What is slavery? Slavery has been imposed on people since mankind’s earliest history. When a clan defeated another clan, the prisoners could be killed or become *bound to their captors. They would work for them and were a *commodity to be sold. Slavery didn’t necessarily mean brutality. Some slaves would eventually be freed. But slavery in the Americas was a different story. The early European colonials in America (Portuguese, Spanish, Dutch, French and British) of the 16th century saw how profitable it was to colonise the New World with cheap *labour. The native Indians were not strong and were decimated by the European diseases. This was not the case for the Africans who had immunity from earlier contacts with Europeans. The lucrative slave trade started between Africa, Europe and America. The first Africans in the American colonies landed in Virginia one year before the Pilgrims landed in New Plymouth. The Negroes were soon indispensable for southern agriculture like cotton, tobacco and rice. But although they worked side by side with whites the colonial laws quickly came to exclude them. Inter-racial marriages were forbidden, the courts treated a black criminal more harshly, it was forbidden to educate blacks, African religious practices were *outlawed as well as African languages and dances. Their conversion to Christianity went without saying. White immigrants viewed blacks as different. A group of slaves or of poor who were *untrustworthy, sexu- ally overactive and overgrown children who could be treated harshly and were to be distinguished by their black colour. Photo du film “Amistad” (1997) © AKG-images – TM & Dreamwork/Cooper, Andrew This film by Steven Spielberg (1998) was based on a novel by Alex D. Pate (1997). It relates an historical event which took place in 1839. About 50 Africans had been captured in Africa and taken abord the Spanish slave ship “Amistad“. © Cned - Académie en ligne Séquence 3-AN01 8 They managed to seize the ship and killed two crewmen. However, the Amistad was seized by a U.S ship and the Africans were put on *trial. They were eventually freed as it was argued that everyman can escape from illegal* bondage. Those who had not died were returned to their homeland in Sierra Leone. The film had a great impact as it showed the life and death on board a slave ship. The trial was also the occasion to depict how the US were divided between the supporters of slavery and the abolitionists.
