Slavery in Brazil began around 1532 and lasted until the 1800s. After Brazil abolished slavery, African slaves soon gathered in settlements in Rio de Janeiro. Favelas or shantytowns are inside and around large cities in Brazil, and homes are constructed with brick and cement.

People usually mourn when someone they love passes away, in Brazil, people no longer grieved over death. As…

Life as a slave was very interesting in 1789. Many slaves wrote Slave Narratives to show their life story. All types of Slave Narratives talk about one or two themes as a whole. They focus on why life as a slave was hard in reality and how they needed faith to fight for their freedom. Slave Narrative authors, Sojourner Truth, Frederick Douglass, and Olaudah Equiano, use the assurance of faith, the intensity of truth, and craving for freedom in their writing to promote the end of slavery.…

An emancipated slave, Frederick Douglass, in Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, relayed his life as a former slave and the events that led to his liberation in order to reveal the inherent unethicality of slavery.

Both “12 Years a Slave” and “Amistad have their fair share of the true history behind each film. In “Amistad” Spielberg somewhat abuses history to make the film more entertaining.

While that the film tells a true story of a group of Mende people from Sierra Leone, who take over a Spanish slave ship named A La Amistad, it is mainly A film of white…

Our story begins with one Geoffrey Crayon telling the legend of Captain Kidd, a notorious pirate and the treasure he had (we are led to believe) sold his soul to protect. Mr. Crayon imparts that Kidd had hidden his treasure in a Massachusetts swamp near Boston and made a deal with the devil for its protection. Kidd died and the treasure was left in the swamp; the devil still guarding it. Skip time to 1727 in that same area of Massachusetts near the swamp where Tom Walker, a miserly man, lives…

Capture Originally, white slave traders would go on kidnapping raids, but after this method proved too dangerous for the Europeans, they instead established hundreds of forts and trading facilities along the West Coast of Africa. Rulers of local areas and black merchants captured and delivered people to these trading posts and went on to sell them as slaves to European ship captains.

paid a debt that you owed and you were able to go home once the debt was paid. It was not permanent. New world slavery was for profit and it was permanent. If you had children that meant that your child was going to be a slave. Africans did sell other Africans during the slave trade but I consider it more of a lending process.
