White slavery

Slavery existed prior to triangular trade, however it was localized into various regions of the world, with many of a nation’s slaves being enemy soldiers defeated in battle. By no means is this humane, however these people are more like prisoners than slaves. Even indentured servantry supersedes pure slavery, as the indentured servants have freedom waiting on the horizon should they meet their service…

The future of Black America A reflection of Liberation and Spirituality In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue. I remember saying this in elementary school, the only black girl in class. We then would wait until February, Black history Month, to deal with any of the implications that came with colonization. The trans Atlantic slaves voyagers would last from approximately 1526 to 1867, kidnapping over 12 million slaves from the coasts of Africa. Almost 11 million of the surviving chained…

Similar to how slavery played a very important role in the founding of Rastafari in Jamaica, Haiti was a country plagued by centuries of a complex slave trade with European oversight. White, Christian slave owners severely restricted the practice of any foreign African religion, and more or less forced their slaves to convert to Christianity. Unlike other…

In order to keep up with the demanding labor efforts from principal countries a system of slavery was put in place. A system that had been in place for thousands of years, the only difference now was that human lives weren’t regard as such. Mere objects and things is what these people were. The very act of slavery meant an entire race was below that of any other, due to the color of their skin. The “white mans” means in cultivating the “savage”. From the tribes of Africa to the colonies of…

everything, neither were particularly revolutionary. Where Thomas Jefferson claimed all men were created equal and meanwhile held slaves his entire life, he created nothing new but a piece of paper literally declaring independence and freedom for white property-owning males...essentially the same rights they held beforehand. Where the French were inspired by the American Revolution and wanted to break away from monarchy, they were treated to Robespierre’s worse “republic” alternative—and…

Slavery in the English colonies went from being a few thousand enslaved Africans in 1670 to being an entrenched economic and social institution by the early 1700s as Africans were gradually viewed as a commercial gain and inferior to the colonists.

Human trafficking is modern day slavery, usually involving kidnapping, drugs, forced sex, forced labor or death. Men, women, and children from all over the world are bought and sold against their will, making trafficking one of the most deplorable crimes of the 21st century.
