Strayer, Chapter 15 (pp.449-458)

The trade of humankind took over two million slaves from Africa and sent them to North and South America.  Why was owning and trading slaves so important to people?  How come the farmers or workers just pay the Slaves so it was not so degrading.  African people became the main source of people to call slaves and take from their land and ship them to other places.  The slave trade made the Americas collapse in population and slowed down the growth in Africa, while the Europeans, Chinese's, and other regions grew.  Finally in the modern era, slave trade was decreasing rapidly and to many it would have come to a surprise that they did not need to practice slavery in order to change the world.  the world would have changed in some way or another for the best and taught people right from wrong later on.
