Generous rating tkilltt25 September 2020 Watched the film tonight and was very let down. The cinematography was perfect but failed to deliver with the story. Its a very "now" message highlighting the fact that racism is alive and strong. If you watch for the horror aspect you'll be extremely unimpressed. Its disheartening to see so many films with potential succumb to the woke culture. My 4 star rating was purely for cinematography and the score. I cant stress how perfect the opening 20 minutes are and how beautiful the final song aligns with the struggle the heroin faces. The acting was over the top and unbelievable. The story failed itself in too many ways to count, but the one way that mattered more than anything is that it hammers the same logic any woke film does. White is bad, black is power and the patriarchy is evil. If you don't mind hearing that message in every movie you watch, THIS is the film for you. For those of us that seek originality and good story telling, we'll probably give nothing more than 5 stars.

Examples of this are of course Cotton, sugar, tobacco, perhaps some spices. Those crops are labour-intensive in their cultivation and different from Europe labour to do that kind of work wasn't available in those regions. Bear in mind that serfdom was still common in Europe of that time as well, while the signs already where there for phasing this economic model out.
It was the Western Nations that decided to phase out Slavery completely. It is however arguable whether a slave was economically worse off than an unskilled day labourer at the time. The master had a vested interest in the long term well-being of the slave, while an employer on day basis only had vested interest in the work of the labourer that day.
Jews were involved in slavery and the Slave Trade.

Of course that aspect will be above critique, in the public dealings with the issue.
Slavery debase labour and gainful employment in the mind of members of society:

Slavery debase labour and gainful employment in the mind of members of society:
So long as all labor continues to be performed exclusively or usually by slaves, the baseness of all productive effort is too constantly and deterrently present in the mind of men to allow the instinct of workmanship seriously to take effect in the direction of industrial usefulness; but when the quasi-peaceable stage (with slavery and status) passes into the peaceable stage of industry (with wage labor and cash payment) the instinct comes more effectively into play. It then begins aggressively to shape men's views of what is meritorious, and asserts itself at least as an auxiliary canon of self-complacency. All extraneous considerations apart, those persons (adult) are but a vanishing minority today who harbor no inclination to the accomplishment of some end, or who are not impelled of their own motion to shape some object or fact or relation for human use. The propensity may in large measure be overborne by the more immediately constraining incentive to a reputable leisure and an avoidance of indecorous usefulness, and it may therefore work itself out in make-believe only; as for instance in "social duties," and in quasi-artistic or quasi-scholarly accomplishments, in the care and decoration of the house, in sewing-circle activity or dress reform, in proficiency at dress, cards, yachting, golf, and various sports. But the fact that it may under stress of circumstances eventuate in inanities no more disproves the presence of the instinct than the reality of the brooding instinct is disproved by inducing a hen to sit on a nestful of china eggs.
This latter-day uneasy reaching-out for some form of purposeful activity that shall at the same time not be indecorously productive of either individual or collective gain marks a difference of attitude between the modern leisure class and that of the quasi-peaceable stage. At the earlier stage, as was said above, the all-dominating institution of slavery and status acted resistlessly to discountenance exertion directed to other than naively predatory ends. It was still possible to find some habitual employment for the inclination to action in the way of forcible aggression or repression directed against hostile groups or against the subject classes within the group; and this served to relieve the pressure and draw off the energy of the leisure class without a resort to actually useful, or even ostensibly useful employments. The practice of hunting also served the same purpose in some degree. When the community developed into a peaceful industrial organization, and when fuller occupation of the land had reduced the opportunities for the hunt to an inconsiderable residue, the pressure of energy seeking purposeful employment was left to find an outlet in some other direction.

This year’s big winner was 12 Years a Slave, a film depicting slavery in the antebellum south. It portrays Blacks as helpless victims being psychologically and physically abused relentlessly by their vicious, whip-cracking White slave masters. In reality, most Blacks were treated very well by the White Christian southern slave owners, and many were worse off after slavery was abolished. They had already been enslaved in Africa by rival tribes and ended up with an exponentially better life here in America than they could have ever even dreamt of in Africa. The practice of slavery is in no way exclusive to the White race. Every race has done it at one time or another. Some are still practicing it to this day, including the Jews in Israel and the Blacks in Africa.
