why did people own slaves
yes they did.
Maybe....(:
In Africa, some blacks did, and do in the present day, own slaves. In the United States of America I doubt if any black people held other black people as slaves.
bc they exchanges them for gold,guns and other goods.
40% of Pompeiians were slaves and 60% were free
They didn't
Yes, some black people in the United States did own slaves, although the practice was much less common compared to white slaveowners. Some free black people purchased family members or loved ones to protect them from being sold into slavery or to give them a chance at a better life. Others acquired slaves for economic or social standing reasons.
Slaves
No, slaves did not have there own room, whether they were on a slave ship, or in those tiny little huts the plantation owners called "houses".
Southerners called for states' rights and the preservation of the institution of slavery to protect their right to own slaves. They argued that the federal government should not interfere with the laws of individual states regarding slavery.
