Part 1: Introduction
The tremendous growth of the Canadian economy was aided by the African slaves who worked for the Canadians. This economy led to the growth of industries among others as a result of presence of the industrial materials and labour offered by the slaves in the industries. The enslavement that Canadians used for their own gain was of huge harm to human health as illustrated in slavery and colonisation. This research portfolio investigates economic growth in Canada through transatlantic slave trade which involved buying and selling of slaves at the borders of Canada. The slaves were the people from Africa whose function was to work without payment for the Canadians. The people who were bought as slaves were to meet certain requirements. For instance, being resistant to diseases and being energetic. Additionally, the slaves contributed much in the growth of the Canadian economy by doing house chores as well as working in the farms and industries for the Canadians. Besides, the Canadians who owned slaves were considered well – heeled. Moreover, these slaves were well – treated by some of the Canadians in contrast with the slaves of other states. Slave managers handled the slaves well by offering them education, paying them for their services and the deceased were taken back to their relatives to be buried. This proposal argues slaves in Canada were rescued from captivity: there are several evidence on how Canadian slaves were rescued: biography of Hackett Nelson and Harriet Tubman are some of the evidence.[Miller, British Rights, 1835.]
