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. The slaves were not treated

well and they suffered from racism all of the time. This affected them emotionally because they

had no way to be in contact with their parents. The slave were just trying to fight to go back to

their families and for some rights.
