Slavery power point presentation
1) Slavery has existed in various forms throughout history, including the involuntary servitude of Africans beginning in 1619 in America, child sex trafficking in places like Haiti today, and widespread use of slaves in ancient Rome and Greece. 2) Modern slavery persists around the world, with over 20 million people currently being held as slaves, especially vulnerable groups like women and children. 3) While some slave systems treated slaves relatively well, most involved hard physical labor without possibility of freedom, and slaves were often subject to cruel conditions and abuse.

- 3. To beginwith, in 1619, 20 Africans were brought to America aboard a Dutch ship. They were marked as servants, charged to work to repay, their transportation, food and board then they were released as free men. Even though they were freed after their labor was completed they were still brought over involuntarily. Originally, the work was not inheritable. The slaves were expected to perform hard labor and, in some cases, sexual favors.
- 4. From whatI could find, race was not a determining factor in a person’s slavery. There was a report, however, of three slaves (two European, one African) having run away, the European slaves were expected to continue working for one more year then attain their freedom while the African was made to keep working until he died.
- 5. All over the world, at any given moment there are over 2o million people being held as slaves. Considering the world’s population is three billion, that’s too much.
- 6. I was reading and doing research, and well this guy wrote a book. And when he was doing research for his book he was in Bucharest, he came across this girl. She had Down Syndrome, she was under 15 years of age, she was being raped 3-4 times a day…this is real. This kind of thing happens everyday and hardly enough -to put a crack in the number- is being done about it.
- 7. IN HAITI Take Haitifor an example if you would. Children are sold there as sex slaves and hard laborers, working in fields or cleaning monstrous mansions, or either they’re raped and beaten. Children are either kidnapped or sold by other slave traders to one another in exchange for money and goods. Adults are not used as slaves because not as much money can be made off of them, children under 15 years of age is most common. “Race didn’t matter,” one article stated, “As long as it’s black, it’s ok..” It? A pronoun restating a human being?
- 8. MODERN SLAVERY INHAITI CONT. Labor probably isn’t inheritable. From what I could tell, if a woman became pregnant, she was A) made to abort the child or B) the child was born, raised and then sold as another slave. Usually, in modern slavery, slaves cannot earn their freedom, they’re either worked to death, or released by their owners.
- 9. SLAVERY IN ANCIENTGREECE AND ROME • Slaves were most used in history in Rome. • Rome had their prosperity to thank the slaves for. • Romans, however, treated their slaves very well. Often taking them in and treating them as their own children.
- 10. Slavery in AncientGreece and Rome cont. The labor consisted of agricultural work, business and construction. Race was not considered a factor in determining slaves, most were given as a peace offerings or taken as war prisoners. The work was not inheritable either. Most slaves could not obtain freedom.
