Why was slavery seen as a good idea by some people in 1700 and 1800?
It was because the people of Africa were strong and beautiful. The traders saw them and thought they would be better slaves and easy labor to get. Some also believed that they were giving the black slaves a better life in a colonized world and giving them religion and a chance and "life". It is also said that some of the slave owners quoted, "Once a black man, always a black man. You can never lose a black slave."
Did Sojourner Truth attend a college?
No, she did not. In fairness, Sojourner Truth (real name Isabella Baumfree) was alive in the early to mid-1800s, a time when few woman, black or white, attended college. In fact, only the wealthiest, elite white Christian men had the opportunity for higher education. Sojourner Truth would have been taught privately, or she would have apprenticed and learned by doing, which is how most people of that era were educated.
How did people explain that it was all right to own other people and treat slaves badly?
Most people who owned slaves rationalized it as the way things were done. Slaves were property and for generations, the people who owned them raised their children with the thought that other people could be owned.Many of the slave owners in the American South were Christian and used the bible to rationalize their ownership of slaves. In Genesis 9:25-27 Noah curses one of his sons saying, "Cursed be Canaan! The lowest of slaves will he be to his brothers." Many people (wrongly) belied that Canaan was exiled to the African continent, while the rest of the world descended from his brothers. There are many passages in both the Old and New Testament that outline the proper treatment of slaves; all of which condone the ownership of people as property and the physical punishment of a slave.A Different PerspectiveSlavery has always been part of the human experience. It has occurred for thousands of years. Strong populations attacked weaker groups in order to capture slaves to do their work. They didn't need to rationalize the practice because it was simply the way things were. They needed slave labor in order to carry out their empire building and domestic life and set about obtaining it. Slavery is an inherent part of biblical life and had already been part of the human experience for thousands of years. Slavery is still actively practiced in many parts of the world.Slavery, as mentioned in the bible, was part of the New World from its earliest beginnings. The early settlers didn't feel any need to justify slavery and large numbers of slaves were needed as transplanted English aristocrats began to develop large plantations in the South. They could not have established their holdings with paid labor because they couldn't afford it. Slavery was also common in the Northern Colonies during the 1700s and early 1800s but not on the grand scale as in the South.
How did the slaves escape from their plantations?
They were not generally locked up or restrained in any way. Escaping from the plantation was literally as simple as walking off into the woods. Escaping TO somewhere, on the other hand, was the real trick of the matter. Hunting down escaped slaves was lucrative and there were a lot of people doing it full time. Also, escapees had to travel in the dark and off the roads, so escaping could very well mean getting lost or seriously injured, and then starving to death. As time moved forward through the 1800s, the underground railroad developed and is well known to have moved a lot of slaves into the North.
