What is Slavery
What is Slavery?
A slave is someone who is owned by another person.
A slave has:
No choice No freedom No money
A slave has to do what is asked of him by his master, usually this is work of some kind. Slaves are punished for not following their master's orders, working too slowly, or attempting to runaway
When we think of slavery today we think of the black Africans who were captured, sold into slavery and taken to the Americas to work on the plantations there.

Slavery has a very long history.
Slaves were used by the ancient Egyptians to build the pyramids and they were also used by the Romans and by the Ancient Britons.

Sadly, slavery is not a thing of the past.
In 1999, the International Labour Conference condemned the government of Myanmar ((Burma) for their " ..widespread use of forced labor.." And throughout our modern world, women and young girls are forced into prostitution, while both children and adults work in near slavery conditions in sweat shops producing goods for the western world.
