To this day, a plethora of people think slavery has been eradicated. While this statement is true, the International Labor Organization (ILO) states that there are approximately 20.9 million men, women and children worldwide currently enslaved. In general, some people will think that this statement is false. The reason is that most people think that slavery is the transatlantic slave trade. He captured a huge amount of Africans and transported them to the West Indies and the United States to work on plantations. Although slavery was abolished in the 19th century, it still exists today, but in different forms. In 1619, African slaves were brought to North America to work in the colony of Jamestown, Virginia. The English, who brought slaves here, wanted Africans to help produce cash crops, especially tobacco and cotton. Later in the 17th and 18th centuries slavery was practiced throughout the nation. Slaves became the backbone of this country. With the advent of the 19th century, America also expanded westward. That said, it caused an abolishment movement that led to a bloody civil war (1861-1865) between the North and South of the United States. Even though the Union defeated the rebels, the legacy of slavery influences American culture today. According to the ILO, slavery in the 21st century is defined as people being sold as/as objects and/or forced to work for little or no pay. ask your employer for mercy. Although there are multiple characteristics that distinguish slavery from human rights violations, a person still only needs the presence of a human being for slavery to exist. Someone is enslaved when the person… middle of paper… wants to profit from the exploitation of other people, such as the government. The government recruits people for military service and in return makes nothing but threats and affronts, for example in Burma, North Korea and China. That said, according to the ILO, forced labor is present throughout the world, but according to the ILO it is only more dominant in the Asia-Pacific region. In short, according to the reformulated proverb “history repeats itself”, stated by Rufus Historie means that slavery will repeat itself once. once again, but with a different lineup. This training may vary. Although modern slavery has some characteristics of human rights violations. To reiterate what I said, the difference is that it takes one person to exist instead of a plethora of people being considered slavery. Therefore, slavery still exists today and is a serious problem that needs to be corrected
