Sino-British Opium Wars

Sino-British Opium Wars
Historically, many societies used forced labor to build their economy, to exert political power, and to intimidate. Given the physical conditions of plantation work in the Americas, Europeans sought to replace indentured labors from Europe and resistant Native American Indian labor with cheap source of labor in Africa. The slave trade had political, economic, and social impacts in Africa. Throughout the 19th century, the Trans Atlantic slave trade, led to an influx of enslaved Africans that dramatically changed societies, in the Americas and the United States. Throughout the 19th century, the abolition movement found adherents in Europe, Australia, the Americas.
