My opinion on slavery is that it shouldn't be allowed because everybody should be treated equally. Slavery should not be allowed because it's not right to have someone do your work just because there a different color. Slavery should not be allowed im going to tell you why here is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do…
Schools across America teach that slavery ended when Abraham Lincoln declared on January 1, 1863, all slaves in states in rebellion against the Union "shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free." What the school systems fails to teach is the fact that although this proclamation indeed freed the slaves, it did not end slavery. In fact, there are more slaves in the world now than ever before. “Even though slave owners do no legally own their slaves like slave owners used to, they still control…

To this day, people treat African Americans differently, as if they have done something wrong when their ancestors were the ones who acted cruelly to those who…
Through the establishment of civilization had slavery been introduced to human history. Hunter-gatherer and other primitive farmers had no use for slaves because they hunted, collected, and/or grew just enough food for themselves and one more pair of hands just meant another mouth to feed.
