The document discusses the history of slavery in the United States from the colonial period through the Civil War. It notes that slavery existed since colonial times, with slaves primarily of African descent used to work large plantations growing crops like tobacco, cotton, and sugar. The system denied slaves basic rights and freedoms. The Civil War was fought over the issues of slavery and states' rights, culminating in the Emancipation Proclamation that freed slaves and the 13th Amendment abolishing slavery nationwide.

plantations needed work force.

37. - TODAY'S SLAVERY WAYS
- CONSCIOUSNESS RAISING

38. HUMAN TRADE
Human trade is about moving people from
one place to another in order to exploit
them.
WORKING EXPLOITATION (children)
It's about receiving a payment wich is less
valorated than the work done .

39. If we put together these two facts we can
find that some people take advantage of
other people for disgusting and unhuman
purposes like:
! Clothes and shoes workshops
! Big factories
! Some agriculture models

40. Having conscious raising is to understand
other people's situation and to be able to
be sensitive with them.
If we do that we can understand what they
are going through and be able to act
consequently.

41. In 2004 there were in the world 218 million
children engaged in child labor, excluding
domestic work.
Some of the jobs they do today are still
making clothes or shoes for well known
clothing brands and companies.
