Surname 1 Student’s name Professor’s name Course Code Date War against Slave Trade Slave trade began in the mid- 17th century and it mostly involved trading ships which used to set sail from Europe with merchandise to the west coast of Africa. These ships took as long as they wanted on the African coasts as they were brought young men and women who were fit for work and could survive the journey to various destinations. America and the Caribbean were the most known for the need for slaves and the European traders were keen to deliver in exchange for goods like sugar, alcohol and tobacco. The presence of slaves though in America was not all for their advantage because later increased in numbers to an extent of almost dominating. Slave trade in the booming economy of America as a resource that greatly influenced development at low or no cost saw the country access free and cheap labor (Mcinnis). However, slave trade caused more harm than good to the African- Americans who had become enslaved because it lowered their dignity as human beings. They became mistreated and people took advantage of them due to their defenselessness. Slave trade had become a threat to America which was a developing country with an objective of growing economically. Slave trade had invaded the lives of the Native Americans who were blind to see what was at stake for their nation in the future. The tremendous growing numbers of slave traders gave them the courage to form movements to fight for their rights and advocate for the abolishment of slave trade. Further, other political activists emerged to fight for equality and the eradication of slave trade which was far and beyond America. In as much as the slaves offering cheap and free labor they knew that one day they would rise and give their employers a surprise of their lives. According to (Gates Jr.), the slaves that got to America were many and could be rated to 388,000 which is a small number compared to the masses that got moved from the coast of Africa. With time, these numbers were expected to rise as soon as the slaves started intermarrying and having children and this could have an impact on the native’s population. Surname 2 Abolition of slave trade was the initial idea of the British government in the years 18221826 and it was due to pressures that could not get handled. The abolishment of slave trade was bound to take place sooner or later and it could be mostly as a result of the predicted danger and harm that the trade could cause America. Being a developing country, it could in future not understand the essence of paying people wages and they could never value employment and labor because they got used to having it for free. Therefore, this would affect their development because they would become reluctant to hire labor hence they would lag behind. For this reason, some felt the need to do away with slaves and pay people wages for work done regardless of how minimal. The emerging of humanitarian groups like churches and researchers who went against the slave trade pressurized the participating countries to reconsider their stand in the trade. They judged slave trade on ethical grounds where people were being sold like any other items in the market. With the rise of industrialization, the states that used slaves for cheap labor felt they needed professional workers and they wanted the slaves to go back home to produce raw materials for their industries. There was a French revolution as well that emerged and it was advocating for freedom, equality and fraternity of all human beings therefore none was supposed to be superior to the other. Political involvement was inevitable in the issue regarding slave trade considering that the effect could become felt all over and the government could not risk getting criticized by other states or the citizens. With this determination, the governments of states that dealt with slave trade took stiff measures towards dealers of slaves and those who had links with that kind of business. Laws were as well enforced that would deal with those who got caught on the wrong side of those laws. States that were for this idea worked closely together which made it easy to end the practice. Presidents like Thomas Jefferson realized the threat that was facing the nation and above all the kind of treatment that the slaves were subjected to at work. He felt that these people had individual rights to do what they wanted with their lives and they therefore needed the freedom to choose if they wanted to work and where they were comfortable working. Either way, he was bothered by the presence of blacks in his country and his idea was to have them taken back to their country (Finkelman). Initially, the congress did not have the power to end slave trade but it could regulate it and later, it prevented the use of the American ports for the use of bringing in slaves. Therefore, merchants of slaves became discouraged and could not risk continuing with the business. There was a law as well that prevented ships from the United Surname 3 States ports from have dealings in overseas countries. Penalties became introduced which got charged to those who got caught doing the business. Politics therefore played a vital role in eradicating slave trade which could otherwise have continued without anyone noticing. As time went by, slave trade became widespread and so did the need to form activist groups to curb the menace. Not everyone appreciated the use of slaves in the farms and other working areas because they felt they had a responsibility to stop it from spreading any further. Some states though felt that the slaves were useful and were against the abolition of slave trade. Slave trade had adverse effect on the Africans considering that they got taken from the homes and countries against their will which was inhuman. Morals condemned such actions and on these grounds people started joining efforts and formed movements that would advocate for rights of the slaves. Quakers were among the first people to go against slave trade and they are the one who created most of the activists groups in the