In the 18th century, the United States was the centre of African American slavery. Primarily, most of the slaves were from African and worked in the large plantations. The majority of blacks living in the United States during the 18th century were treated as slaves. It was nearly impossible to find a black person who was not a slave. In fact, African-American slavery was legalized in some states such as Maryland and Virginia. This was intended to provide an opportunity for the whites to enslave more Africans to work in their large plantations. Essentially, slaves were harshly treated by their masters, ...

Slavery played a profoundly important role in the making of the United States, as the institution grew from the handful of Africans landed in Virginia in 1619 to the four million African Americans held in bondage at the beginning of civil war in 1861. The bound labor of at least twelve generations of black people crated great wealth for slaveholders, wealth which later translated into a greater political power. The slave trade empowered the American nation which later led to industrial revolution with slave labor producing products like cotton which is a well known cash crop.

The word “slavery” evokes many emotions: shame, anger, empathy, and pride. We have come a long way from slavery; imagine what slaves would think if they found out that America is ruled by a Negro president. They would produce a new Negro spiritual song that no one has ever heard. In that song they would sing about the cruelty, they endured and at the end of the song they would sing with great gusto, Free at last! Free at last!

Slaves faced unusual hunger every day of their lives. They were underfed, and even if they were given adequate food while they ...

Levers that set the wheels of social change in motion often seem banal and insignificant from a modern perspective. In the 17th century, sugar was little more than a dietary novelty, a foreign curiosity that improved the taste of brackish teas and sedimentary coffee for the wealthiest members of English society. A century later, the uncanny growth of the cane-based product had made it an irreplaceable commodity that would saturate the British market and lead to a sea change in Western Europe’s economic framework. The means by which sugar was produced and financed helped to revolutionize the very principles upon which English ...

Many Americans today brush off the idea of slavery, believe that it is in the past and does not matter. However, it still matters very much to a large portion of the country, and is still an important part of the country’s ...
