Slave, a person who is legal property of another person and is forced to do something such as help build a pyramid with all the Egyptians. Document A, B, and E all have many reasonings that slaves did build the pyramids. Slaves definitely built the pyramids considering about 8,000,000 Egyptians or even all the Egyptians built the pyramids; in other words they were lash-driven men which a lash-driven man is mostly a slave. Some people would say that some workers were found in tombs and no one would ever honer a slave that nicely. Nevertheless whoever buried the people can't bury 8,000,000 people in one tomb.
Document 1 shows the year of emancipation in various countries in the Americas and Muslim world; it can be seen that most of the American countries emancipated slavery about a century before most of the Muslim countries did so. As most of the countries eventually emancipated slavery because of internal pressures from the public, it can be deduced that the American countries had greater public pressure on slavery earlier on than did the Muslim countries. This could be because of the difference in treatment of slaves where slaves in the Americans were treated significantly more harshly than their counterparts in the Muslim world. Document 4 is a table showing the usage of slaves in Cuba in 1825 and it can be seen that the majority was used for rural farming while the minority was used for urban occupations. This is opposite to slave use in the Muslim world, where the majority was used for urban work and the minority was used in the rural fields.
The word slave entitles the label of the person being legal property and is forced to obey the owners orders at all causes. For Harriet Jacobs she was claimed and labeled a slave at a young age and began her years of slavery. As we have learned from history, slaves were constantly mistreated and abused for their labor had no rights or say for their lives. Unlike Jacobs she wasn’t endured to hard beatings nor intensive labor like most slaves though she was still sexually abused by her owners. As a slave and a runaway Harriet Jacobs suffered more from psychological abuse than physical abuse because she was abused, separated from her family and was forced into hiding for most of her adult life.

The labor becomes a commodity in the market and does not have the free will to choose the regions he/she should go to for work. He/she is chained and forced to work several years without any decent pay. The slave masters look at the salves as animals that should spend most of their lives working.

He fights for a society free of forced labor that was perpetrated and introduced to the United States with foreigners who lacked any connections with the development of the United
In 1963, tension in America and the surrounding world was at an all-time high. The Cold War between the Soviet Union and USA was reaching its fever pitch with both nations seemingly just one ill-placed step away from the world’s first potential full-fledged Nuclear War. With this, along with the 13-day long game of chicken between the US and USSR that was the Cuban Missile Crisis at the end of 1962, on his conscience, historian and sociologist Erich Fromm wrote “Disobedience as a Psychological and Moral Problem.” In his article, Fromm argues that since the dawn of time, humans’ ability to be disobedient has been the driving force of human evolution from the Stone Ages to modern society, and that if any one force is powerful enough to terminate civilization, humankind’s tendency to be obedient by default may be it. Fromm proves the dangers of obedience by referencing the genesis of man, the differences between teacher and slave master, and time-proof arguments, but despite being built on a
Kevin Bales once said, “Slavery is theft -- theft of a life, theft of work, theft of any property or produce, theft even of the children a slave might have borne”. Slavery takes your freedom away and forces you do whatever your master or leader wants you to do. This quote is proven to be true by the book Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, written by himself, Frederick Douglass tells his life story as a slave which ends in freedom. George Fitzhugh thinks otherwise when he writes an essay called “Slavery Justified”. In this essay, Fitzhugh argues that slavery is justifiable.
