Day1-slavery discovery

Today Dr. Finkleman addressed some of the myths that I had always held as truths. For instance the myth that 1/3 of all slaves died on the way to the colonies. Also, he addressed slavery for what it was. Not necessarily a biased against a race of people. It was a profitable business that many people made money at. It was not just in the colonies but it was started in other parts of the world and grew developed in the United States also. After Thomas Jefferson writes that all men are created equal, slave owners take that to truth. Some set their slaves free and others even bought them passage back to their homelands. People began to look at deeply immoral and could no longer treat other human beings at a commodity not a person.

Some of the founding fathers believed that slavery would eventually die out on its own. It does not it continues to grow and will eventually cause another war.
