Civil Rights Movement - Dr. History
Chapter One: The Origins of Slavery and the Slave Trade
Slavery can be traced far back 11,000 years ago. Over the following centuries, slavery evolved into a business for those who could benefit from capturing and selling a person. This practice was something that was always part of human history, especially in European history. Most likely started by the Greeks, who used to enslave barbarians who were not able to speak Greek but were able to perform hard labor. When the Romans took over, slavery was taken to a whole new level. Romans had enslaved so many of their people that it is estimated to have taken up about thirty percent of their total population. The Roman government would capture slaves themselves or purchase slaves from slave traders. The Romans then used these slaves for hard labor and menial tasks such as fanning their masters or becoming guards and soldiers.
To begin with, slavery is when a person has taken ownership of another human being and orders them to do various labor for little to no payment. Once a person has been purchased and is thus turned into a slave, the owner does not need to pay them wages. They would really only need to ensure that the slave is fed and healthy – or as healthy as a slave can be.
Slaves are often mistreated. As human beings, they are still capable of having their own thoughts and choices, and thus slave owners would tend to be cruel in their ways to convince slaves to do their bidding. Many would use various ways of inflicting physical pain to get a slave to do the hard labor required. Often, slaves were captured from small villages and forced to become slaves for the nobility and wealthy. Slaves are often treated as not humans, simply a commodity sold from one person to another, like how cattle and other animals are sold off at the market.
The slave trade grew once the Transatlantic Slave Trade started in the 1500s, known as the Age of Exploration. This was when many European countries sent explorers on expeditions to check out foreign countries, trade goods, and learn about other cultures. One of the major players in the Age of Exploration was Portugal. Portugal had sent ships off to trade spices, textiles, and other goods to nearby countries. They traveled south and landed in Africa. It was here that they found something they considered more valuable:
