SLAVERY GOES BACK HUNDREDS
AND THOUSANDS OF YEARS. SLAVERY
IS MENTIONED IN THE BIBLE.
SLAVERY DID NOT START
IN AMERICA BUT IT ENDED HERE. SLAVERY WAS ONCE UBIQUITOUS IN
OUR WORLD. (THAT MEANS IT WAS EVERYWHERE.) AFRICA HAD SLAVES.
CHINA HAD SLAVES. EUROPE HAD SLAVES. SOUTH AMERICA HAD SLAVES. EVEN AMERICAN INDIANS HAD SLAVES. AND, YES, SLAVERY WAS
PART OF A NEWBORN UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. EVEN THEN, IN PLACES LIKE PENNSYLVANIA AND CONNECTICUT, THEY WERE ALREADY WORKING TO BAN SLAVERY, TO BAN IT FROM OUR VERY BEGINNINGS.”
