Taxes wont increase because you have a population that is not allowed schooling and access to medical care. \n\nOwners can save money on labor so they can sell their products cheaper and not drive up costs. This can have long term benefits because it allows working class families to build wealth.\n\nIts a hard topic, thats all I got. Slavery sucks. The other side will win no matter what you say because it is the morally right thing to do.

Okay, To let it be known, all things that happened in th past is brought up for a reason, to let us know what the deal was. If u havent noticed, history repeats itself in some way. Black slavery was the harshest outta all slaverys as most people have said. Yet, also, alot of other nationalities have been enslaved as well. Its just that ours were the worst. Yer bro-n-law is wrong by the way. U mite wanna educate him, and show him what the deal is, that it wasnt just blacks, it was everyone. Also, it really doent need to be brought up, unless its n a history class. \n\nHave yall seen the Dave Chappelle show, when he did the thing on Slavery Compensation. (i thought that was pretty funny) yet, if thats the case, shouldnt everyone else that was enslaved as well get paid too?? It wouldnt be fair. Ill honestly say that none of us (blacks) deserve to get paid. Paying us in money, for sumthin that has traumatized possibly the whole world is actually priceless. There isnt enuff money in the world to say, "oh its aight"\n\nFinal answers:\nWhy people complain?? Because it still hurts and its the most recent (sort of) Yer bro-n-law is wrong. Most races have went thru some type of slavey in some point of time.\n\nhope i helped

:}\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.

No. Slavery is cruel and evil and it takes a very profitable industry to get people to overlook that.

try doing a search on the antebellum south I was researching Mississippi and found barbeque postcards which were postcards of a lynching victim and there were links to archived sites that had actual interviews from slaves. former slaves and witnesses during that era maybe you'll be able to locate some archived financial information as well there was also a link to sites that claimed to record accurate not pop culture history, sorry I don't remember the sites I just remember how I got there

Which white people are you talking about?  No one that I know has a problem with anyone, black or white, discussing slavery and learning about it.  I do have an issue with those who pick the most outrageous incidents and state as a fact "We know your evil, wicked, dirty ancestors beat, tortured and killed millions of innocent slaves".  Millions killed is an extreme exaggeration.  Think about it for a minute.  The slaveowner's livelihood depended on slave labor.  They were valuable property.  What modern farmer would deliberately wreck his tractor or risk damaging it by purposely exceeding its mechanical limits?  And, concerning your point #4, are the Black Africans who accepted those guns in exchange for slaves any less responsible than the white slavers who offered them?

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.

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.

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.

Must slavery be legal in order to be real?  Or would it not be better to have someone not even realize the extent of their servitude?\n\nPay alone does not erase slavery.  Control over one's destiny is the principal thing.

How does it indicate the growing problem of slavery?  what words in these great old songs make you think they have anything to do with slavery?  Where do you get the ides that it is indicating the impact of industrialization on American culture?  Listen again.

'Slave labor'?\n\nSpare us the overdramatization, please! If you had a valid point, you wouldn't need to distort the truth as much as you do.\n\nIn a mature and intellectual position, the facts speak for themselves without needing to be 'punched up' with over-the-top rhetoric.\n\nI'm sure you have a bunch of facts to support your position, no?

Umm, how about a Black History book?  Try "From Slavery to Freedom" by John Hope Franklin.  Another great historian who covered the topic is John Henrik Clarke.\n\nVery quickly, there was not very much disparity in the way non-free persons were treated.  I don't know why you think there was.  The european slave trade was the most brutal form of slavery the world has ever seen.  And it didn't matter whether it was the Spanish, British, French, etc.  The U.S. Constitution which is a FEDERAL document stated that slaves were 3/5ths human.  Furthermore, the U.S. Supreme Court (fed law) stated that the Black man/woman had NO rights that whites were bound to respect.\n\nAgain do your own reading and get your own understanding.

