Slavery

I've been learning about slavery in Social Studies. The part that I know the most about this chapter is on July 3, 1826. On the 50th anniversary of the United States, Thomas Jefferson and John Adams died. On that day, all the slaves thought they would be free but Abraham Lincoln said they would be free when he dies. This topic reminds me of the slavery in Uganda. The part that is the most confusing is why would you keep slaves yet you have everything and you can survive without slavery? I would like to know more about slavery.

  1. I remember learning about this and watching a movie about it when i was in 4th grade. Was it the north or the south who didn't like slavery?
