    Sharecropping was just a step up from slavery, but it allowed newly freed slaves to "somewhat" have something of their own. I say somewhat because their former master still had control over them because they had to sign a sharecropping contract. This sometimes required them to work 10 hours a day and also in harsh conditions. If the sharecropper went against the contract then it would be deducted from their pay. However, through this they were not land owners. They got paid for their work, but some of that money went to taking care of their family and the rest went to paying back debt they owe. They would ultimately in this cycle of owing because they do not make…

    I agree with Mitch, I was surprised by the idea that a slave could make their own money, to the point that they could buy their own freedom. At first I was confused as to why a slave master would agree to letting their slave buy their freedom, but after some thought it seems logical. If the slave gives them enough money then the slave owner can buy another slave with that profit. Their next slave will likely be stronger because they won't have been worked so hard.…

    The expansion of the British American started with Columbus discovery of the New World. This is where two grand worlds collided; that being the Old World and the New World. Once the Europeans started coming over they realized what great land and grand wealth there was, thus they kept coming and expanding their people. As this happened between the wars where they were taking land and lives of the Native American Indian, decreasing their numbers immensely (McCarthy, 2014). The Europeans were far more advanced in weaponry verses the Native Americans with bow and arrows that accounted for a lot of life loss.…

    The practice of involuntary labor in Colonial America operated from the early 17th century to late 18th century. The two most popular forms of involuntary labor were indentured servitude and slavery. Often indentured servants are of European origin either carrying out their sentences or paying off their passages. The Experience of Bondage: Gottlieb Mittelberger’s account, 1754, was written by a German schoolmaster about his voyage to Philadelphia as an indentured servant. In his account, he describes the horrid conditions faced by voyagers from the tightly packed spaces, sickness and the purchasing process of servants. At the same time, the labor system of slavery was in practice. The advertisement of runaway slaves in the sections, Wanted:…

    Slave families could be broken up at anytime at slave auctions, and would not be put back together. For example, in the article the author wrote," She [Eliza] begged the man not to buy her son Randall unless he also bought herself and her daughter Emily. She promised, in that case, to be the most faithful slave that ever lived. The man answered that he could not afford it. Then Eliza burst in a paroxysm of grief, weeping mournfully." This quote expresses how easily slaves could be ripped from the arms of their family members. If a slave were to refuse to be sold, or refuse to work in the field, they would be whipped. Even worse, if a slave tried to run away, they would be tortured and killed. The life of a slave is extremely unfair, because the slaves had no say in their treatment and were treated even worse than cattle on a…

    In the nineteenth century Americans had visions of how life was going to be good, by having a small farm with workers that was self-directed which would make them small producers. During this time there were specific strains that were emerging the movement of the working class. This would help transform the artisan republican ideology in to the “wage slavery.” In between the years 1870 to 1920 “focuses on the reform unionist, populist, socialist, and syndicalist movements in the US labor history that aimed to enhancing workers’ control and eliminating “wage slavery”.

    Slaves do not have an option to decide whether they are born a slave or not, nor do they choose to be one either. In Octavia Butler’s Kindred, we find that a slave’s actions do not directly make them a slave, and nothing that they can do will affect the status quo of slavery. Rather it is the actions that a slave-owner makes that makes a slave, and in doing so takes away their humanity.…

    Americans were forced to work in even harsher conditions as inmates because the owners of their lease had no incentives to protect their lives. Slavery continued in the south disguised as convict leasing. The debate of our judicial system is deeply embedded in the creation of utilizing convict labor as a system targeted at black men and women designed to criminalize them as a race.…

    I am a female slave, given into slavery for 4 years by my father, he owed a debt that he could not pay. A debt for grain that he was to pay back 3 fold. The debt collector would have taken what little we had and perhaps would have made father pay with his life if Hammurabi had not made a way for my family to cancel our debt in this way. It is only for 4 years, such a long time for so little a debt, but we are fortunate to have this option. I will be provided with the basic necessities for survival. I am counted as nothing more than property, or currency, for my Master. I am not considered human. I was formerly a member of the middle class, paupers that can farm. There are only three classes in our society, the wealthy, the poor, and the slaves. Now, I am a slave for the next four years. It is very common practice, so much so that even the poor have slaves. Our most common forms of currency are grain, silver, slaves, cattle, and livestock. As you can imagine, I am not alone in my experience in slavery. Many of my peers are or have been enslaved at least once in their lives. Both my mother and father were slaves at some point. Many female slaves usually end up with their Master for many more years than the 4 required by law. After 4 years, they are no longer slaves and are often in the same class as the man they have lived with. In our society many children are products of those relationships. Until the time of slavery is up, I must work off a debt. I am not permitted to deny my Master, or I could be punished. One such punishment could involve having my ears cut off. This is not very common. Many of us understand we are here to work and that we must be submissive to avoid conflict. As I mentioned we will be allowed the basic necessities, food and water, and protection from the environment if the weather is harsh. The laws of how I live as a female and as a slave are outlined in Hammurabi’s Code. Hammurabi is a fair and just man. I feel his laws are fair and just…
