The Spanish, Portuguese, and Dutch firmly instituted slavery in the Americas in the 17th century. Slavery refers to the practice of holding a person in bondage for labor. Nevertheless, slavery was not new to Native Americans; it was a common practice with roots in the world's earliest civilizations. Likewise, slavery has evolved and taken various forms throughout history. For example, there were societies in which slaves worked as servants in the households of wealthy families. In others, slaves worked in mines and fields. People were enslaved when they were captured in battle or sold to pay debts. A number of societies treated slaves with respect; in fact, they were even allowed to marry and own property. The children of slaves were allowed to travel freely and were entitled to all the rights enjoyed by other citizens. Nevertheless, slavery began to change with the advent of sugar plantations.Initiation of slavery in AmericaAs early as 1100, Europeans employed the services of slaves to cultivate sugar in the eastern parts of the Mediterranean. During the 1400s and 1500s, the Portuguese and Spanish introduced sugar cultivation to the Easter Islands... middle of paper ...... in the fields while their women worked inside. Some slave owners were only interested in male slaves, while others purchased child slaves. Conclusion: In the early days of slavery, both the South and the North embraced slavery, but differences in resource endowments, needs, and interests lead to different views of slavery. The North developed a modern cash economy that required little input from slaves, which diminished the economic importance of slavery. Eventually, slavery was abolished. On the other hand, southern states reaped enormous profits from agriculture (a labor-intensive industry) and thus slavery was essential to economic well-being. Slavery was not banned in the southern states until after the Civil War, after the defeat of the Confederates (southern states), who wanted to secede from the federal republic, through union (northern states).).
