Title: Nearly All Cultures Practiced Slavery
Topic: Slavery
Discussed by Bill Federer
with American Minute (www.AmericanMinute.com)
Part 1 of 5
Nearly all ancient cultures made captives of war serve as slaves, such as in
Egypt, Babylon, Persia, Greece, China, India, Africa, and Rome. In fact, over
half of Rome's population were slaves.
One form of slavery was generational indebtedness, spread by Roman Emperor
Diocletian. The Roman economy was so bad that people unable to pay their
mortgages abandoned their properties, renounced their Roman citizenship, and
went off to live with the barbarians.
Diocletian stimulus plan made it so people could never be free from their debts
tying them and their children to the land in perpetuity, creating the feudal
system.

Title: Slavery in the New World
Topic: Slavery
Discussed by Bill Federer
with American Minute (www.AmericanMinute.com)
Part 3 of 5
Slavery in Cuba
began earlier and lasted longer than anywhere else in the Americas. When Spain
conquered the New World in the early 1500's, conquistadors deposed Indian
government leaders and ruled in their stead. As Indian populations had been
trained to obey government orders, they willingly obeyed their new leaders, even
though it meant dying of forced labor in silver mines, such as Potosi.
Then, those wanting slave labor replaced them with Africans purchased from
Muslim slave markets. A notorious trade triangle developed with Havana, Cuba, at
its center. Some North American Indians were even sold into slavery in the West
Indies.
In North America, Christian missionaries and movements, especially Quakers,
Moravians, and Methodists, were a voice of conscience against slavery. Even so,
many poor Europeans sold themselves as 'indentured servants', a temporary
slavery for seven years in exchange for transportation to America.

Title: African Slaves Brought to America
Topic: Slavery
Discussed by Bill Federer
with American Minute (www.AmericanMinute.com)
Part 4 of 5
The first African
slaves were brought to North America on a Dutch ship to Virginia in 1619. A
Portuguese ship from Sierra Leone sold 53 slaves to Spanish Planters on the
Cuban ship Amistad. On July 1, 1839, the Africans seized the ship and demanded
to be sailed back to Africa. Instead, the captain misdirected the ship to Long
Island, NY, where the slaves were arrested.
The Amistad case went to the Supreme Court, with 74-year-old former
President, John Quincy Adams, defending the Africans. Adams stated, "By the
blessing of God, I will argue the case before the Supreme Court," and wrote in
his journal, October 1840: "I implore the mercy of God to control my temper, to
enlighten my soul, and to give me utterance, that I may prove myself in every
respect equal to the task."
Francis Scott Key offered Adams legal advice. Adams shook hands with Africans
Cinque and Grabeau, saying: "God willing, we will make you free."
Wining the case, John Quincy Adams, known as "Old Man Eloquent," had argued:
"The moment you come to the Declaration of Independence, that every man has
a right to life and liberty, an inalienable right, this case is decided. I ask
nothing more in behalf of these unfortunate men than this Declaration."