United States (Tejvan). Some individual activists who started anti-slavery movements include (Tejvan): - Sojourner Truth who was an African- American abolitionist and she was a former slave and therefore had an experience of what she was advocating for in her speeches - William Lloyd Garrisson who was a renowned campaigner against slavery and he called for immediate liberation of slaves and in a few instances, he had been sent to jail because of his stand - Abraham Lincoln who was the American president during that period and he declared the freedom of all slaves and he outlawed slavery Even though Thomas Jefferson hated the slaves for their being an invasion in America and for their origin, he had a plan to bring an end slave trade which had become a burning issue. One of the approaches he was going to use was steady and continuous abolishment of the trade in separate locations to make sure that no one went back to the trade. The reason for this was because each location was at their level and the difference therefore had to become handled in stages. The slave trade in America had become widespread and it required a lot of determination, effort and consistency to make sure that it became eradicated from the root. According to (Tejvan), Thomas Jefferson owned slaves in his home for his use and he did not want to end slavery at once and therefore did it in stages to buy him time as well for finding Surname 4 other sources of labor. In the long though, he managed to make slavery declared a crime and a law that became adhered to barring the trade of slaves was put in place. The fact that the slaves had a different skin color made them to become discriminated by the natives and racism therefore did not start the other day considering that it still has roots across the world. For this particular reason, it was not going to be easy to abolish slavery because there was a notion that black people were not worthy of any better treatment and they got what the deserved. Thomas Jefferson though was determined to campaign against oppression of the African-Americans who had become subjected to slavery based on their skin color. According to (Socialworker), racism has always been there as people criticize and treat differently those who differ from them in color and origin. Racism is a specific practice of oppression which the slaves experienced and the fact that it is not the nature of human beings means that people can alter their perspective of others (Socialworker). In the same way, the Native Americans could have spared the slaves and treated them like fellow human beings by overlooking their skin color and by so doing, eradicating slavery would have been an easy task. Within the effort to end slavery of the African- Americans, Thomas Jefferson laid out rules that would give them better treatment than what they were used to when they were slaves. Even though the treatment would not measure up to that of the natives, it was far much better than the oppression they experienced upon arrival in foreign land. Further, they would no longer become perceived as slaves and humanity was at work at that point which worked in their favor. The slaves were under the protection of the rules that became established by Thomas Jefferson and it would be therefore correct to state that he had a heart for the African- Americans regardless of what his reason was for that. According to (Dierksheide), Thomas Jefferson had a belief that slavery would affect the progress of the developing America as a nation and for that reason he was aggressive in fighting against slavery. He was willing to see to it that the liberated slaves got better lives and even if they continued working, they got paid for their services. Either way, he could have wished that these people were taken back to their countries so as to reduce the rising population which was worrying. This man fought for the freedom of the slaves till his death and his passion and determination was clear which could be worth taking over by those who came after him. Surname 5 The abolition of slave trade took time and it was not possible to eliminate it within a short time because of various challenges that became experienced. Some of the reasons why ending slave trade long include; Political influences Politics influenced the process of abolishing slave trade because people in political positions had different opinions regarding this issue. When politics became incorporated in that specific issue that required urgent response, it became delayed because there was no similar ground. The existence of different political backgrounds and interests meant that it would take time to consolidate all the member’s opinion therefore delaying the process. The fact that each state in country has their priorities means that there is a possibility that there are those who did not find the abolishment of slave important. Therefore, they did not give the idea much thought which made it to take long to become implemented. Opposition by politicians Some of the politicians felt that the slaves should be retained because they were playing a vital role in the building of the cities and increasing their economy. The fact that the slaves offered free labor meant that the government did not incur any expenses in the development of their infrastructures. Further, these slaves were many and therefore chores became undertaken within a short time. Additionally, there are those politicians who wanted others to look bad in government or in the eyes of the public. By opposing the idea of abolishing slave trade, it means that they had no interest in the welfare of the African-Americans who were being mistreated. Being forced to do chores that one is not comfortable with is against human morals and people who do not care about others feelings are inhuman. Politicians have an influence on the activities that get run in the government and when they do not agree, it takes time to make reforms on certain issues. Development levels of different states During the days of slave trade, states had different levels of development and for this reason some felt