Emancipation was when in 1834 apprenticeship system was ended which was half slavery which was to provide a peaceful transition from slavery to freedom. Emancipation was when slaves was granted freedom from the planters and they moved away from plantatons and settled into their own occupation and settled into crown lands which was owned by the government. They set up their own plantations and soon were independent. They had the right to vote now and the right to have an education which made them significant in socitey. After emancipation was immigration when the chinese and maderians and portuguese and indians came to work on the fields because planters had no labour ......

Even if we are emancipated as a people do you really feel free can you still do what you did 7 years ago and still do it now, do you still have to fear for you lives any time you go out. Even if we are emancipated we are still slaves to money, greed, lust, sexual desires,etc
