Slavery in Canada on This Day in History

Investigating White Slavery

This Day in History: The "Act Against Slavery" in Upper Canada banned the importation of slaves on this day in 1793. It was one of many moves that Western Countries took to end slavery. Britain freed their slaves by paying off their slave owners, a debt that was not paid off until 2015. While the West went to great pains to end slavery, to this day, millions are still slaves in Africa.

"Thousands Of Black People Are Still Slaves. So Why Haven’t You Heard About Them? Every day across Africa, black men, women, and children are captured, bought, and sold into slavery with the Western world paying scant attention."
