Farmers in the south needed more control over their slaves and could not have them just leaving. This is where Capitalism came in and solved these southern farmers problems.

Slavery may have ended over a century ago, but it has caused even today’s society to separate because of the color of one’s skin. Many experts say that racism will not die even at the end of the 21st century. Scholars say that slavery is responsible for things such as homelessness, single-parent households, and youth violence. “Stephen Steinberg writes in the The Ethnic Myth that, ‘ghettos are nothing less than the shameful residue of slavery.’” Slavery also is the blame of African Americans for losing their “tribal affiliated” cultures and gaining the culture of slavery. Americans tend to ask themselves what they owe African Americans because of slavery and the answer is nothing. The history of slaves tends to makes the Caucasian /white race feel guilty because of what their ancestors
endured.

It was not hard to get passed the African people because Europeans had much more dangerous weapons compared to the Africans. Africans used traditional spears and shields as weapons but as the need for more slaves grew Europeans began to trade their weapons for more slaves. Slaves were abused and tortured in various ways. If one was weak, you were left to die. If one did not move fast enough moving from coast to coast to be traded, they were whipped.

In the 1600’s, slaves could either get married, testify in court, own legal property or make a family or they could make money to free themselves. The southern plantations were the most popular place to have slaves work. They usually did things such as farming, which is why the North did not have many slaves. During the time of slavery, they had many movements go on to stop slavery. For an example, The Underground Railroad was an escape system where slaves hid underground during the daytime and migrated all throughout the nighttime to reach the Mason Dixon line.
