The Chains of Slavery
Slavery... a societal institution based on ownership, dominance and exploitation of one human being by another. The owners may exact work or other services without payment and can deny the slave's freedom in activity and mobility. Therefore, they are regarded as an article of property and can be sold or given away. Slavery appears almost universally throughout the history: Slavery in the Ancient World, Slavery in the Middle Ages and Slavery in the New World. The most well-known slavery case in the New World is the case of the Blacks or the Africans (now the Afro-Americans) which is vividly portrayed in the film La Amistad.

The Slavery Issue finally meets its end and can only be found in the old pages of the books and newspapers. It is like a never ending process that plague and haunts them. Foods (they are unfed), ventilation, lightning and sanitary while traveling are deprived from them.
