Slaveries Positive Effect
Slavery was terrible but also had a positive effect on us. With slavery we were able to
come to the U.S. We also made an impact on society. Slavery also helped us produce our
inventions and science we use today. Slavery had a positive effect on us in its own way.
A positive in slavery was that we were able to come to the U.S. With that we were able to
build up on the population. Slavery also made it possible for us to mix up the population.
Without slavery I think it would not be possible for us to come to the U.S. There were facts and
opinion to this resource.
Slavery also helped us with inventions and science. We made it possible for clothes to be
made quicker. We also invented a lot of food, products and many more. Just a few names to
throw out Madam C.J. Walker, George Washington Carver. We were able to succeed and
making the United States a better place to live in.
We also shaped the way the United States is today. Without us being in the United States
we would have been able to defeat Britain in the Revolutionary War. We also had political
leaders in the world. We were able to make the United States Army stronger than it was at first.
Whites were even being nice to us for letting us come to the United States.
Even though slavery was a terrible thing it also had some positive things happened to us.
We were able to bring music, dance, and our culture to this country. It also helped us have our
inventions and science made quicker with us being a slave and working. By force we were able

to help America with its Army and teach them well. Slavery to me was not all that bad but I
should know it was not all that good.
