how did the white people affect slavery ?

Question

slavery in europe,America & what is a coffin ship?

Answer 1

coffin ship is called that because when they would put the slaves into the ships to bring them back to where ever 1/3 of them would die.
White people, did not start slavery, but the question of how they affected it is hard to answer. In America, well we only had 5% of the entire international slave population brought to us. Europe was more on the "modern edge" and slavery never really cought on there.
Really what i can tell you in the affect thing, is that slavery was demised by the industrial revolution. The whites began to think that it was "old" to have slaves, then they began to open their eyes to the cruelty and other things.

Answer 2

Their desire for cheap labor drove the slave trade and a coffin ship refers to a slave ship from Africa. The slaves were kept in poor conditions and forced to lay flat in small tight areas, by the time they arrived many were dead and looked as though they were laying in coffins, hence a coffin ship. Look this crap up online and do your own homework kid. Is it making you any smarter to get half/a$$ed info on here?
