Throughout the 17th and 18th centuries people were kidnapped from the continent of Africa, forced into slavery in the American colonies and exploited to work as indentured servants and labor in the production of crops such as tobacco and cotton. By the mid-19th century, America’s westward expansion and the abolition movement provoked a great debate over slavery that would tear the nation apart in the bloody Civil War. Though the Union victory freed the nation’s four million enslaved people, the legacy of slavery continued to influence American history, from the Reconstruction era to the civil rights movement that emerged a century after emancipation.

Explanation:

The history of slavery spans many cultures, nationalities, and religions from ancient times to the present day. However, the social, economic, and legal positions of slaves have differed vastly in different systems of slavery in different times and places.

Slavery occurs relatively rarely among hunter-gatherer populations because it develops under conditions of social stratification. Slavery operated in the first civilizations (such as Sumer in Mesopotamia, which dates back as far as 3500 BC). Slavery features in the Mesopotamian Code of Hammurabi (c. 1860 BCE), which refers to it as an established institution. Slavery was widespread in the ancient world found in almost every other ancient civilization such as the Roman Empire. It became less common throughout Europe during the Early Middle Ages, although it continued to be practiced in some areas. Both Christians and Muslims captured each other as slaves during centuries of warfare in the Mediterranean. Islamic slavery encompassed mainly Western and Central Asia, Northern and Eastern Africa, India, and Europe from the 7th to the 20th century. The Dutch, French, Spanish, Portuguese, British and a number of West African kingdoms played a prominent role in the Atlantic slave trade, especially after 1600.

Read the passage below and answer the following question. the wars against carthage changed rome significantly. the roman senate had gained in power and respect compared to the other parts of the government. the romans emerged from the punic wars with the understanding that final authority over the military lay with the senate. also, the amount of land they controlled had grown. rome now considered spain as part of its territory, and it began what would become a long struggle to conquer the people of spain. the second war and carthage’s march through europe reduced the number of people in the italian countryside. men had gone off to war. people had died and people had moved to the cities to escape war. the new arrivals in the city of rome enjoyed the festivals and other public entertainment that were created to keep citizens happy during the dark days of the war. newcomers favored the city over the life of difficulty they had known working on farms. and after the war ended, many veterans from farming families decided to stay in cities, especially rome, rather than return to the countryside. cities in italy became overcrowded, and rome became the most populous city in europe and west asia. with the migration to the cities, farmland in italy could be bought cheaply. those with wealth began buying this farmland and increased their use of slaves to work those farms. many small farmers found themselves unable to compete with the larger farms and their large number of slaves. many small farmers gave up, sold their farms and joined the movement to the cities. passage taken and modified from: macrohistory : worldhistory website. rome went through many changes as a result of the punic wars. using the text above, summarize the main points about these changes. use at least four complete sentences and evidence from the text in your answer.
