ON THE SLAVERY IN THE UNITED STATES
One of the important issues in the history of the United states is SLAVERY, that even resulted to the American Civil War(1861_1865).It has a long and considereable history in the America till it can be said that even after the Civil War it remained still one of the crucial issues.
The speed of the spreading slavery through the colonies was so fast that it can be said that just during about a century all of the colonies became slaveholders and their economic was based on it.
First the European indentured servents were the labor force in the agricultural colonies.But there was a problem there. After their time was over, they became free. So the colonists needed to a kind of labor forcewith little wage and everlasting period of time to serve on the farms.
Labor system became more important on southern agricultural regions.On other parts it was mostly for serving at homes or something like this.So it was not vital as the fundumental base of economy.
The slave population of the United States increased after that the law put an end to slaveryand it was mostly because of natural increase.
Different locations and size to crops grown and methods of slaveholding made different anteballums.Living on larg cotton plantations in south withlarg numbers of slaves needed more watchful eyes of overseers than northern parts where the masters themseleves supervised their servents.
Slaves were both human property for their masters and individuals with their own lives.Slavery in south was not just the reltionship between masters and the slaves but it made a new way of life that represented the new civilization.
Although, masters tried to have a complete control over the slaves they were not successful. Slaves lived as they could with their own traditional values, customs and family relationships.They were slaves but they tried to resist against their masters.So they were not just controlleable objects, and this resistance shaped their in dividual and social behavior.
Slavery shaped a different society in south in which the life of the whites was something different from the other Americans in other parts of the country, because their society was a slave one and based on slavery. Southern economy was based on slavery so that it's growth rate between 1840 and 1860 was even more than of the North. This difference was so huge that ended to the Civil War between South and the North.
The Northerner believed that western territories should be setteled just by the fre whites, while the Southerners didn't accept any expantions on the slavery issue.
Abraham Lincoln with Northern idea was elected in 1860, when the controvertial issue on the slavery had increased. So that some states in the south were separated and foremed the Confederate State of America.Civil War between slavery south and free north led to the end of slavery. Here, the important matter was not slaves but the UNION.
Slavery was over but the problems for the slaves remained in other ways. Civil War was necessary for the United States, otherwise it can be named "separated states" .
