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.

Slavery ended along time ago, my brother. Forget the past and look towards the future with God.  We are all one and equal with Him.

Don't have an exact date, but I will look to see if I can find it and if so, modify this answer.  However, I do remember that the Underground Railroad was in operation between 1830-1865.

U.S. "legalized" slavery may have ended in 1861, but please do not let us fool ourselves -- slavery, in many forms, still exists today . . . and I'm not talking "slave to my job" kind either.    :-(

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!

Not an American one that's for sure.  Segregation started with slavery a very long time ago in Africa (of all places ... I know ... funny isn't it).  Most people think slavery and segregation started in America.  Goes to show how ignorant (as in not smart on a subject ... not meant to offend any one person, race, religeon, or creed) some people are.\n\nMan, how about those 10 bonus points partner????

Not in the US, but in some third-world countries it happens. It's been known to happen to some illegal immigrants, but it is illegal.\nBut I agree, it's time to wake up. Slavery is not "starting again", it's always been around. It's a big world out there, open your eyes.

They started right after the Civil War, by who I don't know, as a protest to the freeing of the slaves.  Then it grew from there.  See the following links...

The idea that slavery was bad was invented by americans.  Up until that point, the opinion of the entire world was that slavery was OK because blacks were not human.  At the time, the idea that blacks were human and should not be slaves was extremely radical.  Most people saw it as a lowering of the dignity of the human race.  You weren't recognizing that slaves were on the same level, nor even elevating them to that level.  You were degrading humanity to the level of the slave.  That idea was violently resisted and took generations to become fully accepted.\n\nBut the idea started here.

If there are any black people who actually suffered under slavery still out there and alive, yes. That would be fair. As for blacks alive today, no. They suffer no hardships due to slavery that ended over a century ago. and never forget, it wasn't a brave and Nobel "slave revolt" that ended slavery, it was thousands of White men who died to enforce the emancipation proclamation. America already paid the price, in blood.

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.
