Overview
In the early 17th century, a ship named White Lion docked near a port in Virginia. It was an ominous landing, a harbinger of decades-long history of bondage and slavery. The first "slaves" had arrived on American soil from present-day Angola. They numbered just 20 then, but by the late 19th century, the number of slaves stood at a staggering 4 million. Slaves from Africa remained under the treacherous yoke of slavery for generations, bereft of their right to live as human beings.
An odious institution was slowly beginning to take roots on the American soil; unchecked and unbridled, it grew to such monstrous proportion that in just a few years slavery was a well-accepted norm and a gross reality that a war was waged for its sake. A nation stood divided, whipsawed between an anti-slavery, predominately republican North America and pro-slavery democrat South America. Planters and manufacturers were in cahoots with the local populace in normalizing this evil practice, which is nothing but an abomination of human life and freedom.
It was so profitable for the large plantation owners and feudal lords in the South, that they were not ready to let go of slavery and fought a war though their population of 5 million was laughable compared to the 20 million in North America. The oppressor continued his abuse and the oppressed continued the silent forbearance. When Abraham Lincoln, the great American leader and visionary president signed the Emancipation Proclamation on the 1st of January 1863, he not only liberated the 4 million African slaves, but also generations of African slaves from a shameful, cruel, and torturous bondage.
In one stroke of his pen, he transformed their lives from "slaves" to "free". The Pen is mightier than the sword, indeed!
