likes of the Oprahs, Powells, Woods, and other pioneers that we can point to and say America is overcoming.

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

No one will write you an essay on slavery. \nIf you're not good at writing essays and papers, you need to get better at it. Life is full of term papers and essays. Also, you'll need to narrow your topic, because slavery is so broad.\n\nSome topics:\n- Look at the 3/5's compromise. It states that each slave will be counted as 3/5's of a person.\n- Look up such people as Abe Lincoln, Harriet Tubman, Harriet Beecher Stowe.\n- Also, look up info on the Underground railroad, and describe what a slave would have to go through to get to Canada, or at least the Northern states to get their freedom.\n- Find out the trade route that was from Africa to the United States.\n\nThis is how you could organize your essay- and any other essays that you will have. Commit this to memory, and you'll never go wrong!\nIntroduction (state your point, and what you'll be talking about- this is typically where you tell the reader about the main points of your paper. 3-5 sentences)\n3-5 Main points, each 1 paragraph long.  \nConclusion- wrap up your paper. Be sure to restate the main points- not in the same words! \n\nI'm sure that you would need to state how/when slavery ended, what law was passed that ended it.  You could also mention some prominent slave owners, such as George Washington, James Madison, and others of our founding fathers. Also, slavery was at it's peak when cotton and tobacco were the main crops of the South, creating large plantations that needed cheap help.

Although Paine was not the first, as some have said, to advocate the aboliton of slavery in Amerca, he was certainly one of the earliest and most influential. An essay "African Slavery In America" was written in 1774 and published March 8, 1775 when it appeared in the Pennsylvania Journal and the Weekly Advertiser. Just a few weeks later on April 14, 1775 the first anti-slavery society in America was formed in Philadelphia. Paine was a founding member.\nGo to http://www.thomaspaine.org/Archives/afri.html to read this essay.

Wow - that's a tough question to answer without sounding racist or radical.  \n\n(especially after we went to war believeing that slavery is wrong)\n\nSlavery has always provided a form of free labor.  When you use a race that you believe is inferior you don't have to worry about cost or feeding or even the working conditions as slaves are expendable.\n\nHowever once you get into that topic, you are putting a price on a human life (which is close to 2.3 billion dollars if you add the cost of the chemicals used to make up a human).

Slavery does not legally exist in the United States.  The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified 6 December 1865.  It expressly outlaws slavery as well as involuntary servitude except as punishment for a crime.\n\nNothing else has to be done to continue this “Constitutional” mandate.\n\nThis does not apply to the rest of the world.  There yet remain vestiges of slavery in various parts of the world and certainly there exist forms of involuntary servitude.\n\nRandy

First of all, no they didn't. They had slaves in their congregation, and told them to behave honorably as slaves, but they encoraged the slave holders in their congregation to release their slaves. Read Philemon.\n\nSecond, slavery in that day was something entirely different from slavery was in the American South. Back then, a person sold themselves into slavery rather than go bankrupt. You worked a certain number of years as a slave, and then you were set free. You could also sell your children, but they would usually be free before they were adults. Their children wouldn't be born slaves. In the American South, they were creating a race of slaves. That's looked down on. The only time that happened in ancient times was when one country conquered another, and then eventually the slaves were absorbed into regular society.
