An important subject area of study in better understanding The African Diaspora is an examination of what were experienced by the tens of thousands of former enslaved Africans following the Abolition of Slavery. Abolition occurred at different times in different societies during the 19th century. Abolition physically freed tens of thousands of Africans in varying New World societies in which the British, French, Dutch, Spanish and American slave holders had subjected tens of thousands of African peoples to a life of enslavement; forcing them to labor without monetary compensation and severely curtailing what was left of the future for themselves as well as their offspring. In every society, these former enslaved Africans found themselves, socially, economically and otherwise in hardship situations as they attempted to reconstruct their lives. They repeatedly faced social, economic as well as political challenges at every turn but, yet were determined to overcome the challenges and exist as the dignified humans they perceived themselves to be.

This semester’s research assignment focuses on African lives after or following the Abolition of Slavery in any of the New World societies where slavery had dominated the social, economic and political landscape and life of the colony or state. Students are expected to write an essay of, at least, 800-850 words relating to aftermath of the abolition of slavery. What were some of the problems faced by these freed Africans following abolition? How were these problems confronted and overcome? How were they able to rebuild their lives following abolition?

Students can focus their research discussions on these discussion points and explain the state of African communities in Africa or in the African Diaspora over time, following the abolition of slavery.
