In the American South, slavery normally was a lifetime condition, and children born to slave mothers automatically became slaves of the owner.
In the American South, slavery normally was a lifetime condition, and children born to slave mothers automatically became slaves of the owner.
In the United States, the northern states abolished slavery by 1803—most of the slaves there were house servants. In [[The South]], however, cotton made slavery very profitable and 11 states seceded in 1861 to protect their interest. [[Abraham Lincoln]] achieved the end of slavery in 1863-65, using the Army and the [[13th Amendment]]. In Cuba and Brazil, slavery was unprofitable and finally collapsed in the 1880s as few people wanted to buy slaves.
