Slavery was to be held against your will and forced to commit to free-labor with no intention of ever becoming free!. Slavery existed even in ancient times using your captured enemies as slaves, or force your subject to follow your rule etc!. and since then that trend in history has repeated its self in the 1960’s causing African Americans of both genders to be imprisoned because of their difference in appearance and skin color!. That one difference instilled fear in those who where not used to seeing the women short and stocky and the men long and thin or tall and very muscular with brown skin of different shades for this very reason is why slaves were imprisoned because the white people felt that we should get them before they get us!. During these times it was difficult to find a woman man or child of the African American race that wasn’t a slave!. Most picked cotton in fields where they worked grueling hours day and night only to be chained when work was done and feast on rotting meat and parts of the animal the owner didn’t want if they were lucky!. Other slaves whose skin was lighter in appearance usually worked as maids and butlers to the slave/plantation owner and his wife and children!. Being a slave meant you were black so you were often disrespected, demoralized, and hated!. Trying to escape was not an option and surviving was a daily task that you had to juggle between your works!. You were often punished if you needed something as simple as water and fought hard to learn to speak, read, write, spell, and keep your family safe from your master and other slaves who resorted to stealing when they were desperate!. I think what caused slavery was the demand for certain products but not having willing workers to satisfy it and also the human nature to either become scared and repel against anything that is different than what we are used to or to accept and envy it because we lack it but instead of envying it everyone became frightened suddenly being black was dangerous and since that was your race you were alienated and looked down upon and even thought of as not even being human even thought they shared all the same basic features!. Plantation owners used this to their advantage capturing young men and young women so they can grow to become strong and have strong children and women and men who were older to work until the others grew up making racism and hate towards people seem natural among almost everyone around them!. Although the life of a slave was very difficult not giving up and finding the light of things came naturally!. Songs kept you thinking about freedom and what words were next instead of your aching back, throbbing feet, and bleeding hands, dances made you feel free of worries and light-spirited, and stories were told of former slaves who escaped and did well in life or was funny because laughter was thought to cure and pain!. While they were hopeful slaves knew as long as the white people remained ignorant and fixated on differences instead of similarities they will not be accepted just like others of different races who were not white though they were not slaves life was just as difficult even today if people remain ignorant and let their fear of change and difference frighten them racism will never be completely abolished!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