Sounds like homework... \nProbably should do some of you own thinking here... but here are a few ideas to get started with...\n(a) What sort of state were the former Confiderate states in? Had they used their manpower and economic resources to better economies or to fight the war?  What was their infrastructure like? Were there roads, towns, etc. left after Sherman's March to the Sea?  \n(b) What was the South's economic system like? With slaves freed, how was the economy (which required lots of manual labor on large plantations) going to function?  How were the white and black citizens in the south going to live together / work together after one class of people were literally property?\n\n(2) You might find starting information on Johnson's reconstruction plans here:\n(This is wikipedia, so you need better sources, but it's a start)http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reconstruction

I am happy to join with you today in what will go down in history as the greatest demonstration for freedom in the history of our nation.\n\nFive score years ago, a great American, in whose symbolic shadow we stand today, signed the Emancipation Proclamation. This momentous decree came as a great beacon light of hope to millions of Negro slaves who had been seared in the flames of withering injustice. It came as a joyous daybreak to end the long night of their captivity.\n\nBut one hundred years later, the Negro still is not free. One hundred years later, the life of the Negro is still sadly crippled by the manacles of segregation and the chains of discrimination. One hundred years later, the Negro lives on a lonely island of poverty in the midst of a vast ocean of material prosperity. One hundred years later, the Negro is still languished in the corners of American society and finds himself an exile in his own land. And so we've come here today to dramatize a shameful condition.\n\nIn a sense we've come to our nation's capital to cash a check. When the architects of our republic wrote the magnificent words of the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence, they were signing a promissory note to which every American was to fall heir. This note was a promise that all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the "unalienable Rights" of "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." It is obvious today that America has defaulted on this promissory note, insofar as her citizens of color are concerned. Instead of honoring this sacred obligation, America has given the Negro people a bad check, a check which has come back marked "insufficient funds."\n\nBut we refuse to believe that the bank of justice is bankrupt. We refuse to believe that there are insufficient funds in the great vaults of opportunity of this nation. And so, we've come to cash this check, a check that will give us upon demand the riches of freedom and the security of justice.\n\nWe have also come to this hallowed spot to remind America of the fierce urgency of Now. This is no time to engage in the luxury of cooling off or to take the tranquilizing drug of gradualism. Now is the time to make real the promises of democracy. Now is the time to rise from the dark and desolate valley of segregation to the sunlit path of racial justice. Now is the time to lift our nation from the quicksands of racial injustice to the solid rock of brotherhood. Now is the time to make justice a reality for all of God's children.\n\nIt would be fatal for the nation to overlook the urgency of the moment. This sweltering summer of the Negro's legitimate discontent will not pass until there is an invigorating autumn of freedom and equality. Nineteen sixty-three is not an end, but a beginning. And those who hope that the Negro needed to blow off steam and will now be content will have a rude awakening if the nation returns to business as usual. And there will be neither rest nor tranquility in America until the Negro is granted his citizenship rights. The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.\n\nBut there is something that I must say to my people, who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice: In the process of gaining our rightful place, we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. Let us not seek to satisfy our thirst for freedom by drinking from the cup of bitterness and hatred. We must forever conduct our struggle on the high plane of dignity and discipline. We must not allow our creative protest to degenerate into physical violence. Again and again, we must rise to the majestic heights of meeting physical force with soul force.\n\nThe marvelous new militancy which has engulfed the Negro community must not lead us to a distrust of all white people, for many of our white brothers, as evidenced by their presence here

And the war over slavery was bloody.  how is this god the same yesterday, today and forever?\n\nslavery is not condemned as hellish, it says,\n\n" do not become slaves of men " and then " slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh. "\n\nand how does that work out for you?  submitting to the harsh?\n\nUD:\n\nahc24- you are mad!

one suggestion is to not overlook the question of slavery as it relates to the Alamo.  One of the things usually ignored in the great "struggle for Texan Independence" from oppressive Mexican dictator Santa Ana is that one of the main "oppressions" that really upset the Texicans was the fact that Mexico had abolished slavery and king cotton had reached Texas and the rich land owners were not willing to do without their slaves.
