Slavery

In the late 1800's, slavery played a big role in North America's economics. One of North America's well known economic was cotton. Slaves worked as directed by their masters. They worked in the cotton fields in order to make profits for the masters. On the other hand, the master did not have to pay them. Most white people in the South buy slaves because of their wish to live in a comfortable lives. Slaves did most of their master's tasks without receiving any benefits, for the most part. However, the saddest part was that, most of the slaves were treated badly by their master. Children of slaves, when born, would become slaves. They did not have the privilege to be under their parents' shoulders.
