AP world im guessing?
Slavery in African and Muslim societies was often based on social status or prisoners of war, and slaves had more opportunities for social mobility and could gain freedom through various means. In contrast, slavery in the Americas was primarily based on race, with slaves facing harsher living and working conditions, and often had little to no chance of gaining freedom.
Ancient Greece, Rome, the United States, and various African societies are examples of societies that practiced slavery at different points in history.
Slavery in the Americas contributed to the disruption of African societies by removing millions of people from their communities, leading to population decline and social disintegration. Additionally, the transatlantic slave trade further fueled intertribal warfare and instability in Africa as European powers sought to exploit local conflicts to capture individuals for enslavement.
Slavery was least common in ancient societies such as the indigenous societies of North America and some societies in parts of Asia like Japan. These societies had more decentralized forms of governance that did not rely heavily on slave labor.
Slavery has existed in various forms throughout history and different societies. The Atlantic slave trade brought enslaved Africans to the Americas starting in the 15th century, driven by economic interests and fueled by racism. So, while slavery did not start because of one singular cause, economic motives, racial bias, and power dynamics played significant roles in its origins.
Samuel Cornish was against slavery. He was a prominent African American abolitionist and journalist who co-founded the first African American newspaper in the United States, The Freedom's Journal, which advocated for the abolition of slavery and civil rights for African Americans. His writings and activism played a significant role in the fight against slavery.
yes the african slaves were brought to the americas
African slavery primarily involved the enslavement of individuals through capture in warfare or as punishment for crimes, with slaves often having some rights. European slavery, on the other hand, was based on race and involved the transatlantic slave trade, where Africans were forcibly taken to the Americas to work on plantations with no rights or freedoms. Additionally, African slavery existed within African societies, whereas European slavery was imposed on Africans by European colonizers.

Slavery existed in Africa before Europeans arrived, with various indigenous societies practicing forms of servitude or slavery. The transatlantic slave trade, which involved the mass forced migration of Africans to the Americas, was initiated and perpetuated by European nations beginning in the 15th century.

No, African slavery predated the Spanish conquest of the Americas. Slavery had been practiced in various African societies for centuries before Europeans began their colonization efforts. The transatlantic slave trade increased in scale and brutality following the Spanish and Portuguese colonization of the Americas, as the demand for labor in the New World grew.

Um. Historically...Technically African people during the colonial times of the United States region supplied free work for the Americas. That in they were brutally imprisoned, taken from Africa and forced into slavery.
