The United States changed dramatically in a very short time after the Revolution, the transition was not an easy one, militarily, politically, and culturally. Socially, the new emphasis on egalitarianism and individual rights changed the relationship and roles. America’s call for freedom from British oppression while still being a slave society was undeniably ironic, yet, the Revolutionary movement initiated serious consideration of the issue of slavery. Both Americans and the British made various arguments concerning the irony. As slave-owning and slave trading were accepted routines of colonial life, slavery would play a central part in the language of the revolution.
While many disregard this system as cruel and unfair, in reality it helped to shape America as it is today. Without the help of this system, economies would not be as developed as they are now. Unfree labor played a very important role in shaping the economy and society of colonial American through the use of indentured servants and slavery. The system of temporary servitude in the New World was established out of practices used in New England. In short, indentured servants were mainly poor British people without jobs.
II. Slave Life, According to Ex-Slaves Straight from the interviews of those who had personally experienced slavery came the accounts of what life was like for them during the days of slavery. Following are just a few of the aspects of their experiences and lives that these people shared. A) Master-Slave Relationships The dynamics of the relationships of the slave owners and their slaves are very well described in the stories read in this film. The way in which the owners treated slaves served ultimately to allow them to keep their slaves submissive, cooperative, and fearful.
Frederick Douglass’ personality is shown in a few different ways in The Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass. His book was an in-depth look into the life of a slave in the mid 1800’s. The book helped people get a better view of how slaves were treated, on gave fuel to the Abolitionist fire. Frederick Douglass’ Narrative was a first person historical account of slavery. Since it is an account written by him, he helps us today to see slavery without exaggeration or Government re-written history books.
Slavery has become a popular discussion after the civil rights movement because it has been allowed and more socially accepted to deal with the issue. Before slavery was a popular discussion, Indentured Servitude is what used to be discussed and has now been replaced with the topic of slavery. Slavery is considered the owning of another human being. Being an indentured servant was kind of like a trade. What we do not know is that slavery and indentured servitude are very closely related on a continuum of coerced labor.

Literature review The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution (1938), by Afro-Trinidadian writer C. L. R. James (4 January 1901–19 May 1989), is a history of the 1791-1804Haitian Revolution. The text places the revolution in the context of the French Revolution, and focuses on the leadership of Toussaint L'Ouverture, who was born a slave but rose to prominence espousing the French Revolutionary ideals of liberty and equality. The Making of Haiti by Carolyn E. Fick (1990) also places the Saint Domingue rebellion in relation to the larger revolutionary movements of the era; it provides background on class and caste prior to the revolution, the workings of the plantation system, the rigors of slave life, and the profound influence of voodoo. By examining the rebellion and the conditions that led to it from the perspective of the slaves it liberated, she revises the history of Haiti. Objectives 1.
Ownership of the slaves granted the masters power to use these slaves in their favor, wether it be in the fields or their houses. Coulibri during early 1800s was very well maintain, as it was owned by Massa Northbert Roget , who was quite wealthy due to his work and inherited wealth. Slaves employed to work for Coulibri were very well disciplined and trained to maintain Coulibri to its glory, wether it be house condition inside or outside.

Therefore, Coulibri described by Rhys is in a state of disrepair and decay, the Estate represents the downfall of the colonial empire and the aftermath of its exploitative reign in the West Indies.
This led to an economic strength that made these states even more adamant about defending the right to own slaves. There was no question that without slavery the antebellum would crumble and thus the South was able to weather the growing number of revolts, rebellions, and northern political opposition that was mounting. Edicts such as the Fugitive Slaves Law attempted to curb the flight of slaves to the Northern states and the Underground Railroad became a serious threat to Southern plantation owners who needed ever more assistance from this free work force to maintain their economic prowess. The Nat Turner revolt as well as the outspoken writings and speeches of the former slave Frederick Douglass contributed to the growing dissent but the South defended their claim to economic security through slavery until it became legally impossible for the to do so after the Civil War. The Thirteenth Amendment formally declared an end to slavery and despite the amount of money and political effort spent defending the right to use slavery, the South was left behind the desires of the North, which was growing economically as a result of industrialization and was home to ever-growing numbers of abolitionist
