During the Civil War (1861-1865), the transatlantic slave trade had already been abolished in the United States since 1808, but the internal slave trade persisted, particularly in the South. Many enslaved people were sold and relocated to support the Confederate economy and labor needs. The war intensified debates over slavery, leading to significant changes, including the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863, which declared freedom for enslaved individuals in Confederate states. Ultimately, the Civil War was pivotal in leading to the abolition of slavery in the United States, culminating in the 13th Amendment in 1865.
Life was horrible and the slaves were kept in bad conditions and they smelled bad.
the education wasn't good it sucked because the slaves couldn't read or write they had to learn by them selfs and if the slave owners found out that they were being learned they would get beat
Like I know! Im asking you!
It actually didn't start in the U.S. It started in Africa, people traded their slaves to others but whilst still remaining a somewhat civil environment, they didn't treat them like The europeans or Anglo's did
The major slave trade centers in America included cities like Charleston, South Carolina; New Orleans, Louisiana; and Havana, Cuba. Charleston was a key port for the importation of enslaved Africans, while New Orleans became a hub for the domestic slave trade. These cities played significant roles in the distribution and sale of enslaved people throughout the southern United States. The transatlantic slave trade significantly impacted the economy and demographics of these regions.
The slave trade had massive influence over African Politics. West and East Africa were depopulated during the slave trade. This weakened native's states like the Oyo Empire and strengthened other empires like Ashanti.
Common slave names during the Civil War era included names like Sam, Tom, Lucy, and Sarah. These names were often given by slave owners and were commonly used among enslaved individuals during that time.
it was wonderful if you were a wealthy white land owner, and not so great if you were an african.
they were poor and rubbish
We'll never know, because there has ALWAYS been a slave trade in Africa, even today.
British opponents of the slave trade were Americans and French because the Americans did not like slaves and they did not want there to be slaves in British territories
Life was horrible and the slaves were kept in bad conditions and they smelled bad.
Some like it, some didn't.
very bad
the slave trade was abolished for many reasons, like economy was a big part in it, and some slaves them selves!!!
There are no similarities. The slave trade was a vile thing, but not a deadly disease like the plague or Black Death as it was called.
Thomas Clarkson researched a lot about the slave trade and then also joined a campaign to stop the slave trade. Both him and William Wilberforce, who were also good friends, worked about trying to solve the troubles of the slave trade. Thomas Clarkson also painted pictures so that people can see what it was like.
