Slavery

Throughout this week, we mainly focused on the idea of slavery. Slavery in America, and everywhere else was horrific. It was abuse to the African American people. It all began when the first African slaves were bought to Jamestown in the year of 1619. Slavery was carried on throughout many years, and the freedom of the African Americans were lost. Slaves were bought for labor, because people believed they were a more plentiful labor source. It is devastating to see people being treated this way. Everyone should be treated the same, no matter what religion or race they believe in. In my opinion, slavery should have never happened. Placing a difference between people is incorrect, and is not fair to everyone in the world. Slavery impacted our society greatly, but as time went on slavery started to decrease due to many leaders who choose to stand up against slavery. There were many people and many acts that were antislavery because these people knew that everyone needed freedom. These people knew that slavery in our society would destroy the unity in which our 50 states hold today.Without this discrimination, our society has evolved to try to become one. Currently, everyone is free and they have their right to choose their own religion, but still in our society today there are some racist acts which still affects people negatively.
