"The triangular trade linked Europe, Africa, and the Americas economically." The North America export sugar, tobacco, rice, and cotton to Europe and exchange of black African slave and textile, rum, and manufactured goods. One reaction to the triangular trade picture is that American used to Lynch, the African slave because of their skin color and their culture. During the slavery years, the American majority population also was afraid that the colored people would take their land. These were a justification of the mass lynching across the United States; But the African slave did not deserve the blamed because the whites when to Africa, their native country and took them like if they were animals or property to make them do the hard work whites did not do.

    Slave holders thought they were saving and protecting the black people by enslaving them and forcing them to work for them to make themselves and their white family wealthy, but instead they exploited them and were seen as a burden to society. All of this matters because it 's good to know the outcome of what slavery has done in the past, so in the future people don’t have the mind set to try to make slavery they way it use to be.

    Black workers were obliged to work permanently for their masters, unlike the white servants who were freed after a fixed amount of time. Also, slave codes had further limited the rights of blacks and ensured absolute power to their masters. The brutal and inhumane treatment that Africans have experienced from both their travels and work shows how the Southern economic system has caused for many lives to be destroyed. Although it is uncertain of the real motivations behind slavery, some argue that it was the idea that whites are above all other races while others say that slavery had been formed strictly for economic…

    Colonist saw Indigenous People as “savages” instead of human beings. Once they conquered land and needed people to take care of it they bought slaves. Once again they didn’t see Africans as human beings rather as slaves and profit. Even after slavery became illegal, African Americans struggled adjusting to a racist society. Even after Reconstruction, the south becomes more racist with the emergence of the KKK and Jim Crow Laws.…

    Slavery is a person owned by someone else who has no freedom at all. They are told what to do and what not to do and basically being controlled at all times. They are forced to work just because and have no rewards to it. They are owned by white people and after the Civil War many states outlawed slavery because they believed it was unfair, but it was the state’s choice so some states choice to keep segregation laws. The two main points that I will discuss in my essay are the root causes of the problems and issues African Americans faced during the Reconstruction Era into the 20th century and the solutions DuBois proposed to solve these problems.…

    One assumption is that Africans sold their people because the European traders forced them to. Also mentioned in Captives as Commodities: The Transatlantic Slave Trade by Lisa A Lindsay, the other assumption is that African leaders didn’t care for their people and that they were “simply immoral and greedy, selling out their own people for short term gains” (The Transatlantic Slave Trade). The political history for Africans using and selling slaves brought them wealth and power to their states. This is relative to the mothers in Cambodia selling their daughters for “short term gains” (CNN) to make ends meet, but as Africans went to war their purpose was to capture people not land. In doing so they used those captured people for there own self-production of goods and were also selling them to the Europeans and other countries for their own personal wealth.…

    The rebellions as well as religion led the legislators to develop more laws to sustain the distinction between the white lower class and black slaves. By the end of the 1600s, laws passed made it very clear that if an individual was black, he or she were a slave. There were only a few black slaves that were able to buy their freedom, people like Anthony Johnson, but even with that, it was hard for white people to allow them to live their lives as freed men. Those freed slaves always had to worry about the Europeans claiming their freedom as invalid and selling them off to slavery and keeping their lands to themselves. The class arrangement in North America had the lower class whites and the African slaves basically doing the same labors but where this gets dangerous is when the white workers revolt against the legislators and the African slaves join them.…

    After Nat Turner was caught, the state government sentenced Turner to be hung. Nat Turner claimed he did not feel guilty for the actions developed, because the slave population endures horrors on a daily basis. Resulting from Nat Turners rebellion, the southern portion of the United States tightened the reins on the slaves and even prohibited free slaves from living in a slave state. Additionally, Nat Turner’s actions led to people doubting the stability and the positives from slavery, thus introducing abolitionist sentiments in the south. These abolitionist ideas and morals arose in 1835-1849, but caused the southern states to take action against the abolitionists.…
