a path to emancipation

 during the short time i have spent in form five, i have learnt a lot of educational information. the metropolitan movements which lead to emancipation is one of the topics which have stood out to me the most. this movement have been supported by several factors. these factors include social, economic, humanitarian religious and social. individuals such as the activist have promoted a lot to help in black emancipation. the acts of persons to help has provided blacks with the life we now have. several revolts such as the Berbice revolt and Haitian revolution has aided minorly towards the termination of slavery. 

the several factors such as the humanitarian which mainly means that slavery is inhumane. slavery involved the use of unnecessary and brutal punishments which usually resulted in the death of west African slaves.  on the plantation slave's rights  were disregarded and all that mattered was their ability to work and produce crops especially sugarcane which was at a great demand. on the plantation slaves were starved, beaten, hanged, and abused. planters usually abused their power because they wanted to maintain control of the slaves.  

they used various forms of slave control to maintain their power over the slaves. this included physical, ideological, pschological, cultural, economic and social. ideological control was the idea given to slaves that everthing black was bad or negative and everything  white was good. psychologicl control was either major or minor actions to convince the africans they were inferior. cultural involved banning africans to practise their traditions such as drumming, obeah and speaking their native language. social  control involved the use of status while economic was where slaves rlied on the planters for everything.

furthermore, the economic reasons also prevented this because slaves were dependent on the blacks for basic necessities. these included food shelter and clothing. which is why it was difficult for slaves to leave on their own even though they wanted to escape their lives on the plantation.  

many more reasons are included such as religious. this involved twisting the words of the bible to suit the whites needs. also social can be included because slavery was used as way for poor planters to rise to the top of the social class. which is one of the reasons planters wnated to prevent slavery turmination.

despite all this the amelioration act came into play. yet sadly it was unsuccessful. the british parliament placed this act into function but because of the impact of the white planters to prevent it from standing it sadly ended in rubbles. white planters prevented blacks from knowing their rights which they gained so most were uaware they could now place evidence against whites or they couldnt be given a certain amount of strokes. 

later on a fight for emancipation came into play
