Chattel slavery was used to exploit enslaved individuals for labor and economic gain. Enslaved people were considered property and deprived of basic human rights, subjected to harsh conditions, and treated as commodities that could be bought, sold, or traded. This system perpetuated racial and social hierarchies, with lasting impacts on individuals and society.

Chattel slavery was a system where individuals were treated as property, bought and sold as commodities. It was commonly practiced in the United States and other parts of the world, where enslaved individuals had no rights and were forced to work under brutal conditions. The abolition of chattel slavery was a long and difficult process that involved social, economic, and political changes.

The West Indians are decendants of slaves who either escaped or were released from slavery in the colonies of Britain in America and the Carribean. There was no slavery in Britain at that time, but the British did capture west Africans and supply them as slaves to the plantations of these Colonies.
