African-American freedoms have been limited in many ways since they were kidnapped by the hundreds of thousands from Africa and brought over to America as slaves in the 1600's. They were emancipated in 1863, but they were still far from equal. Segregation was an instituted policy until the 1950's, and millions of them still live in abject poverty in ghettos. Their freedoms are still being limited.

How is African American slavery compared to serfdom?

African American slavery in the United States was based on race and chattel slavery, where individuals were considered property with no rights or freedoms. Serfdom in Europe was based on feudal obligations and tied individuals to the land, but they still had some limited rights and could eventually buy their freedom. Overall, African American slavery was more brutal and dehumanizing compared to serfdom.
