Why did the inhumane slave trade survive for more than 400 years?

The reason why black slaves** can last for more than 400 years is mainly because there was a great shortage of labor in Europe at that time, and those Europeans also took a fancy to the value of these black slaves and made a lot of profits from them. At that time, these Europeans saw the huge economic benefits that could be derived from the slave trade, so they began to carry out this activity in a frenzy. <>

As history continues to evolve, so does the world's connectivity. At that time, the gradual expansion of coastal routes made black slaves more common. And Europe is in the process of raw capital accumulation.

In this stage, Europe needs a very large number of laborers. But at that time, all the labor force of these European countries was used in production, and those colonists drove out the Indians when they invaded the Americas, so that there was not much labor in the Americas. <>

This loss of labor could not promote the gradual progress of the Americas, so these colonists set their sights on black slaves at that time. Because the black slaves were the cheapest labor in the entire market at that time, and at the same time, they were very strong and could help these colonists do a lot of things. In order to meet the needs of these colonists, they began to buy black slaves in large quantities.

This behavior led to the gradual expansion of the black slave market. <>

At that time, the black slaves who were bought and sold would be driven to work on the manor when they had owners. In fact, in this process, there were also many black slaves who wanted to escape, but because their thinking was not advanced, there was no scientific means of escape. The way these black slaves chose to fight was also relatively weak, and they were simply unable to resist the lord of the manor at that time.

In addition, once they are found to have escaped, these black slaves will be beaten to death in front of other black slaves after they are caught. This deterrent effect made the black slaves gradually lose the idea of wanting to resist. In fact, in the beginning of Spain and Portugal.

These two countries began to trade in black slaves, but later the United States and Great Britain also began to carry out these activities. Because the practice of black slavery** can allow these countries to obtain huge profits.

Slavery education made some black slaves lose their ability to be domesticated, and those who resisted were always a small part, and they were violently killed, and hino dared not resist. And the white people were accustomed to black slaves as slaves and took this matter for granted.

Because of the lack of labor in Europe, black furnaces were used to supplement the market. Black people have no human rights and live in a terrible environment.

Because the black slaves have brought wave after wave of dividends to those unscrupulous profiteers, and the blacks have not really resisted, their minds have been imprisoned for a long time, and the farmers who buy black slaves have always existed for a long time.

The pursuit of profit. Black slaves were low-cost laborers, who were dominated by life and death, and worked for the interests of slave owners; African tribes attacked each other and became rich by trading slaves; Capitalist primitive accumulation requires a large amount of labor.

Although it was inhumane, the black slaves could make the upper reapers obtain huge benefits, and in the capitalist countries at that time, the black slaves had no right to speak, so it was so.

Because there was a shortage of labor in Europe at that time, the gap could be filled in this way. It is also related to the development of the times at that time, which was the age of sailing.

It was because Europe was in dire need of a large number of laborers at that time, and the labor of blacks was cheap and very easy to use.

Because there were a lot of wars at that time, and the country needed a lot of labor, and these blacks were very cheap to use, and they were also very easy to use.

Black slaves** brought great disaster to Africa.

In the time of four hundred years of black slavery.

Africa has lost more than 100 million of its able-bodied people.

At the same time, it is also one of the important means of capitalist primitive capital accumulation.

In the current textbook "Modern History of the World".

only tells about the rise of black slaves and the evaluation of it.

There is not a word about how it ended.

So how was the black slave abolition? Why was it abolished?

From the second half of the 18th century to the second half of the 19th century.

Atlantic slaves** gradually went into decline.

At the end of the 18th century, the abolitionist movement in Europe flourished.

Britain passed a ban on slaves in 1807, and other countries also announced bans, but the desire to pursue explosive profits made slaves** actually not stop, and smuggling** became rampant.

From the first half of the 19th century, the United States became the main slave trader.

The West completed the primitive accumulation of capital and promoted the development of European capitalism, but the criminal slaves ** caused Africa (from the 16th century to the 19th century) to lose hundreds of millions of elite laborers, caused a large number of black deaths and long-term poverty and backwardness in Africa, caused the abnormal prosperity of the plantation economy in the south of the United States and racial discrimination in the history of the United States, and the slave plantation economy formed a sharp contradiction with the capitalist industrial and commercial economy of the north, and finally caused the Civil War.

There were several reasons for the abolition of black slavery, and here are some of the important ones:

1.Changes in Moral and Human Rights Concepts: In the late 18th and early 19th centuries, the rise of the Enlightenment and the popularization of human rights prompted opposition to slavery.

More and more people are beginning to realize that slavery and slavery constitute a serious violation of human dignity and freedom.

2.Economic and political motivations: Slavery played an important role in the economic systems of some countries and regions, but with the industrial revolution and the development of capitalism, new economic models and modes of production gradually emerged, making the slavery system no longer necessary.

At the same time, factors such as the abolitionist movement and the slave revolt also put economic and political pressure on the colonial countries.

3.Anti-slavery movements: In different countries and regions, a series of anti-slavery movements and organizations have emerged, including the abolitionist movement, the slave uprising, and the criticism and boycott of slavery, which have prompted reflection and change on slavery.

4.Changes in economic interests: With the rise of industrialization and capitalism, some countries began to turn to free labor markets, with a greater focus on hiring free workers.

At the same time, slavery also faced problems such as declining economic benefits and rising maintenance costs, which led some countries and regions to gradually abandon slavery.

Under the combined effect of these factors, the slavery system was gradually questioned and opposed, which eventually led to the abolition of black slavery and the gradual extinction of slavery. However, while the abolitionist movement and the abolition of slaves** were important historical advances, the problems of racism and inequality persisted in societies and required sustained efforts to address them. <>
