I'm hispanic and I want to know why American Slavery is the biggest example of slavery?

Question

I'm curious because other examples such as sexual slavery, sweatshops and human experimentation aren't using when people think of slavery.

Answer 1

Good point....Slavery is still very much alive and well!!!!

Answer 2

You have to be kidding or a child playing with your parents computer. If you knew anything about America you would know how many died in this country to make sure slavery was not allowed. If you are now standing in line for food stamps or putting on your best Walmart dress promoting Hispanic pride ask yourself if you could do all this in Mexico. If you want to know about slavery go back home, there's plenty of it there.

Answer 3

The things you mention are underground, illegal and relatively small time compared to the slavery of early 19th century USA. In the south at least full ownership of human beings was condoned and a full part of the social fabric.

Answer 4

The American Slavery was sanctioned, supported and protected by the government. The others you talk about are considered criminal activity.

Answer 5

Very good question, because way before the Am slavery, different tribes around the world would conquer their neighboring tribes & take them as slaves. Romans, Greeks, Africans, Am Indians.......And, as you said, it's still going on & people turn a blind eye.

Answer 6
