For Research Cato's How to keep a slave

Find a part of the world where slavery still exist. Why does slavery continue there?

One country that slavery still exist is Africa. To people when they think about slavery they always go back to the United States during the Civil War and how slavery was then. The slavery then was cruel and the slave owners treated the slaves horribly. When it comes to slavery in Africa yes they are seen as property but others see them as dependents and people who will eventually join there family. In some society's in Africa the slaves are allowed to join the military forces which is not often seen in other society's.

Another area involving slavery in Africa is that is first got started by the Arab Muslims and Europeans not the Africans themselves but later on it also went to them. The origins of slavery in Africa started with the Egyptians they would raid neighboring villages and take people to be there slaves there and work for them. Some roles of the slaves are/were to trade and spin and dye the cotton and farm and herd animals those were the main jobs for the slaves.

Why it is still continued there is because of the different classes they have and the wealth of some people. Also prisoners of war with all of the civil wars breaking out over in Africa they are taken and are to become there slaves and work for them and do what ever task is needed to be done.
