Lancaster slave trade

The Lancaster Slave Trade was a time in history when some people bought and sold other people as if they were objects. They called them slaves and it was very wrong. The slaves were usually taken away from their families and moved to a different land to work for their "owners" without getting paid. It was hard and terrible work and often the slave didn't get enough food or water. The people who owned slaves got very rich and very powerful. Eventually, the people of Lancaster realized this was wrong and worked to have the Lancaster Slave Trade stopped.
