No. Actually villages sold off captured people in war in order to receive goods such as gold, guns, and horses. with these good they went back to capture more and more slaves to build their empire. So blame power hungry black people to the start of slavery.
Slaves were africans kidnapped from Africa by white traders, then sailed on boats away from Africa and then were sold to their owners. Actually most Slaves were SOLD to White Traders by the Chiefs of their tribes. Kidnapping was only a part of the Slave Trade.
She went to an all white high School and they called her the N-Word regularly she said. Then she up and marry a white man, Jonathan Bailey. I think they scared the Black out of her. Reischea Canidate is also married to a White man. Go figure. If you're a Black woman and want work on ESPN the requirement is to be married to a white man.
John Fairfield was a white man with rich parents, but saw the evils in slavery. He would perform interesting tasks jut to free black men and women. Once, he pretended to lead a funeral, set a fugitive in a coffin, and lead his family as "mourners". After the "ceremony", he and the fugitives left for Canada. He was not suspected much, because he was a white man and most assumed he was a slave owner who was taking his slaves to a sale, or something of the sort. Hope this helps :)

Well, there was the cotton industry. The cotton industry was big back in the 1800's. Planters were people that owned at least 20 slaves. They would be wealth families that were called "cottonocracy". Cottonocracy is a mix between cotton and aristocracy. There were two kinds of slaves, the field slaves, and the house slaves. While house slaves were still had a lower class than that of the lowest class white man compared to the field slaves they were like royalty. Back then field slaves were expected to 12 to 16 hours a day, but for some of the slaves owners that still wasn't enough.

They were slaves, they worked for food and shelter, not money. They would never get paid the white man took them from their country so the slaves could work for free on the white man's land and farms.

The white man.
People chase run away slaves because they got paid by the slave master or any other white person who wanted to purchase a slave, plus in 1850 it became law that you must return all ran aways back to their master. Alot of time the Black man they caught was not a slave, but a free person who happen to be Black but no one cared if the Black man was free or not all they knew was they could be paid for the capture of a Black man.
slaves were used to complete the jobs of the white man. Slaves were used to cook, clean, pick cotton, grow crops, plant, sometimes used to entertain. Some female slaves were to take care of the white man's children or pets. etc
Working the cotton fields. Playing servant to the "White Man".
Slaves could not be married to their owners, for their owners were most likely white. Back during the Civil War; and before then, it was not necessarily a law, but un-allowed for a black man to marry a white woman, or a black woman to marry a white man. I believe, to marry a white woman or man and be black, I think you must be an ex- slave. You can't be a slave if you marry a slave owner.
watch ROOTS the mini series, you will understand.
The act that states that slaves would count as 3/5 of a white man. (In terms of population.)
