Strayer, Chapter 15 pp. 449-458

In the beginning of the chapter we see the start of the slave trade that was through the Atlantic Ocean that dealt with the Europeans and Native Americans. The only benefits of this was the introduction were religious ideas, musical and artist traditions. This was one of the biggest expansion of human beings.  Having such a large amount of black slaves coming into the Americans help with the establishment of sugar, tobacco and cotton plantations. This was when a lot of racism was established between "blacks" (which I believe is not the proper name, just like white is not the proper name) begin to come into affect. With the difference of color, bone structure and stability of their body there were many things being said about black slaves. This has always been a hard topic for me. Being "black" we are always looked at differently because out of all different races we are the darkest. They way blacks were treated at this time always makes me upset. They were bleeding their own sweat to do things for others just to be able to bring their whole family to America. Not being treated fairly and still have no say so in what they can and what they can not do. Not only were they hurt while working for their slave owners but also the slave boats that brought them to their plantations. At the end of my view point  of slavery I have never liked it and never will.
