Chapter 14 Voices of Slave Trade

                                                Voices of Slave Trade

The introduction of slave trade and exploitation provoked widespread resolves worldwide.   Many plantation owners felt slavery was justifiable because of profits  from the workforce for the plantations and mines.  Products such as cotton, tobacco, gold, silver, and sugar were traded internationally with Europe and Asia and slave trade was accredit to this production. However, victims felt slavery was unjustifiable.   Slave trade emerged racism and this spiraled other problems for the exploited victims. Inhumanly, goods were exchanged for human beings. 

Finally, I have no doubt that many African societies were hopeful and convinced themselves that they would receive benefits that were promised to them such as eventually receiving property rights. Unfortunately,  I conceive that some of the Africans were convinced that slave trade was necessary for survival.  It is clear to me that racism was rooted through slave trade and then grew throughout the European and Asia continents.   I place confidence this slave-trade system introduced disgusting crimes of the African slavery. I presume true that it was the Africans’ efforts throughout history, not the “white-man’s efforts” that bought humanitarian change.
