Slavery and Resistance Thesis

Slavery is one of the worst acts the world has ever had and has ever known. The

Europeans and Americans traveled to Africa and took africans away from their families and

forced them to work for them on their farms and as their helpers ( ie slaves ) The slaves were

not treated well and they suffered from racism all of the time. The slave were just trying to fight

to go back to their families and for some rights. Slavery did not just affect Africans, Europeans

and Americans it also affected other people as well, But who did it affect the most?
