The Irish slave trade started when James II sold 30‚000 Irish prisoners as slaves to the New World. The Proclamation of 1625 required Irish political prisoners be sent overseas and sold to English settlers in the West Indies. By the middle of the 1600’s‚ the Irish were some of the main slaves sold. At that time‚ almost three-fourths of the total population of Montserrat were Irish slaves. Ireland became the biggest source of human livestock for English merchants very quick. The majority of the early

However‚ although the slave trade had been increasing‚ the economic changeover proved relatively simple. Rubber would take the place of slaves‚ with cloves providing additional assistance. In addition‚ the slave trade would take a toll on Africa and the potential of how productive they could’ve been. Labor was exported for a fraction of its value: slaves tended to be young‚ and most productive members of society. “Thus‚ Atlantic Africa experienced no significant economic “development” during the

My understanding of the African slave trade was solidified after reading this piece of literature. In chapter two‚ the process Equiano undergoes can explain what most slaves went through.

Britain has been active in the slave trade for over 100 years with about 47‚000 slaves travelling to America from Africa with our ships every year and on average 1 slave ship sailed every week from a British port. From 1698-present around 18 million slaves have been taken against their will and this is what we want to stop.

The spread of Islam into Africa in the 17th century increased slavery and the slave trade. African rulers justified enslavement with the Muslim belief that non-Muslim prisoners could be bought and sold as slaves.

The Holocaust was a terrible event that can often be compared to the horrific practice of slavery. Both events dealt with lowering human beings to a status of dehumanization. Slavery and the Holocaust created social and racial hierarchies that destroyed human rights and races as a whole. The Holocaust can be compared and contrasted to the events of slavery in the ways of power‚ death toll‚ and inhumane treatment of innocent people.

More than thirteen million people from over four different religions and races were killed during the Holocaust and Armenian Genocide in the Ottoman Empire. That is more than half the number of people that died in World War I. The book Maus by Art Spigelman tells the story of a man who was a victim of and lived through the Holocaust. The Holocaust and Amenian Genocide are indistinguishable because of not only the amount of people that died but also for three more main reasons. These reasons are
