Not enough biographical information is given to determine whether or not Mr. McGranahan is an expert in the field or whether or not he is biased toward the subject of slavery in America . Most links are up-to-date, but a few redirected me to pages that were still in progress. I also could not find a link to the sources used.

    Summary: The Cruelty Of Slavery

    What is slavery? According to Dictionary.com it is the process in which “a person who is the property of and wholly subject to another; a bondservant”. Slavery is very unheard of in this millennium era for as it first occurred in 1619 when the first African Americans were brought over to North American colony of Jamestown and ended in 1865 when the thirteenth amendment was ratified and abolished slavery. For many of the persons in this new generation not a lot of reflection is focused on slavery and its cruelty. It is up to the few who are given the opportunity to share the truth of the violence and exploitation of slavery and the harm it caused not only to the newly founded country but specifically the South. Slavery was a chain of unjustifiable…

    Slavery is an American embarrassment; in present day, African Americans and woman have gained the basic rights given to every American. (3) Slavery existed in every colony in the New World from Canada to the Rio de la Plata. (3) It emerged as a way of buying and selling humans to produce labor needed on the Plantations in the early seventeenth century. However, prior to the full system of slavery, blacks were relatively equal to whites. They were able to own land, make their own money, and live with the same rights as whites.…

    Slavery by Another Name

    Students are taught in most schools that slavery ended with President Abraham Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation. However after reading Douglas Blackmon’s Slavery by Another Name I am clearly convinced that slavery continued for many years afterward. It is shown throughout this book that slavery did not end until 1942, this is when the condition of what Blackmon refers to as "neoslavery" began.…

    Why Is Slavery Important Today

    We all know about slavery: from the construction of the pyramids, to Moses and the Great Exodus from Egypt, the gladiator duels in the Roman Empire, to the plantations in the Americas. Slavery is a thing of the past – civilizations shadow. Slavery a remnant of the past, a practice used by the uncivilized, non-existent in today’s modern world. But the truth is: More people are enslaved and in bondage today than in any other point in human history. Thirty-six million people are slaves worldwide. Slavery exists in all the one hundred sixty-seven countries that have abolished it (Hess and Frohlich). Slavery was never confined to third world countries only, it hunts freely in Canada, America, Europe, and Australia. Slavery is alive and growing,…

    Position of slaves from their perspective

    Generally, slavery is the worst thing in human history. In this essay, I will state a few facts about how they were treated before, during and after the Civil War. Slaves, since they were brought to America, had treatment of „ignorance“. In fact, the owners kept their slaves stupefied, they did not learn anything except for work. Nor did they know the current date, not to mention date of their birth. You could not meet a slave, (later a former slave) who knows his date of birth. Children were separated from their mothers at a very early age. The reason for the separation was that the mother, who is still young, hires somewhere for work on a field and a child is raised by older women who could no longer work in the field. Some evil mastermind figured this out to exploit maximum of slaves in ther lifetime. Some of the owners were wery sadystic, they tortured slaves, rape the women and children.…
