Slavery in Canada (1)

This hits close to home. Literally. Some of the slaves in Canada were African but, most were Aboriginal. Aboriginal groups practiced slavery in Canada's geography. There wasn't much Canadian trade with the African slaves.  

The native nations enslaved their rivals, they were bought by a nation colony (Colonial Administrators) this continued until 1833. 

In 1833, across the British Empire slave trade was formally put to an end. 

Canada's role in the trans-Atlantic slave trade was small. Slavery in Canada was usually overcast by the violent slavery in other places in the Americas. Most of the intense slavery was in the colonial Caribbean and American South. Afua Cooper says that slavery is, "Canada's best kept secret, locked within the National Closet."
