  Negro slaves had been introduced into ancient Egypt and later into Rome and the Byzantine Empire; Carthage also procured them for use in the Roman galleys. In wars of conquest in the Egyptian Sudan and along the East African coast, Arabs and Berbers had crossed the Sahara Desert from North Africa into the region of the Niger, taking slaves to southern Persia, western India, and the coasts of Arabia. Egypt, North Africa, and the Turkish Empire.

  One account of how African slavery commenced in the west relates that “Henry, King of Portugal, under authority from three Roman Pontiffs” around 1454 took possession of several islands and havens on the coast of Africa; then took many slaves by force, trick, artifice, and barter.

  Discussing how Indians did not view economy or superficial achievements like the whites did …

  There was one exception in many tribes - the attainment of distinction through war honors; thus war as an exciting contest of courage, and skill was a necessity. One time in 1724 the Creeks offered to mediate between the Senecas and the Cherokees, who were having a good time collecting each other’s hair, but the Senecas explained that they could not afford to make peace, “We have no people to war against nor yet no meal to eat but the Cherokees.”

  Black codes were restrictive laws designed to limit the freedom of African Americans and ensure their availability as a cheap labor force after slavery was abolished during the Civil War. Though the Union victory had given some 4 million slaves their freedom, the question of freed blacks’ status in the postwar South was still very much unresolved. Under black codes, many states required blacks to sign yearly labor contracts; if they refused, they risked being arrested, fined, and forced into unpaid labor. Outrage over black codes helped undermine support for President Andrew Johnson and the Republican Party.
