Babo, acting as the leader of the revolt, ordered the brutal slaying of any non useful sailors. The blacks aboard the ship become the masters to the remaining Spaniards. Babo begins to use many of the same actions a white slave owner would do to a black slave. Melville shows “this slavery breeds ugly passions in man” (Melville 77). Since slavery in itself is evil, it can be argued that the “evil” actions of someone while under the direct effects of slavery can be justified.
Asian, Hispanic, Native American's and African American's. African American's were considered the lowest level, and were forced into slavery. They were abused and often times killed if they did not do everything for an American. Native American's were drove off of their lands by the white European people.

Caliban is first introduced to the audience as a slave to Prospero, ‘Thou poisonous slave, got by the devil himself’. Straightaway the audience is presented with an image of Caliban as an evil slave. Prosperos introduction tells us a lot about Caliban from the start; the reader will wonder why Caliban is a slave to Prospero and also could feel sympathy for Caliban because of the aggressive language Prospero is using towards him. But as the play develops it becomes clear that Caliban wasn’t originally a slave and he only was a slave as a punishment for attempting to rape Prospero’s daughter Miranda. This shows that Caliban revels in his plans to dishonour Miranda and he seems satisfied with his attempt.
Zar Mohammad has earned a considerable sum of money and embarks on trading but he is ripped out of his money by the governor.

These methods affected the productivity and profitability of production. Slaves sabotaged the planters by destroying as many tools, crops and animals as they could. Meanwhile they lingered whilst overseers were not paying attention and deliberately worked at a sub standard pace. However the fiercest effort to overthrow slavery and the one that the planters feared the most was revolt. Slaves revolted by burning estates and buildings, destroying machinery and attacking the planters and overseers.
