  • Slavery can be simply described as the ownership of human beings, buying and selling them for the sole purpose of forced and mostly unpaid labor and sexual exploitation. It is an ancient practice that has been found in almost all civilizations in the world
  • Even the Mayans, Aztecs and other smaller “nations” kept slaves in the Americas, as did the Sumerians and Babylonians in the Near East, and the Chinese and Japanese in the Far East. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks employed large numbers of slaves, including people of their own nationalities and others such as Jews, Europeans, Nubians and Ethiopians. Many slaves were employed as soldiers, servants, laborers and even civil servants. The Romans captured slaves from what is now Britain, France and Germany.
  • In northern Europe (Scandinavia), “trälar” were a kind of serfs, and in Imperial Russia in the first half of the 19th century one third of the population were serfs, or ‘unfree peasants’ called krepostnoy krestyanin in Russian, who like slaves in the Americas, had the status of chattels and could be bought and sold like common goods. They were finally freed in 1861 by Emperor Alexander II. Four years later in 1865, slavery was abolished completely and legally in the United States

  • sometime partially, mostly inherited from his parents, and he was required to render services to a feudal lord
  • raditionally, most societies in Africa, many with divine kings and strict hierarchical forms of government with local chiefs at village level, kept slaves as body guards, tax collectors, domestic servants and farm workers.
  • Most slaves from Africa were transported to Brazil, and from the port of Rio de Janeiro they were shipped further to other destinations in the Americas.
  • . The divisions between the different social classes were often not very strict because of intermarriage and social mobility.
  • Slavery and slave trade within East Africa were well established before the Europeans arrived on the scene.
  • Many Africans were domestic slaves, working in rich households. Many young women were taken as concubines, i.e. sex slaves. However, the bulk of the slaves in the countries around the Indian Ocean were from South Asia and South East Asia, particularly South India, Malaysia and Indonesia, most of them being women, many of whom were brought to East Africa by the Portuguese to work in their fortresses, naval bases and wine-houses or sold away as concubines.
  • Slavery has not disappeared completely; it exists today in various forms, mainly indoors, behind closed doors
  • Shrewdslave owners thus made some slaves buy their freedom fromtheir masters.
  • However, a slave could be given freedom by his owner of the owner’s free will long before the institution of slavery came t be finally abolished. If a slave had lived and behaved to the satisfaction of the master for a long period, especiallyif he were holding an important position in the master'shousehold, the master wrote him a document of freedom
  • Every year more slaves were required in East Africa for several reasons: 1. New clove and coconut plantations in Zanzibar and date plantations in Oman needed labor. 2. New farms in the interior of East Africa for production of food crops around inland centers along the caravan routes needed labor.3. More slaves were needed as porters to carry trade goods from the coast to the interior, and ivory and other products from the interior to the coast. 4. Brazilian traders, to avoid the British navy intercepting their slave ships in West Africa, had started obtaining slaves from the Portuguese in Angola, the Zambezi valley and the coast of Mozambique. 5. The French needed cheap labor on their newly started sugar and coffee plantations in the islands of Mauritius, Seychelles, Reunion, Rodrigues and southern Madagascar. 6. Many male slaves in Zanzibar and Mombasa would become free after some years in servitude, older slaves would retire or die, and new ships and businesses, building and 3construction work needed new slaves.

    The article talks about how Grandville Sharpe launched an investigation on slavery and later yielded in slavery and the slave trade being abolished. It also highlights a few men that God touched their hearts to be involved in making sure that all slaves from England are freed. The man saw that slavery is not good as people are treated as worthless and valueless. So the abolition of slavery gave black people the courage to rebuild what they lost during the time they were enslaved and their voices and opinions were now able to be heard. Even when the government people made decisions they were also considered.

    The pictures shows people working. the people that are working are slaves. I see that because even the youngest children are included in the work that they are dong. They are being supervised by their owner, making sure that what they do, does not lead to loss, but profit. It also looks like they are some that are manufacturing cotton, and some are carrying big bags of cotton. They look like they are struggling to carry the bags.

The letters discussed several issues that related to the conference, including the starting of the conference, the number of people that participated and the number of slaves that we held. It showed that the British government initiated the conference and made a progress towards the abolition of slavery and trade. It also highlights the political and diplomatic situations that occurred during this period in the effort to end the slave trade.

Slavery was a well known issue in the countries associated with the buying and selling of slaves.
