Introduction and thesis statement
Anytime people see or hear the word ‘‘Slavery’’, they always tend to imagine or think of the Southern regions of United States during the Pre-civil War era. What majority of the people in our societies do not know is the horrible act that occurred worldwide to slaves. During slave trade and slavery, there was massive subjugation and torture of innocent people by other human beings. The history of slavery in the United States can be traced back to 1619 when 20 Africans were brought to the English colony of Jamestown. The essence of this paper is to examine the history of slave and the social, political, economic, and technological factors which contribute to the abolition of slavery and slave trade.
Fisher, M. (2013). Negro slave songs in the United States. The Journal article.
This article provides an in-depth analysis of how the slaves use songs to escape from captivity. Fisher asserts that slaves use the songs to express the sense of dissatisfaction, sorrow, and to inspire themselves. Singing at contraband comps helped slaves navigate the gray areas between freedom and slavery. Fisher argues that songs were passed down from one generation to another generation through slavery. From this article, it is clear that songs played a magnificent role in helping slaves cope with hard conditions as well as acquire freedom. It is relatively important to understand that songs were also a form of communication between slaves, especially when they were plotting to escape from White farms.
Genovese, E. D. (2014). The political and economy of slavery: Studies in the economy and society of the slave Southern region. Wesleyan University Press.
This article provides an interesting perspective on the political and economic factors which contributed to the slave trade and slavery in the United States. The high demand for free human beings to work in the White farms was one of the biggest reasons for the start of slavery. Industrialization, where the majority of people moved to urban settings, led to an influx of workers in rural settings. Shortages of labor in rural areas force the white supremacists to use extreme violence and force to solicit for sufficient labor. In a political perspective, Genovese (2014) argues that the negative misconceptions and myths towards Africans and Native Americans triggered the slavery in America.
Reisch, M., & Andrews, J. (2014). The road not taken: A history of radical social work in the United States. Routledge.
Reisch & Andrews (2014) provides a radical social perspective for the emergence of slavery in the United States and social impacts of slavery. The Reisch & Andrews assert that Europeans considered themselves to be the best and Blacks were considered to be socially inferior to whites. In additions, Black Americans were regarded by the Whites as people who did not deserve social, economic, and political rights. Such misinformed thinking made Europeans living in Virginia to force Africans into slavery. According to Reisch & Andrews, slavery led to the death of people, misery of families, and poverty. Socially, slavery led to the development of hierarchical society based on atavistic and agrarian.
