 * Slavery** is a system in which people are the property of others. Slaves can be held against their will from the time of their capture, purchase or birth, and deprived of the right to leave, to refuse to work, or to demand compensation In some societies it was legal for an owner to kill a slave. In others it was a crime to kill a slave. Slavery started as a means of using people as a trade for items such as Tobacco, Sugar and Cotton, it started when the British captured free African tribes and transported them upon slave ships in numbers of 400 The slaves were then transported to the West Indies where they were sold to the owners of plantations, the goods (and some slaves) were then transported back to Britain, this triangular trade became known as the "Slave Trade Triangle"
