Slave Trade
Many years ago the Slaves from Africa were used to work in America to work on the Plantations (Tabacco,Cotton and Sugar) The Slaves were used to make money for the Americans.They were Captured in Africa and taking to America on the ship.
After nearly three centuries of an active slave trade, several colonial powers outlawed the practice around the early 1800s; however, ownership of slaves was not abolished until many years later. Denmark abolished the importation of slaves in 1792. Great Britain followed in 1807 and the United States in 1808.

 

This slave auction advertised slaves for sale or temporary hire by their owners. Buyers often paid $2000 for a skilled, healthy slave. These auctions often separated family members, many of whom never saw each other again.
