African slaves faced many challenges along the way. During the…

    going through the middle passage of the Atlantic Slave Trade. Its common sense to know that the trade is wrong in the sense of human rights, but after my study I know that the trade is completely inhumane and dangerous for many reasons. Parliament should end the slave trade due to the fact that it is racist, unsanitary, and harmful to the people involved.

    countries were automatically superior. Although a fairly valid statement, natives had their own way of organizing and surviving. With well over several hundred languages already established, their own means of cultivating in correlation with climate, and trade agreements with other nearby tribes according to Christopher Clark in Who Built America.

Second, the Indians, being native, had a better knowledge of the land and its peoples, which made escape/revolt attempts more likely to be successful. Third, in response to debates…

On slave ships, they were tortured, whipped, and sacrificed (Oates 37). Many of the slaves died from diseases, suicide, and mutiny before even reaching the Americas (Berkin 93). The…
