compare and contrast DBQ

   The American and Muslim slavery Era had a lot of similarities and differences dealing with social, economic and political themes.
The differences that were social between the American and Muslims Slavery was in the American slave were picked because of their race and or color . The Muslims slave were picked based off their religion , so if you were not a muslim you were their slaves.

" Sugar Plantation  and Coffee Plantation 50,000 slaves. (Document 4).  After the slave trade was banned in the Muslim Nation the value on slaves increased dramatically.
      The Muslims had a different take on was slavery okay or not they believe that the Holy Law permits slavery nut it said the slave must be treated like humans.
