Slavery In America Research Paper

Slavery has played a major role in the history of the United States. It has existed thoughout most of the human history and is still practiced in some parts of the world. Throughout history various legal, social, economic, and philosophical arguments typically involving prejudices of race, color, nationality, or religion were made to justify the slavery in the United States. The role of slavery in society attributed to the desperation and anger the slaves felt and lead them to strike against their owners in many occasions. Despite the threats and the unfair treatment, many people of color retaliated and firmly stood up for their rights as equal human beings. Slavery in America brought about a successful south but also proved to be one of the most terrible things done by humans to humans and is why slavery should not only be abolished for the benefits of African Americans but also for the

betterment of whole United States.
Slavery is always had been the bad instituition in United States because many planters who owned many lands in south owned large number of slaves.

The planters in the south thought that it was more economical to own slaves rather than paying wages. Slavery is one of the thing that everyone agrees is unethical because during slavery time slaves on plantations were often treated cruelly. They were forced to work for long hours and were kept in primitive cabins with terrible living conditions without food or water. However slavery is not only to describe but also to feel that how the childrens and other families were broken apart from each other and sold it differently through slave trade. In addition to that George Fitzhugh argument also stated that slavery supported them with christianity, safety, and assurance of the future. He also believed that slaves are the happiest people in the world but in slavery time slaves were violated human rights that stopped them from being free in dignity and in equality which clearly made his idea or views about slavery looked like

delusional.

Slavery, institution was based on a relationship of dominance and submission, whereby one person owns another and can exact from that person labor or other services. Slavery has been found among many groups of low material culture; it also has occurred in more highly developed societies, such as the southern United States. Our histories are intertwined by the blood of slavery and the spirit of freedom. Black Americans already know how they have worked hard to accomplished the achievements of white Americans but it is in the standard history of America seen through the eyes of white Americans. This is not to suggest that learning black history by white Americans would bring a quick and decisive end to racism or race issue in America but it is a critical pillar in the building a bridge between the two Americas. The word slavery is very critical word to define the cruelness of slaves being mistreated and had no hope to live just work and that is why slavery should be abolished to make everyone understand that every humans has right to do what they choose to do.

Thirdly, Slaves contribute significantly to the United States’ economy. Those enslaved know how to actually work. Their productivity as well as their consumption climbs as they are motivated to strive for a better life. Slaves also did their best to educate their children knowing this is a powerful buffer against slavery. The movement that ended slavery was abolitionism. Passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, the 13th amendment abolished slavery in the United States and provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction." This being said slavery is no more in United States but at the same time do we still not talk about the racism and the color of the people. Slavery during earlier time were wrong judgement of people thinking but intelligent and wisely people also did not thought of that issue because they were getting all the work done by slaves and on top of that they only get food and sleep on night. We as Americans are happy to know that there is no more slavery and will be none in future years.

In Conclusion, Slavery was not good for our country and all the Slave owners, traders, all institutions, businesses and governments that supported slavery were morally wrong to do so. However, slavery has been legally abolished in the United States of America for more than a century. The descendants of slaves are now all free men and women. They can make their own decision and choose whatever they want for themselves they are free on their own. Slavery has caused more racism around the country and we as Americans want to make sure that this history does not ever be repeated again. We do not want anyone to own someone for their work and as Americans we should have the rights to speak up if something is legally wrong. As in the saying of George Fitzhurg's argument that slavery is not only the bad institution but it should be abolished for better Americans thinking and for future.
