The questions that follow will deal with one of the darkest topics in the history of the United States: the enslavement of millions of people, mostly of African origin.

In North America, between the 1600s and the 1800s, European Americans established a system of slavery with rules such as these:

Some people were allowed to own other people.
The owner of an enslaved person also owned any work done by that person.
Slaveowners could tell enslaved people what to do and punish anyone who did not obey.
Enslaved people could be bought, sold, and inherited.
When an enslaved woman had children, those children were also enslaved.
