Slavery was created for rich people to have free manual labor for their farms. It was used distinctively more in the South, because of the cash crops. Slavery separated families, and forced black people to be sold and traded. Eventually, people created different things to help try to reduce and help others escape slavery. These people are called Abolitionists. People created books, including the most popular and impactful, called Uncle Tom’s Cabin. This book helped influence more white people to realize how terrible slavery was, and it also helped them to notice that they were real people as well. The Underground Railroad was created as well to help black people escape the evil institution of slavery. Eventually, the residing president, Abraham Lincoln, created the Emancipation Proclamation. This proclamation freed all slaves from slavery. Unfortunately, this didn’t help the Texans. The Texas slave owners kept them under the impression that slavery still existed. That’s why Juneteenth is a thing, which celebrates Texas’ independence from slavery.
