Week 1 Case Study: Slavery

Chamberlain College of Nursing

, Slavery Case Study

During the 17th and 18th centuries, slavery was largely established in various countries.

Though slavery is not a part of history that many Americans are proud of, it did in fact allow us

to establish the country where millions of people call home. Overall, the implementation of

slavery in the United States allowed American colonies to grow and develop economically.

However, it also influenced the continuation of racism, creating social problems among citizens.

The practice of slavery between the Africans and Europeans held their differences. While

it was considered slavery in both places, their differences are quite significant. In Africa, a slave

could have the potential of becoming a free individual. It was common for an enslaved person

only being enslaved in order to pay off a debt or crime. These slaves were still removed from

their place in society, but at some point, it was possible for them to be set free. On the other

hand, European slavery was not as forgiving. The form of slavery used in Europe was called

Chattel slavery. The meaning of this was that the slaves were considered a form of property that

could be sold or traded. There was no possibility for freedom, unless they escaped. In addition to

the lack of freedom, the children and grandchildren of the slave were born into enslavement with

the same restrictions (“Slavery in Africa,” n.d.).

As of 1642, per PBS, servants must be imported having no indentures or covenants and if

they are over 20 years old, they serve 4 years, if they are between 12 and 20, they serve 5 years

and if they are under 12, they serve 7 years. At this time, slaves were also considered property

by a slave owner and they were enslaved for life, including if the owner passed away. However,

as of 1705, if a slave owner died the slaves could not be passed on as property (2004).
