Therefore, slavery during civilization times had limits which changed drastically once the era of exploration and discovery came due to economic and cultural expansion that caused their relationship, extent, and nature to have a an entirely different meaning. At the beginning civilization, slavery became present, and there was a relationship to be made between the slaves and owners.

The institution of slavery almost instantly developed between 1607 and 1750 because the source of labor shifted its roots from indentured servants from Europe to slaves from Africa was founded on a religious base with the objective of converting more people to Christianity and slaves were easily seen as property. Slavery expanded and developed between 1608 and 1750 because the source of labor changed from indentured servants to cheap and reliable slaves.

Evidently, this thinking became popular among plantation owners because eventually, the system of slavery overtook the indentured servants.
The use of slaves has always been present in the world since the beginning of civilization, although the use and treatment of those slaves has differed widely through time and geographic location. Different geographies call for different types of work ranging from labor-intensive sugar cultivation and production in the tropics to household help in less agriculturally intensive areas. In addition to time and space, the mindsets and beliefs of the people in those areas affect how the slaves will be treated and how “human” those slaves will be perceived to be. In the Early Modern Era, the two main locations where slaves were used most extensively were the European dominated Americas and the Muslim Empires. The American slavery system and the

At first glance, I witnessed the deep, concentrated red in the left corner of the painting of Patrick Campbell’s artwork. I immediately saw the red dripping down to show the people hanging on the seven stripes on the American Flag. It appears that two of the bodies hanging are women, three are men, and one is a young child. The stripes on the red also have little splats of a darker red down them. The white stripes are completely clean, no red dripping just crisp, white lines with nothing inside of them besides a little bit of the bodies, hanging over.
