However, in the midst of colonization, the ideology of slavery would endure a massive transformation. Competing for new land, empire building colonies had a growing need for labor. Due to these circumstances, the concept of racial slavery was born. Enforced by new laws supported by powerful colonies, Africans fell victims to the transformation

Throughout the 1800 century, there has been plenty of discussion concerning slaves and their masters, slaves working on plantation fields and house slaves serving only their masters.

Many of these discussions have be focus on why slavery grew so rapidly between the late 1700’s and the mid 1800’s just before the Civil War. The number of slaves in the south during the late 1700’s was approximately 500,000, this number grew to almost four million by the 1860’s.
