The novel demonstrates many instance of mistreatment. Black people only get poorest jobs and hardest jobs.
In the South segregation was supported by the Jim Crow laws that made it legal. All public institutions in the South were separated according to skin colour, the ones for blacks being inferior in quality. In the north, where segregation wasn’t imposed by law, the blacks were forced to move into ghettos, because of discrimination by the whites. As well as that, there was also economic inequality. It was much harder for blacks to get a job, and there employment position could be described as ‘the last to be hired, the first to be fired’.

Many Southerners supported slavery and believed the economy would collapse if slavery were to be abolished. The slavery issue remained and caused constant conflict between states. Few Southerners owned slaves, but those who did controlled the economy and governments of the Southern states. Some slaves were treated badly and suffered through many hardships, some were whipped and most were deprived of an education.
This shows what black people, who were slaves, had to do. They were treated like objects, and not like people. They were an "inferior race", who's only purpose in life was to serve the white people. "The Killers" shows a different situation. Sam is a black man, that works as a cook.

Slavery, which was a major uproar from colonial America to the civil war, is the racial epidemic of the enslavement of people for money and cheap labor with extensive abuses.

It was in this context that started the entry of African slaves in Brazil . How was slavery in Brazil African blacks brought from Africa were transported in the holds of slave ships .

This resulted in the unfortunate incident of many Africans becoming unwilling participants in the institution of slavery.

Some contend that slavery caused and perpetuated racism, while others argue that racism caused and perpetuated slavery.
Slavery; Relations between the Black and White Man When looking upon American history in its entirety, there is a dark stain that spreads for a good chunk of the whole, starting almost from the beginning. Slavery, a word that doesn’t give enough justice to its name, a word that puts a bad taste in your mouth even though the people of today have never lived through its cruelty. Slavery may have started out as the selling of white European servants who came to America seeking a better life, but this is not the slavery that I speak off. The slavery that I speak off is the more vicious aspect of the word that grew out of that beginning. This slavery is by far one of the more difficult subjects to look upon when discussing American history and its influences.
