Slaves did jobs like looking after animals, others were in the fields working on the crops that were being grown, some slaves worked in the mills working the machines, slaves did any other jobs their owners wanted them to do. There were several reasons for abolishing slavery which will be discussed in this essay, some were humanitarian, some were economic. Examples of different views on why slavery was abolished were for example – one English historian, in 1869 said ‘The crusade of England against slavery may be regarded as one of the most virtuous acts recorded in the history of the nations’. Another example from a West Indian man, writing in 1938 said ‘Those who see in the abolition of slavery the awakening conscience of mankind should spend a few minutes asking themselves why it is that man’s conscience, which has slept peacefully for so many centuries, should awake just at the time when men began to see the unprofitableness of slavery’. One factor why historians believe slavery was abolished was because of the actions of white, middle-class campaigners such as Granville Sharp and William Wilberforce.
The way in which the Vietnamese workers were treated on the plantations could be compared to black slaves in the United States picking cotton on plantations in the South. They had to do hard manual labor and you frequently saw some getting beat for misbehaving or trying to desert. I did find it interesting how Eliane “adopted” Camille (who was Vietnamese) and got her a French education (and how she spoke only French for the first part of the movie).

However, after the Civil War, some of the suffragettes were outraged when black men got the vote but not white women. Susan B. Anthony wrote indignantly about: "Patrick and Sambo and Wong Tong making laws for the daughters of Adams and Jefferson, women of wealth and education". As with the suffragette movement in the UK, there was a strong class element to the struggle. The suffragette movement gained strength in America after black men got the vote (though most southern black men were effectively disenfranchised by literacy laws, the poll tax, threats and intimidation etc).
He was committed to the antislavery cause and worked unceasingly for improvement of black civil rights. In 1837 Reason, Henry Highland Garnet, and George Downing launched a petition drive in support of full black suffrage. He was also secretary of the 1840 New York State Convention for Negro Suffrage. Reason founded and was executive secretary of the New York Political Improvement Association, which won for fugitive slaves the right to a jury trial in the state. In 1841 he lobbied successfully for the abolition of the sojourner law, which permitted slave owners to visit the state briefly with their slaves.
The definition of Civil rights is, “The rights of citizens to political and social freedom and equality.” Many blacks fought for freedom from slavery and then fought for equality and an end to segregation. A large number of politicians and educators, white and black, fought and risked their lives to get rights and equality for blacks. African Americans were treated very badly, and had to suffer through segregation, racism, and violence. Booker T. Washington was one of the most influential black educators who fought for equality. Booker Taliaferro Washington was born on April 5, 1856.