the need to make use of the slaves continuously. The developed states did not agree with the use of slaves because they did not have odd jobs to offer them. Further, these developed states knew the value of paying wages and employment and they as well employed Surname 6 professionals who did reasonable jobs. They did not find a place where they could offer jobs to these slaves because they had upgraded to the level of industrialization and it requires specialized skills. The states that were yet to develop would not let the slaves go easily because they needed them to catch up with their fellow states at no expense. With these kind of disputes between states, it became hard to eliminate slave trade because of the disagreements considering that they had to meet at some point. Those states that were not developed felt like the developed ones advocated for abolishment of slave trade to make sure that the developing ones did not catch up with them soon. Slave trade played a vital role in the growth of the economy of America and it greatly impacted its development at low or no cost because the country could have access to free and cheap labor. Either way, slave trade became harmful to the African- Americans who had become enslaved because it lowered their dignity as human beings. They became mistreated and people took advantage of them due to their defenselessness. The fact that these slaves were far from home and were in foreign land made them to obey all the orders that were given to them without questioning. The Native Americans should have at least considered and appreciated the role the slaves played in their country and treat them well. The presence of slaves in America later became a threat because they had come in large numbers therefore increasing the population. Once the slaves began intermarrying and bearing children, it like they belonged there and were no longer slaves. With this kind of population growth, the slaves gathered courage to form activist groups through which they would advocate for their rights and fight for equality. This meant that sooner or later the Americans were going to lose ownership of the slaves once they became liberated. The end of slave trade was important because it gave America back its glory which was almost lost because of the inhuman actions of mistreating people by having them as slaves. Being associated with the practice of slave trade could have tainted the image of the United States and therefore it was important to do away with it entirely. Further, the slaves got back their freedom which they had lost for long in foreign land and they became protected by the laws that became established. Additionally, the United States realized the value of labor that gets offered and were therefore ready to hire and pay for it rather than get it for free as they were used. Surname 7 The end of slave trade was advantageous because it paved way for professional employment and industrialization was taken seriously by the developing countries. On the other hand, the issue of racism became addressed in that the slaves were being treated based on their skin color. Racism became a public issue which had been hidden and no one had paid attention to its existence. This was to the advantage of the African-American who felt out of place because of the kind of treatment they got from the natives. With the end of slave trade, the slaves got the liberty to seek jobs with wages and jobs of their choice that were not forced. Works Cited Dierksheide, Christa. Thomas Jefferson and Slavery. 2008.

Background and process against the slave trade
Slave trade threatened America’s rise as a nation but despite its obvious economic benefits it was slowly
getting into the conscience of many Americans who did not share its ideals as a foundation for the future
of their country. The ensuing backlash saw the emergence of various political activists groups to lead the
fight against the evils of the practice as they called for equality of all races and the abolishment of the evil
trade not only in America but also globally.
A. Factors leading to abolishment of slave trade
The clamor for abolishing the trade was driven by the unforeseen dangers and harm it could bring to
the country as it made it hard to understand the economic dynamics of factors such wages, labor and
employment, important factors in a developing nation due to the distorted environment.
1. Effects of political power intervention on slave trade
The American Presidents who ruled at that time such as Thomas Jefferson saw the trade as a
threat to the survival of the nation as well as a violation of the rights of a people who
rightfully had a right to personal liberties like other Americans.
2. Effects of social influence on slave trade
With the changing times, the trade continued to spread and as activism against the vice rose,
it was joined by many others across the world. This was however against the views of
economies that viewed the trade as beneficial despite the evils that were associated with it
thus its opposition by most nations.

B. Advocacy to the abolition of the slave trade
President Thomas Jefferson set on laying plans of ending the trade in America and one way he
did it was by gradually and constantly outlawing it in specific regions. This was informed by the
believe that such a slow eradication of the slavery acts in different states could see a total
eradication by the end of his term in office.
1. War on racism
Given the fact that slave trade was based on the practice of racism in America, be eradicated
by if the issue of racism was dealt with decisively first in order to bring the trade to its knees.
Jefferson therefore took it upon himself to start by campaigning against the oppression of
African-Americans based on their skin color.
2. Rules and regulations

Jefferson therefore instituted decisive measures that saw African-Americans being given
better treatment as opposed to the way it was there before. This helped although it was not
perfect but it lessened the stigmatization of African-Americans who were viewed as second
class citizens if nothing worse.
