What is the relationship between the slave trade and racism?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Slavery led to racism in the Americas because the slaves began to be seen as nothing but slaves, their lack of experience in the real world rendered them very naive, and their culture was much different from the White's. That, combined with the ignorance of the slave owners which was compounded with things like Jim Crowe and the general atmosphere that the slaves were the inferior servants led to racism.

Why were slaves traded in the middle passage?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

The middle passage was a terrible experiance for the slaves as they were all chained up lying on wooden pannels which would often have more slaves above them, they we're fed disgusting nasty food and were abused physically and mentaly. They were often exercised and given fresh air once or twice a day and were made to dance etc. They were treated like this for many many weeks, even months. So thats why:)

Asked by Wiki User

Apartheid implied for nonwhites that they were the dominant citizens of South Africa. Apartheid made them feel as if they were better than the blacks.

What were the justifications of slavery prior to the eighteenth century?

User Avatar

Asked by Blahblah1025

The justifications of slavery during the eighteenth century were little to none until close to the end. Slavery was not a subject that was questioned whether it was ethical to keep the slave trade going. By 1750, still no one seriously discussed or questioned the existence of slavery. By 1888, the institution of slavery no longer existed in the transatlantic economy. Prior to the eighteenth century however, there were justifications to slavery. Chattel slavery did exist however prior to the eighteenth century. Chattel slavery is the ownership of one human being by another (existed in the West). Plato and Aristotle both provided arguments for slavery based on the assertion that persons in bondage were intended by nature to be slaves. Christian writers accommodated themselves similarly to the institution. They contended that the most harmful form of slavery was that of the enslavement of the soul to sin rather than the enslavement of physical body. They also argued that genuine freedom was recognized from the relationship one has with God and that if problems arise that relate to the injustices of inequality would be solved in the Hereafter. Christina Scholastic thinkers in the Middle Ages had portrayed slavery as a part of the natural and necessary hierarchy of the world and universe.

By sheer military might- waging one of the ugliest wars that history has ever known, and leaving scars until today. They were the first nation to create concentration camps, and interned the families of the Boers, while scorching the land and destroying the farms of the Boers, because of their desire to control the gold and diamonds and other mineral resources of the country.
