Answer to Question #133812 in History for van

Question

What is the difference between abolishing the African slave trade and the emancipation of slaves?

Answer 1

 emancipation sought more than freedom. They sought justice. An elusive dream, justice meant seeing former owners punished for their misdeeds. It meant reuniting shredded families. It meant getting paid for years of unrequited toil. It meant gaining civil and political rights. Without justice, Rose Herera could not feel truly free.
