Slaves are people who were disrespected, treated as animals, hit, tortured, and abused. They were forced to work and be a servent to the rich. In some states though, slaves wererespected. They were treated as people and not some stupid animal. But beside all of this, their was one woman who helped some slaves escape from their stupid owners. Her name was Harriet Tubman. She helped slaves escape through the underground railroad. I give a salute to her. Now in these days, every person and animal are treated fairly. And for the people who treated people disrespectfully, try reading the Gettysburg Address. In these days, you would be killed, hanged, and thrown into and put into a poisinous room until there is only your ashes. Thanks for reading my post!! :):):):)

Where all slaves from Africa?

In early America, mostly. In the world, absolutely not. Our word "slave" comes from the world "slav," a European (white) people who were apparently taken as slaves a lot back in the day. Slaves could also be captured enemy soldiers of any nation, especially in the ancient world, when slavery was extremely common. Later on, kidnapping African tribesmen became the most profitable form of slavery.
