The horrors of the New World slave system cannot be expressed in figures alone but the shear scale of these is staggering. The slave population of the Americas reached 33,000 in 1700, nearly three million in 1800 and peaked at over six million in 1850. During this period a million and a half died during the passage to the New World, large numbers died beforehand and between a tenth and a fifth died within a year of landing.

**The majority of slaveholders in the South were not large plantation owners** but small farmers of modest means who didn't lived in pillared masions but in small,

rough log cabins. A substantial portion of Southerns were yeoman farmers who owned NO slaves. Yet pervasive racism convinced most white Southerns thet were

entitled to own blacks, even if they had not yet acquired enough capital to afford slaves.

One group consisted of philanthropists, clergy and abolitionist who wanted to free African slaves and their descendants and provide them with the opportunity to return to Africa. The other group was the slave owners who feared free people of color and wanted to expel them from America. In the upper south, there had been significant support for the American Colonization Society, with its program of gradual vountary emancipation accompanied by deportation of the freedmen.

**//Proslavey Cartoons//** **//What two groups are represented in the following proslavery cartoon?//** **//a. african-americans and the english-white working class//** **//b. slaves and slave holders//** **//c. immigrants ans slaves//** **//d. none//** Popular opinion was, for the most part, in favour of the abolition of the slave trade from the end of the eighteenth century onwards. However, some individuals and groups supported the slave trade and wished for it to continue. Often these individuals or groups had an economic interest in slavery - some owned plantations in the Caribbean, others manufactured restraints (such as chains) that were used on the plantations and others profited from the trade goods, such as sugar and tobacco, that were brought back from the Caribbean.



//This proslavery cartoon of 1841 contends **that the slave in America** had a better life than did **the working-class white in England**. Supposedly, the grateful slaves were clotherd, fed, and cared for in their old age and sympathetic masters, while starving English workers were mercilessly exploited by factory owners.//

answer: A. african-americans and the english-white working class
