Slavery in America began when the first African slaves were brought to the North American colony of Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619<span>, to aid in the production of such lucrative crops as tobacco.
DO YOU REALLY WANT TO KNOW WHERE, WHEN, AND WHY SLAVERY CAME AND WHEN IT REALLY CAME!!??? OK then, prepare to experience a GENIUS ANSWER like no other...
As we all know, t<span>he </span>history of slavery<span> spans many </span>cultures<span>, </span>nationalities<span>, and </span>religions<span> from ancient times to the present day. However the social, </span>economic<span>, and legal positions of slaves were vastly different in different systems of slavery in different times and places. </span>Although slavery is no longer legal anywhere in the world, human trafficking<span> remains an international problem and an estimated 25-40 million people are enslaved today.</span><span> During the 1983–2005 </span>Second Sudanese Civil War<span> people were taken into slavery.</span><span> Although </span>Slavery in Mauritania<span> was criminalized in August 2007, </span><span>in </span>Mauritania<span> it is estimated that up to 600,000 men, women and children, or 20% of the population, are currently enslaved, many of them used as </span>bonded labor.<span>Evidence emerged in the late 1990s of systematic slavery on </span>cacao plantations<span> in West Africa; see the </span>chocolate and slavery<span> article. </span> But now...do you want to know the TRUTH!!???
<span>People think they know everything about slavery in the United States, but they don’t. They think the majority of African slaves came to the American colonies, but they didn’t. They talk about 400 hundred years of slavery, but it wasn’t. They claim all Southerners owned slaves, but they didn’t. Some argue it was a long time ago, but it wasn’t. </span> <span>Four myths about slavery: </span>Myth One: The majority of African captives came to what became the United States. Truth:<span> Only 380,000 or 4-6% came to the United States. The majority of enslaved Africans went to Brazil, followed by the Caribbean. A significant number of enslaved Africans arrived in the American colonies by way of the Caribbean where they were “seasoned” and mentored into slave life. They spent months or years recovering from the harsh realities of the Middle Passage. Once they were forcibly accustomed to slave labor, many were then brought to plantations on American soil. </span>Myth Two:<span> Slavery lasted for 400 years. </span>Truth<span>: Slavery was not unique to the United States; it is a part of almost every nation’s history from Greek and Roman civilizations to contemporary forms of human trafficking. The American part of the story lasted fewer than 400 years. </span>Myth Three:<span> All Southerners owned slaves </span>Truth<span>: Roughly 25% of all southerners owned slaves. The fact that one quarter of the Southern population were slaveholders is still shocking to many. This truth brings historical insight to modern conversations about the Occupy Movement, its challenge to the inequality gap and its slogan “we are the 99%.” </span>Myth Four:<span> Slavery was a long time ago. </span>Truth<span>: African-Americans have been free in this country for less time than they were enslaved. Do the math: Blacks have been free for 149 years which means that most Americans are two to three generations removed from slavery. However, former slaveholding families have built their legacies on the institution and generated wealth that African-Americans have not been privy to because enslaved labor was forced; segregation maintained wealth disparities; and overt and covert discrimination limited African-American recovery efforts. </span> In Short, <span>Most historians use 1619 as a </span>starting<span> point, but it ACTUALLY as truth was way before 1400. (Either way, you should still go with the starting point of 1619 since no one almost knows that it was actually way before 1400...which is true) </span> <span>I Hope my answer has come to your Help (Took me time).

British aristocracy had a lot of money but in general they weren't allowed to do any work. They would have to devote to things like art or or philosophy or such things. They used the money to invest into businesses and participate in such a way that was allowed for them by the society. They helped develop numerous new innovations with their money.
From this passage you can tell that life for the Indians must have met moving from their homes to said districts which id much diffrent from their past lifestyles. Since they (the Indians) were used to open lands and lots of space forcing them into small lands close to other tribes could lead to several disputes. As for the Americans it is obvious that they want to expand their reach outward across the country into Indian territory which could lead to several disputes among Indians and Settlers.
