The conditions were found to be so bad that they couldn't, due to disease, malnourishment, And mal treatment. The Dutch South Africans, or African had a different relationship with there slaves. The Dutch were straight foward with there idea of slavery they believed in the superiority of the great white race and were not forced to hide it by an ever involved Catholic church like Brazil. The Dutch were also a less stratified state they were not under the direct control of a monarchy, they ran their colony like a buissnes there brutality was a result of efficiency and the there attempt to control a much larger native population. In the United States Slavery was of some of the most brutal and suppressive recorded in history. Slaves had no hope of escaping they were stuck between a industrialized north and rural agricultural south. Slaves were thought of as sub human and were expressedly written into the constitution as such but only done so to appease the rural souths representation of population in congress. In the history of the U.S. there was little record of slave revolt or any type of organized slave body. This is in part do to the lack of identity or sense of culture slaves possessed. Unlike South Africa where there was a strong sense of tribal unity or in Brazil where slaves were imported relatively frequently giving them a sense of family and a bond with each other, American slaves were second or third generation slaves who new nothing of there culture or native lands and who where stripped from there family at a early age.
Marx then looks at how slavery and racism developed in each country. First we look at Brazil and find that it imported slaves due to its lack of population. Portugal Unlike England was very small in native population and discouraged people from settling there. Portugal instead thought of Brazil as source for raw materials used to supplement it's lack of natural resources.
