Slavery started out pretty much right when we got here. We took boats to Africa and enslaved many Blacks. We made them do our work for us. They were beaten and whipped, but did nothing wrong except try to get free. One of the worst things about our slavery, was that it was racist. Even with all these negetives, it still improved our government a lot. They produced all the cotton and we were selling cotton like never before.
