Torn from their origin culture and given fakes names and other religions. Blacks were the only migrants to come to America against their will. In the 1800’s the US constitution put an end to importation of slaves. Unfortuanly Eli Whitney's invention of the cotton gin greatly increases the demand for slave labor. So the Yankees couldn’t bring no more over, or just couldn’t call the Africans “slaves”.
Written by Mark Twain this story depicts the relations between blacks and whites during a time of slavery. This book should be read because it was written at the time when the slavery issue was coming to a head politically, it is leading up to the civil war, and people should want to know more about their own history and the language used in that time. Huckleberry Finn’s main thematic point against slavery is the statement of Jim that then grows into love. Huck learns to treat Jim as an equal and it depicts how the character development of Jim nurtures into a real human individual, much more than a slave. I believe high school students should read this to understand what exactly it was like to be an African American slave during that pastime.

One of the first protests against the enslavement of Africans came from German and Dutch Quakers in Pennsylvania in 1688. One of the most significant milestones in the campaign to abolish slavery throughout the world occurred in England in 1772, with British judge Lord Mansfield, whose opinion in Somersett's Case was widely taken to have held that slavery was illegal in England. This judgement also laid down the principle that slavery contracted in other jurisdictions (such as the American colonies) could not be enforced in England. [ Slavery in the United States was governed by an extensive body of law developed from the 1660s to the 1860s. Every slave state had its own slave code and body of court decisions.
With all these factors, they only take place because of the enslavement of Africans. Africans were shipped from many regions of Africa but mostly from those areas along the coast. The Bantu, along the Guinea coast had largest homogenous culture followed by the Mande, thus the culture of African-Americans was influenced the most by the people of these regions. In the colonies the economic demand for slaves and the demographics of the slave population had an enormous effect on the development of Afro-American culture. Never did their exist one Afro-American culture, for each area had a different social, economic, and political reliance on slavery, which characterized a unique slave culture.

Slavery has existed from the times the human era has started. The phase that slavery took during 16th century cannot be found in any other human history.

Negroes were brought in as indentured servants but later on sentenced to slavery as they tried to escape from there service.
The African American community had to deal with much discrimination throughout history. Beginning the discrimination was when Europeans shipped enslaved African Americans into the Jamestown colony in 1619 to help harvest tobacco (Slavery in America, 2012. Slaves evolved to tend different crops for the slave owners including sugar, rice, and wheat. Enslaved African Americans worked from sun up to sun down in the hot fields to tend crops (Slavery in America, 2012). Once the Civil war was started blacks tried to join the Army but were turned away because of a law that was being upheld to keep African Americans from enlisting.

In 1968, the National Advisory Commission on Civil Disorders stated: "Our nation is moving toward two societies, one black, one white- separate and unequal." By mid 1965, public concern over the Vietnam War placed it as the nation's most important problem, rising above civil rights. Polls conducted by several organizations showed blacks, in sharp contrast to whites, and were extremely pessimistic about their future under Reagan. Civil rights activities in the 1970's and early 1980's sharply decreased. On Pg.
