(3-6 lines) d) write 2-3 sentences feedback on each discussion on below -“Domestic African slavery is far different from what we usually think of when discussing slavery due to the fact that race did not make the difference between masters and slaves. It is also much different than our preconceived notions of slavery about how slaves were treated. Many times in domestic African slavery, a person was made a slave to pay for a debt or a crime that was committed. These slaves were well-fed and treated properly. Slaves within Africa had the opportunity to become free when their time as a slave was finished. War changed many aspects of slavery when outside sources, Arabs and Europeans, had a high demand for slaves. Because of this high demand for slaves, war ensued to capture slaves. Europeans used a type of slavery called chattel slavery. This form of slavery was the complete opposite of domestic African slavery where the slaves were treated poorly, not well-fed, and they had no freedoms. These people were made slaves against their will because of race and the fact that they were seen as inferior to Europeans, not because they were paying off a crime or debt. ” -“War is a state of armed conflict between different nations or states or different groups within a nation or state and slavery is a person who is the property of and wholly subject to another; a bond servant. But in Africa slavery was different from other places for example, European slavery were called chattel slavery. A chattel slave is a piece of property, with no rights. But in Africa a slave might be enslaved in order to pay off a debt or pay for a crime. These African slaves could themselves or even their children become part of their master’s family and become free one day. This was the total opposite of chattel slavery, once Africans were slaves; they as well as their children and grandchildren were enslaved for life. African slaves were treated well and were well fed; they were even able to own other slaves. These slaves were even able to work in government administration, and could possibly become an important state or royal official with great power. Africans generally enslaved ‘other’ people, not their own ethnic, or cultural, group. Slaves were taken as prisoners of war, or enslaved in payment for debt or as punishment for crime. Demand would grow from Arabs and Europeans for slaves and unlike the African slavery system that was peaceful; outside forces used warfare and raids to get slaves and the kidnapping of individuals increased. They would be treated as property and equipment instead of human beings.”
