From the Paper
"The "peculiar institution" of slavery was a central and formative aspect of American government, society, cultural life, and economic development from the time of the Revolutionary War to its abolition in 1865 after a bloody Civil War. While it is impossible to cover this topic adequately in a short essay, we will endeavor to answer some key questions about this crucial issue. Slavery persisted from the time of the Revolution into the nineteenth century for several important reasons. Although a spirit of reform spread throughout the former colonies in the wake of victory after 1783, this did ..."

From the Paper
"After the American Revolution, free and enslaved African American was not able to have what they called equality. They still faced a lot of hardship and discrimination. A number of white Americans, for a variety of reasons, joined them in their efforts to resolve this complex problem. One possible solution for gaining equality was that the white and the Black Americans should be separated completely. Yet, the Constitution would then have to be amended."

From the Paper
"In the first half of the nineteenth century, Russian society was founded on the nobility, the privileged landowners who were supported by the serfs. As the nineteenth century progressed, serfdom as an economic system was less able to satisfy the needs of the Russian Empire, and during this period, the country's economy and agriculture was in crisis, serfs frequently rose up against their masters that eventually led to the war. In order to understand the abolition of serfdom in Russia it is necessary to evaluate important historical events such as the unsettled economical conditions, agriculture, peasant revolts, and the Crimean War that led to the emancipation of the serfs."

Abstract
This paper explores the movement towards abolition in Britain prior to the U.S. civil war. It compares the movement to that in the U.S. and the specific factors that brought upon the end to slavery in Britain.

From the paper:

"Abolition in Britain did not arise as a movement merely out of the goodness of people?s hearts but was rather the result of a number of complex forces. Abolition became a popular cause in part because of other reforms that were occurring in British society and politics at the time and in part because it was no longer economically advantageous to Britain ? as well as because it was to many morally repugnant."

Abstract
The paper relates that in the years following the abolition of slavery, the lives of African Americans, particularly in the American South, were not cleared of the hardships and tribulations which had filled them for the decades before. The paper reveals that in many ways, these people who had for so long been treated as almost subhuman were now mistreated just as badly as before. Using two primary documents, this paper details the difficulties that African Americans still faced after abolition.

Abstract
The Law of 13 May 1888 abolishing slavery without compensation was the death blow to many plantation owners from Rio de Janeiro who had held a large number of slaves during a period of economic squeeze suffered severely in regions such as Rio de Janeiro. Abolition hastened the collapse of the Empire and the establishment of the Republic. Brazilian abolition of slavery in 1888 was not followed by systematic efforts to improve the lot of former slaves. Many individuals and small family units continued to depend upon the plantation owners for their welfare.

Abstract
This paper discusses the effect the abolition of slavery had on slaves. The paper contends that most people view the abolition of slavery in a positive light. The 13th Amendment is credited with ending slavery and involuntary servitude. The paper explains that, even though the emancipation of slaves was, at first, viewed as a triumphant success for the people it affected, there were many drawbacks. Most of the slaves that were freed did not embark on a life filled with the pursuit of happiness and freedom. Instead, many slaves actually struggled to survive and make ends meet in a society that still looked upon ex-slaves as 'second-class citizens.' The paper explores the notion of ex-slaves as second-class citizens and examines the many hardships they faced after passage of the 13th Amendment.

From the Paper
"Many slaves experienced hardship after abolition. Ex-slaves own accounts attest to the difficulty a number of slaves had finding homes and jobs and protecting themselves from prejudiced and discriminatory behavior (Nichols, 1969). Whereas many slaves had grown up on plantations where they had a roof to cover their head and consistent meals to eat, many found themselves forced out onto the 'street' with nothing to rely on. Many had no job, no home and no education they could rely on to find a reasonable way to make a living for themselves in the world."

Abstract
The paper discusses President Obama's call for the abolition of nuclear weapons from the theoretical perspective of neorealism and explains that it indicates that eliminating nuclear weapons is unlikely because security is the principal goal of a nation-state and nuclear weapons provide the ultimate level of security. The paper asserts that in accordance with neorealist theory, nation-states should unceasingly expand their national strength in order to achieve absolute security, which in the nuclear age requires nation-states without nuclear weapons capabilities to develop them, and requires nation-states with nuclear capabilities to expand them while ensuring that other nation-states do not acquire them.

Abstract
"The Abolition of Man" is a defense of Natural Law (Morality). C.S. Lewis argues that we need as a society to underpin reading and writing with lessons on morality and in the process both educate and re-educate ourselves. This paper analyzes his arguments and discusses whether people should live according to their inert feeling that allows them to distinguish between right or wrong or solely by morals.

From the Paper
"In the first essay of The Abolition of Man, C. S. Lewis argues that young people should not have their feelings severed. They should be able to coexist with their emotions. He believes that children need to have a foundation of sensitivity so they know right from wrong. The heart harbors sensitivity and the head is charge of justness. The head should overrule what is in the heart if necessary, but the feeling should still exist. Men are created without chests. They are told that they should have motivation and drive. They should achieve in business. They should be powerful rulers, yet they have no hearts."

Abstract
This paper details some of the difficulties that African Americans continued to face after the abolition of slavery. It looks especially closely at the relationships between Black and White Southerners and the perceptions that these two groups had about one another. The paper discusses issues of ownership, perception, status and violence.

From the Paper
"After the end of slavery, Blake notes that it was also hard for blacks to have anything of value for their own. As slaves, they were allowed things like whiskey and food and other extra items. But as a hired person working as a sharecropper, "we couldn't make nothing, just overalls and something to eat" (Blake). It seems that the white man had become used to making so much from slaves, that he still found a way to make as much by making sure the blacks just made even less than they had before. Life after slavery found blacks with even less than they had materially as slaves."
