Horrors of slavery - shameful pages in the history of mankind.:(

People deprived of their liberty, primarily prisoners of war, became slaves. This phenomenon has been for many thousands of years, unfortunately, it still occurs today, although it is illegal and not on such a massive scale. Let us recall the last, terrible pages of this phenomenon. Impressive not to look!

Another warning - in the post there are cruel shots !!!!

On December 27, 1512, the Spanish government prohibited the use of American Indians as slaves in the colonies, but at the same time allowed slaves from Africa to enter the New World.

The documents show that not less than 600 slaves were loaded on a ship with a displacement of 120 tons.

In total, about 13 million African slaves were imported into the British North America and later in the United States. On average, of the 3-5 captured slaves, only one was delivered to the plantation, the rest were lost during the seizure and transportation. According to researchers, as a result of the slave trade, Africa lost up to 80 million lives.

Slaves had no rights and freedoms and were considered property of the owner, with whom the owner can do anything, without any prosecution by the law

The Negroes were so cheap that it was more profitable for planters to torment a slave in an unbearable job in a short time than to exploit him longer, but more circumspectly. The average life span of a slave on plantations in some areas of the South did not exceed six to seven years.
Slaves were considered as movable property, called SUBHUMAN - subhuman, unreasonable, anthropoid

The punishments were very cruel. The ears were cut off to the runaway and captured slave, his hands and feet were cut off for his children for his unworked work. The slave-owner could, if desired, kill his slave, though the able-bodied slaves were rarely killed

The invention of cotton ginning machine (gin), which accelerated the cotton cleaning, caused the rise of cotton growing and significantly increased the demand for slaves, and the beginning of the industrial revolution in Europe, and then in the US, increased the demand for cotton and slaves.

The price of a slave from 300 dollars in 1795 increased to $ 900 in 1849 and to 1500-2000 dollars on the eve of the civil war. The intensification of slave labor and the exploitation of slaves intensified drastically.

Officer with "smuggling", 1862. The freed slaves at this time were treated as smuggling or seized property.

By the way, the historical fact - African slaves owned not only white, but indigenous Indians, as well as free blacks.

For example, the number of slaves that belonged to the Cherokee Indians at the turn of the nineteenth century was 600 people and about 1500 while moving to the West in 1838-1839. Also, if a white man came to America on Indian lands, he could marry a representative of the Cherokee tribe, and, having started commerce or farming, received slaves in his submission.

Also as of the 1830th year, 3,740 black people owned 12775 black slaves.

Most of the slaves brought to America from Africa were acquired from black slave owners.

In Africa, there were whole "plants" for the cultivation of slaves, their capture and transfer to America.

As soon as the children got up on their feet they were poisoned to work on the plantation.

Numerous medical experiments, for example, the effect of chloroform on humans, the development of tumors, electric shock, neurosurgery, amputation and so on

Many medical publications published before the Civil War were dazzled with similar experiments conducted with the participation of slaves. For example, in the summer of 1989, builders found 10,000 bones from a basement belonging to the Georgia College of Medicine in August, most of the remains were clearly tortured and died from horrific experiments that were conducted without anesthesia.

For the slaveholders various brochures were published.

For example, on the subject of breeding American slaves - advice on the reproduction of slaves in order to increase the welfare of slaveholders with the use of forced sex between slaves, sexual relations with the master and slaves and to obtain the greatest possible number of children. Constantly giving birth to slaves in every possible way encouraged. The purpose of this deduction is the production of new slaves and in order to avoid unnecessary spending on the purchase of new slaves.

Even after the abolition of slavery in the United States until the 1970s, racial segregation persisted, while in Europe blacks and Aborigines were shown in zoos as animals

Until the 60s of the last century, the aborigines of Australia were considered animals.

Game - get into the Negro (the equivalent of a piñata-pot / donkey with sweets that break with a stick), very common amusement among American kids

The game was most often held at birthday parties. The game was in the course of quite a barbaric technique to extend it. Best for the game were considered black baby girls, who were naturally weak and whiny. Female slaves were forced to breastfeed these children, so that later in the "game" by blows of children's sticks one could cause vomiting and crying. If the babies fainted, the adults pinched them by tearing their skin, unconscious.

In New Orleans and many other southern states, weak and whiny babies were killed immediately. They could simply be fed to crocodiles or used as bait in crocodile hunting.

Today, slavery is prohibited in all countries of the world, but there is an illegal market for human trafficking

Now in slavery is about 30 million people, and this is more than ever in history. According to the UN, 700,000 people are slaves each year. The majority of victims of this practice are women and children. Approximately 75-80% of victims of the slave trade are used in the sex industry. According to a 2009 article in the Washington Times, the Taliban buy children from the age of seven to use as suicide bombers.:(
