Well of course people lived in Liberia before the African Americans went back there.  So I disagree, but the independent state of liberia was started by freed American slaves.  That much is true.  Also American companies such as the tire maker Firestone moved in, to start rubber plantations.

okay first really read the Encarta passage (where I got two of the answers)the answers because if your teacher asks you where you got em or why the causes were SO important you won't know! Also anytime you have a history paper or anything history,science or political go to Encarta!!! IT has saved me hours of fact finding time!I couldn't find the rest but they should be in your text book! good luck.\na)Spread of the Plantation System\nb)Africans as the Labor Source

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:

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.

All races have had theier periods of slavery. Many American Whites came here as slaves. They were pulled from debter's prisons or came here as endenured servents. Not quite the same as African's who came to America but pretty close. The British until the war of 1812 swiped Americn sailors and impressed them. That is enslaved them forcing them to sail as British sailors.  Some native tribes in America kept slaves. Many native tribes in South America did so. In Aftrica is was and even today continues to be an institution. In the middle east slavery was common until recent times. In Asia it was also common until the last 500 years. However the Japanese reinstituted it heavily during WWII. In Europe Jews, Catholics, Intellectuals, Communists were enslaved and some sent to concentration camps. \n\nSo slavery has a long sordid role in human history. Many feel the pyramids and most other wonders or the world were built primarily with slave labor.

Its as old as known history. The earliest civilations practiced it back even in Mesopotamia (which is older than Egypt). It was not created by the "white devil" that you hear about today. \n\nI do wonder how many blacks in America would be willing to go back in time and stop the importation of their ancestors...Hmmm, Africa has aids, drought, pestilence, civil wars, ethnic genocide, and no economy. America sounds pretty good after all!

The slave trade has been going on since before written history and continues to this very day.In days of old it was common practice to enslave a defeated enemy, in some civilizations you could even enslave someone for owing a debt. Civilization as we know it was built by slaves, ancient Eygpt, Persia, Geece, Rome, all built by slaves, at one point or another every group has been both the slave and the master. The african slave trade is by no means unique, slavery has been a fact of life in Africa since the beginning, slaves were always valued spoils of war among fighting tribes,Anyone that thinks the slave trade started because a boatload of europeans sailed down to Africa and started rounding up peaceful natives is sadly mistaken, at the time when european nations were getting involved in the slave trade there exsisted on the \nafrican continent a number of very large and powerful kingdoms, each with a large and powerful army, slaves were just one of a number of traded commodities, it should be noted that at the time when europeans were trading for slaves to sell in the americas, arab and african pirates were raiding european coastal villages for white slaves to sell in northern africa. There is no innocent guilt-free party here, everyone has blood on there hands. The slave trade in Africa continues to this day, why doesn't anyone talk about that? Slavery in america is a disgrace this country has to deal with, as are the segregation years that followed. This is still a fresh wound for america, slavery exsisted for three hundred years before the civil war and it's only been fifty years since the civil rights movement, we still have a long way to go, but giving away money doesn't solve anything, if you want to throw money at the problem throw it at education, health care, job training, things that actually do some good.I am not responsible for the sins of my forefathers, I cannot affect the past, only the future,personally, I think we need to spend more energy working on tomorrow than crying about yesterday.

First, it is true: Lincoln said he wanted to send the slaves back to Africa.  "My first impulse would be to free all the slaves and send them to Liberia."  (Ottawa, August 21, 1858) \n\nThis is his words, check on his speech in Ottawa August 21 of 1858. But it was Monroe that actually sent some back.  LINCOLN did not send any slaves back to Africa.

1. Africans in African contributed to slavery via selling members of other tribes with whom they had\nwarred, or, via ambushing other Africans and selling them to the slave traders. \n2. The term middle passage was regarding the trip from Africa to either America, Cuba, or other islands, and the point that was considered the middle.  During the middle passage, many Africans died due to illness, malnutrition, and were simply thrown overboard.  According to statistics, the deaths that took place in the middle passage during the slave trade, outnumbered the deaths during the holocaust in Germany.

some west africans worked for europeans helping to capture west africans and other africans to be taken through the triangle trade route for slavery.  africans had to stay aware of the europeans, so basicly they lived as paranoid people.

It slavery never happen America wouldn't exist today. They probably would be ruled by Indians or Mexican or something. The slightest thing can completely change History. And you know they would be in Africa.
