Indeed, there were. Infact I'm reading a book about that! Page 33 of book. Quotes "But Harriet tells us we can't stay here for long as bounty hunters are everywhere, so we must go on". "We must leave as bounty hunters are everywhere, taking every chance they get to take us back to our masters and earn easy money". Anyway you get the point thanks, Jason Howden. :D

Why was there need for slaves?

There wasn't.My versionSince the first city state the prosperity of the rich has depended on cheap and dependable labour. In the early days of the USA for example, the use of slaves lowered the cost of farming to the point that the landholders could make a profit.People who did not own slaves could not financially compete and thus could not become more wealthy.So the need was driven by the financial need to make a profit.UNTIL the whole economy had to stop the use of slaves at once, the fact that it was legal and your business would not be viable made the "NEED". Once everyone can not own slaves then the NEED goes away.


Why did slaves wear chains?

1 so they couldnt escape 2 Some slaves in the USA wore neclases of iron which they couldnt take of. The name and location of their owner was written in it. So when the slave would escape, people would recognize him as a slave and bring him back to his owner.


How did the institution of slavery affect slaves and free blacks in different sections of US?

Prior to the institution of slavery, there was no such thing as "blacks" free or otherwise. When slaves were first shipped here from Africa, this land was not yet the United States of America. So, there was no effect. The Emancipation Proclamation signed by Abraham Lincoln instituted freedom for slaves and affected different sections of the USA, primarily the South and the North. The South being pro-slavery/anti-emancipation and the North being anti-slavery/pro-emancipation.


In Amistad why is it ironic that it is a British ship that destroys the slave fortress at Lomboko?

It is not ironic it is historical fact. The Slave fortress was destroyed by a Royal Navy expedition in 1849. The British had outlawed the transportation of slaves across the Atlantic in 1807 and used their Naval superiority to enforce their law on other nations much to the chagrin of Spain, Portugal & the southern states of the USA and the Caribbean colonies. British abolitionists created Freetown, which was to become the Sierra Leone capital, in 1792 as a British colony which it used it as a place to resettle liberated slaves with some of the first new citizens being African Americans that the British liberated during the American War of Independence as well as Afro-Caribbeans who had escaped from the British Colonies where slavery was legal to Britain where slavery had long been illegal. However after 1807 the majority of liberated slaves were from intercepted slave ships. The slave fortress was set up by Spanish slavers in a region claimed by Britain but outside the effective British Sphere of influence and when the British eventually found it they released the slaves and levelled the fortress.
