Thomas Jefferson called the American form of slavery a crime against nature. The Southerner Mary Pickford said that "slavery makes every woman a whore and every man and adulterer.
Slavery deprived designated a group of humans as less than human because of the color of their skin. Slavery deprived slaves of not only having the rights of society but the very rights of nature including family. Slavery allowed certain men to sell, rape, and even murder their own children. I myself do not have the stomach to fully explain the evils of American Slavery but when it is discussed in any context the word should be understood to mean what it meant to be a slave.
That is instead of just talking about “Slavery” as if it were any other noun it might be good to actually define what Slavery meant to the Slaves. That is for some reason the term Slavery does not have the same effect as the “Holocaust” when in fact Slavery should stand with the Holocaust as an equal example of Man’s inhumanity to man.
