1. Why was the slave trade, once under way hard to stop?

a. In European colonies?

The slave trade in European colonies was hard to stop

because this is a form of their living. With this they can earn big
profit than any other form of living.
b. In Africa?
We know that in Africa it so hard to earn money to sustain
their needs. Slavery was a way wherein Africans can easily earn
money.
How it was finally stopped?

The United States banned the importation of slaves (1808).

There was, however, only minimal enforcement by the U.S. Navy.
It was the Royal Navy that eventually ended the slave trade. The
slave trade had been a lynch pin in thr triangular trade that has
been a key element of the British economy and helped bring
great wealth to Britain. The British Parliament during the
Napoleonic Wars banned the slave trade (1807). According to the
Biblical Book of Exodus, Moses led Israelite slaves out of ancient
Egypt — possibly the first written account of a movement to free
slaves. Later Jewish laws (known as Halacha) prevented slaves
from being sold out of the Land of Israel, and allowed a slave to
move to Israel if he so desired. One of the first protests against
the enslavement of Africans came from German and Dutch
Quakers in Pennsylvania in 1688. One of the most significant
milestones in the campaign to abolish slavery throughout the
world occurred in England in 1772, with British judge Lord
Mansfield, whose opinion in Somersett's Case was widely taken to
have held that slavery was illegal in England.
1. How did the slave trade undermine African society and culture?
2. What constitutional rights were violated in the film in relation to:
a. Natural rights
b. Political rights
c. Civil rights
d. Rights of the concerned
1. What are the meaning of due process of law and equal protection of the laws?
 Were these two rights observed during the entire trial? Justify your answer.

Due process is the principle that the government must

respect all of the legal rights that are owed to a person according
to the law of the land. As developed through a large body of case
law in the United States, this principle gives individuals a varying
ability to enforce their rights against alleged violations by
governments and their agents (that is, state actors), but normally
not against other private citizens.
Due process has also been frequently interpreted as placing
limitations on laws and legal proceedings, in order for judges
instead of legislators to define and guarantee fundamental
fairness, justice, and liberty.
The Equal Protection Clause, part of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the United States Constitution, provides that "no
state shall ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal
protection of the laws".[1] The Equal Protection Clause can be seen
as an attempt to secure the promise of the United States'
professed commitment to the proposition that "all men are
created equal"[2] by empowering the judiciary to enforce that
principle against the states.
