New York was also, paradoxically, the capital of American slavery.

For most of its history, New York has been the largest, most diverse, and most economically ambitious city in the nation. No place on earth has welcomed human enterprise more warmly. New York was also, paradoxically, the capital of American slavery for more than two centuries. In October, 2005, The New-York Historical Society begins an unprecedented two-year exploration of this largely unknown chapter of the city’s story.

In late August of 1619 a Dutch ship brought twenty Africans to the recently established colony of Jamestown. These twenty Africans slowly evolved into a minority race in the British colonies.

The Underground Railroad.

Imagine you are a slave in the South in 1850. You work six long, hard days a week, toiling in the fields of your master; it seems very unlikely that you’ll ever be freed. Then, you hear from an old friend of yours who has escaped that he is now living in the North and wants you to join him in freedom. Do you dare? If you are caught the punishment will be severe, but if not, you can live in freedom. Who can you turn to for help?

You are a slave.

Your body, your time, your very breath belong to a farmer in 1850s Maryland. Six long days a week you tend his fields and make him rich. You have never tasted freedom. You never expect to.

And yet . . . your soul lights up when you hear whispers of attempted escape. Freedom means a hard, dangerous trek. Do you try it?

in keeping with possibility evaluate how British Abolition worked out peacefully on an identical time as we fought our tragic Civil conflict. What have been the monetary, political and cultural transformations that allowed the united kingdom to abolish slavery devoid of secession or dropping colonies? replaced into it so basic as a much extra stepped forward agragarian plantation equipment interior the U.S.? How have been “natives” dealt with in colonies for enormously much yet another one hundred fifty years that replaced into diverse than slavery? any a form of would take 8 pages, reckoning on intensity.

Are you kidding me, If you are talking 1800’s. We were the prime benefactor of the trade.
