What was the list of the various views of slavery in the west?
Well the main concern of many republicans in the Union during the time was to keep the West free as the nation expanded westward. The South (as well as many Northerners) were in support of popular sovereignty, which took place in the states of Kansas and Nebraska. Men from both the North and South literally packed up there belongings and traveled across the country to keep those states free/slavery-advocating. Along with this, you can consider the Alamo, in which American-Texans rebelled against the Mexican government. Much of this was due to the fact that the Mexican government forbidden slavery, which upset the southern Americans residing in northern Mexico (now Texas). In short, the West was far less concrete as far as views on slavery-advocacy goes. Generally, it was either abolitionist or slavery-supporter. Some people (generally Northernors) supported the idea of deporting the slaves and sending them to their native Africa, however this idea didn't last long.
When did slave trading start?
Since the dawn of man there have been slaves. Slaves were ( still are) taken in war and raids. Pirates often sold slaves through out the world to Greek, Roman, and other civilizations. Slavery built many of the ancient cities and temples. Slavery still goes on today and is not something that has disappeared, but has only gone more or less underground. Children in many third world countries are sold into slavery for sex and war. Even in the United States slavery still exists. Often illegal immigrants are kept as slaves because they still owe for the passage to the United States. Young women are kept as sex slaves by pimps and sold back and forth. This is not something that is gone or in the past.
What barbaric things did the Romans do?
Massive amounts of slavery. In Gaul the average price for a human slave was the same amount as a cask of Italian wine. Invaded and took control of large parts of Europe, the Middle East and Africa by force killing millions of people in the process. Destroyed the native cultures of the people they subdued in a process of Romanisation, (See Tacitus' Agricola chapter 21, I think, for a good section about the Romanisation of the Britons) The first Roman Emperor Augustus had the son of Cleopatra and Julius Caesar murdered because he could have been a threat to his rule. The Emperors Nero and Caligula both did terrible unspeakable things to their close female relatives. Killed vast numbers of early Christians for their beliefs which were at that time not tolerated by the Roman state. It was not against the law for a Roman man to kill his wife if he suspected her of cheating on him with another man. Nor was it against the law for a Roman man to kill his daughter if she tried to marry without his permission. The Romans liked to watch people kill each other in the arena as a form of entertainment.
