Gender roles are very prominent in Disney films; typically women are portrayed as a princess, queen, or homemaker. A Disney princess is a female heroine that many children look up to as role models. Though usually not princess by birth, these women are praised for their determination, skills, and strong will.
Slavery existed in Africa, but it was not the same type of slavery that the Europeans introduced. The European form was called chattel slavery. A chattel slave is a piece of property, with no rights. Slavery within Africa was different. A slave might be enslaved in order to pay off a debt or pay for a crime. Slaves in Africa lost the protection of their family and their place in society through enslavement.
As far as the institution of chattel slavery â the treatment of slaves as property â in the United States, if we use 1619 as the beginning and the 1865 Thirteenth Amendment as its end then it lasted 246 years, not 400.
