    Declan Farrell Mrs. Chumbayeva Social Studies 8 / Block G 27 March 2024 Slavery Essay Slavery played a large role in the cotton industry, especially during the late 1700’s and early 1800’s. Enslaved people were brought from Africa to the Americas in the Atlantic slave trade. The enslaved people were traded to the Americas from Africa in the triangular trade which involved Europe, Africa, and the Americas.

    Not only did Africans represent skilled laborers, but they were also experts in tropical agriculture. Consequently, they were well-suited for plantation agriculture. The high immunity of Africans to malaria and yellow fever compared with Europeans and the indigenous peoples made them more suitable for tropical labor. While white and red labor were used initially, Africans were the final solution to the acute labor problem in the New World.

    Even though slavery was generally common in America, a certain part of America is where it flourished most and that part was the south. When the invention of the cotton gin happened in 1793 that engraved the future of slave productivity in the south. This meant production of many items would be increased to a higher potential. When that happened slaves were in even higher demand than they were in the first place.

    So more slaves were brought in to practically double production rates! Cash crops like cotton and tobacco were raking in cash, encouraging slave owners to get even more slaves. But as we know, the more slaves, the more cruelty and abuse slaves faced, leading white men to grow power crazed and sadistic, but not in all cases. It varied, but was the general census. More rapes, more abuse, on not just black slaves, but as well as white women. Rape happened far much more now that white slave owners felt they had unlimited control. Most often, slaveholders raped unwedded slaves, but more than once that wasn't the case. This led to impregnation, sadly, which worsened the…

    Slavery originated from Africa "after the Bantu migrations spread agricultural to all parts of the continent." Africans would buy slaves to enlarge their families and have more power. Also, they would buy slaves in order to sell them to make a profit. It then spread out from Africa to Portugal and was said, "it is estimated that during the four and a half centuries of the trans-Atlantic slave trade, Portugal was responsible for transporting over 4.5 million Africans (roughly 40% of the total)." There was one purpose of slaves and that was work, at little or no cost. Nobody wanted to pay others when there really was not that much money in the economy to begin with. The Europeans wanted to expand their lands in the new world, but in order to do this they needed to have a "work force" instilled over there in order to be able to have crops and such to trade to build the economy. No European wanted to travel over to the New World in order to work, so to fulfill tasks, such as the farming in order to have items to trade, they had to get acquire help. The Europeans looked to the Africans to work on big plantations. The only way that Europeans could obtain "help" with the farm work and housework at no cost, was to force others to do it, hence slavery. Since African Americans looked different from the other cultures, they felt as if they were better than them and felt that the different colored skin and the different type of hair had somehow affected the brains of the African Americans. The Europeans decided to force labor upon the African Americans because they were superior workers. They "had experience of agriculture and keeping cattle and they were used to a tropical climate [and] resistant to tropical diseases."…
