Black Slaves in America (week9)

In America, Europeans started to bring black slaves for their houses. Between 1550 and 1792 entered like 123 000 black persons to the continent. They were all African descendants. They had to work in mines constructing or even fishing. Their owners had to provide them with cloth and alimentation but sometimes they just provide them with seeds which they had to cultivate on their free time and sell some of it to buy cloth. Women were sometimes used as hores for the owner’s economic situation. Many of these slaves develop many kind of disease, like lepra or physical disease like blinded, deft, without hand, without a leg etc. most of the seek slaves died.

I think that if the owners couldn’t maintain the slaves and kill them why would they bring them. I think the owners should be allowed to have 5 or less slaves in their houses not 30 or 50, who needs that? As always an still the racism is the is a big source of death or even the biggest.

When there was a murder, black people were found guilty for it and were killed. Even most of the black people were treated like animals there were some families that treated their slaves as workers as treated today. After the independence that was the main cause of civil wars in La Nueva Granada.
