It was called "triangular comerce". It involved slavery, rhum and cotton.\n\nShips would buy cotton from the souther States before the civil war, trade part of it for rhum in the carabean and set sail to Europe, where they sold the rest. After, they would set sail to Africa to get slavs in exchange for some rhum and money and go back to Southern United Stated to trade it all for cotton and the cicle continued.

Slavery, as it pertained to the jews, was different from in most other parts of the world.  Jews, for instance were required to free whatever slaves they had every seven years.  In addition, they were supposed to treat their slaves with decency - shouldn't rape or kill or beat half to death.  As a result, slavery was never very profitable or common among the Israelites.  Also, being a slave would therefore imply something different.  Given time, you would be free.  Thus you should serve your master with dedication and loyalty until such time as you were freed.  Love thy neighbor, no matter what station you are in life.

I think all people should be aware of this history.  Brazil was especially bad about slavery.  Slaves were cheap and expendable labor, and thus no care was given to their treatment, health or comfort.  All native Americans (North and South America) made slaves of their enemies.  In many South American civilizations, such slaves were used as sacrifices to appease the gods (Incas, Aztecs, Mayans and Toltecs to name a few).  What about the Romans and Greeks?  They made slaves of anyone they could get their hands on (including Africans).  The same is true of China.  The same is still true in the Middle East. The fact is, that in the US Europe and Canada, we saw the error of our ways and fixed it (made it illegal).  In fact, in America, we fought a war to end it that cost well over 600,000 lives.  How much more dedicated to ending slavery can you get?  Mexico cannot say the same (nor can many South American countries).  Mexicans just want something to b1tch about.  They're just made because we don't want them coming in illegally and living off of our hard work.

First of all, no they didn't. They had slaves in their congregation, and told them to behave honorably as slaves, but they encoraged the slave holders in their congregation to release their slaves. Read Philemon.\n\nSecond, slavery in that day was something entirely different from slavery was in the American South. Back then, a person sold themselves into slavery rather than go bankrupt. You worked a certain number of years as a slave, and then you were set free. You could also sell your children, but they would usually be free before they were adults. Their children wouldn't be born slaves. In the American South, they were creating a race of slaves. That's looked down on. The only time that happened in ancient times was when one country conquered another, and then eventually the slaves were absorbed into regular society.

Achilles withdrew from the battle after he was dishonored by Agamemnon.  Agamemnon had taken a woman named Chryseis as his slave.   Her father Chryses, a priest of Apollo, begged Agamemnon to return her to him.  Agamemnon refused so Apollo sent a plague amongst the Greeks.  Agamemnon consented, but then commanded that Achilles' slave Briseis be brought to replace Chryseis.  Angry at the dishonor (and as he says later, because he loved Briseis), Achilles refused to fight or lead his Myrmidons alongside the other Greek forces.

They were the property of their husbands. They did all of the household manual labor. The poor ones died early. The rich ones held slaves and were pampered.

The story is that in the days of slavery many were whipped to force them to work or perform tasks. Thus the skin would be flayed from their backs. If you were a slave who did as he were told you wouldn't be whipped although your companion may be, hence the phrase.

Sophocles, Euripides and Aeschylus ..if you want to read something fun,,read LYSISTRATA by Sophocles... Sparta and Athens were always fighting against each other, so the men were always away from home fighting. The women in these 2 areas got together and decided the way to stop them from fighting and come back home was to with hold sex.....pretty cool idea..read the book(it is small) to see if it worked or not
