Slavery is, in the strictest sense of the term, any system in which principles of property law are applied to people, allowing individuals to own, buy and sell other individuals, as a de jure form of property. A slave is unable to withdraw unilaterally from such an arrangement and works without remuneration.
Slavery in the United States was the legal institution of human chattel slavery that existed in the United States of America in the 18th and 19th centuries after it gained independence and before the end of the American Civil War.he United States was polarized over the issue of slavery, represented by the slave and free states divided by the MasonâDixon line, which separated free Pennsylvania from slave Maryland and Delaware. The importation of slaves was prohibited in 1808, although illegal importationâsmugglingâwas not unusual.
