Slavery

Slavery
Slavery started in 1619 and the slaves were used for work and many other things. Slavery ended in 1863 but it still happens till this day but its called "human trafficking"
Slavery back then
Slaves were stolen for their counties and brought over to the US and other places. But slavery was used everywhere in the US but was soon banned in the north because they thought it was wrong and that the constitution said that all men are equal. But the south didn't care about the north all they cared about was the slaves working by picking cotton then having the cotton sold to the north. But later after the years of slavery it was soon made illegal everywhere in the US.
Slavery now
Slaves are still stolen from countries but most Africa and India or are slaves already in those areas. But there is still some of them slavery in the US but they aren't used for work. They are used for many things like work in some small industries. So its still a thing but there is less then there was back in the 1600s to the 1800s.
