Improved Essays
Imagine this: a world where slavery still exists. People are placed randomly but nowhere to run to, can’t escape, and have had their basic human rights stolen from them. Men, women, and children are tied up to one another. They are unable to move, speak, or even eat unless given permission to do so. They are only granted a certain period of “freedom” but only to find that it is when work needs to be done. The men are separated from the women and children and are brought into slavery to perform forced labor until their bodies cannot physically take it anymore.

Their bodies ache and are numb to the point where they can’t even move to try and protect themselves anymore. And among this there are children hurt and dead inside but are still just trying to hang on to anything in order to survive. These innocent kids are both born and raised as a slave or are captured to become one. Some are even the children among the raped victims by their owner. This is an unbearable place to imagine. So, do you see a world where slavery still exists?
Because it still does.

    Slavery in the Southern settlements benefited the economy and provided the cheapest and most expedient way to meet the demand for labor in agriculture more significantly than the New England colonies. During the mid-seventeen century, the percentage of slavery in the South was a very minor need to sustain economic life. The next century, “Slavery would more; and more come to provide the great source of agriculture labor that white immigration, free or indentured, could no longer till, bringing with it decisive changes for every aspect of American history, all rooted in the need to sustain and accelerate the growing currents of commercial life” (Heilbroner 43). As a result of the reduced emigration, servants had disappeared from most Chesapeake homes.…

    Leigh Seeley February 22, 2018 In the 19th century, black men, women and children, commonly known as slaves, were subjected to terrible treatment by those who imprisoned them. From the paternalistic attitudes, to the poor living conditions and then finally, the resistance to the barbaric practice, slavery was a common (but horrifying) way to live life. Paternalism was based around an agrarian hierarchy where the master is at the top and is responsible for supporting all lower ranks (wives and children of the male slaves). This system helped the slaveowners to justify slavery because it hid the brutal reality of slavery and allowed slave owners to think of themselves as responsible and kind people.…
