Slavery in the United States began soon after English colonists first settled Virginia in 1607 and lasted as a legal institution until the passage of the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1865. It continues illegally to this day. Before the widespread establishment of chattel slavery, much labor was organized under a system of bonded labor known as indentured servitude. This typically lasted for several years for white and black alike, and it was a means of using labor to pay the costs of transporting people to the colonies. By the 18th century, court rulings established the racial basis of the American incarnation of slavery to apply chiefly to Black Africans and people of African descent, and occasionally to Native Americans. A 1705 Virginia law stated slavery would apply to those peoples from nations that were not Christian. In part because of the success of tobacco as a cash crop in the Southern colonies, its labor-intensive character caused planters to import more slaves for labor by the end of the 17th century than did the northern colonies. The South had a significantly higher number and proportion of slaves in the population. Religious differences contributed to this geographic disparity as well. From 1654 until 1865, slavery for life was legal within the boundaries of much of the present United States. Most slaves were black and were held by whites, although some Native Americans and free blacks also held slaves; there were a small number …
Slavery never should have existed in this world…not only for africans,but for asians,hispanics,native americans or some whites.There is no excuse for it and clearly it doesn’t accomplish anything.
Sick fact
While slavery was illegal in the Netherlands it was not illegal for Dutch traders to capture and sell slaves to foreign parties
Rather sick when you look at it
The only reason that I know this is because I am Dutch and was taught this in history class,
Forgive me if this “sick fact” is not 100% accurate, my school days were a long time ago and I may have remembered part of it incorrectly
The Muslims started the slave trade well before the europeans arrived there. The Muslims and the Kings and Princes of different tribes captured and sold black Africans to the Spanish and the Europeans. Why do blacks always put the whites as starting slavery? Get your history straight.
back then it was about slaves, today it was about oil.
europe put in place, “leaders”, that did business their way.
then passed that trick on to americans, CIA have helped many leaders to power – that would “trade” with them, their way, manuel noriega, sani abacha, saddam hussein.
I bet if taliban & co was in power they would not sell any oil. they wouldn’t sell u shit.
maybe some of the “war” we see now is when people don’t want to “trade”.
examples, the historian, gave was the rapid growth of bristol, a bridge that was built there, birmingham (where the chains were made), liverpool. these places became cities (great) because of slave profit.
wether the historian was black or white I can’t recall and it doesn’t matter. I may add the link
it wasn’t only britain, examples of massive profits of slavery was shown in europe.
museum of central africa & palaces have been built on slave profit in belgium.
portugal and spain also.
The “great” in great britain does not mean it fantastic or brilliant etc, but because britain is made up of more than one country. eg manchester discribes the city but the area around manchester including other towns is called greater manchester
Too bad slavery isn’t around anymore , there are a lot of people still at the Dark Continent that would love for the boats to still be running . But alas the good ole days are gone . Of course the blessing of slavery would of been shut down fairly soon anyway cause do gooders don’t realize they are doing more harm than good . Too bad they don’t do a mock like this about killing the indians or abortion .
i read that before the “slave trade”, britain was britain.
then made so much “profit” from sugar, cotton, and decided to build bridges, cathedrals, her army.
it was the “profit” from the “slave trade”, that put the Great in Great Britain.
british felt great, because they made so much money.
i’m sure USA also received a similar economic boost.
some African kings refused to sell any of their captives or criminals. King Jaja refused to do business with the slavers completely.
Jaja of Opobo, nigeria (1821–1891) refused to trade with british. The British invited Jaja to negotiations in 1887. When Jaja arrived, the British arrested him and tried him in Ghana. then took him to London. Later, he was exiled to the West Indies then in Barbados.
In 1891, Jaja was freed to return to Opobo, but was poisoned with a cup of tea on his way home.
The Israelites are the modern descendants of the ancient Israelites. The Hebrew Israelites have been scattered to the four corners of the earth.They reside in all lands among all people, they are suffering from the curses that are found in the law books of Leviticus chapter 26 and Deuteronomy chapter 28. Today they are known by the bywords and proverbs of “BLACKS, AFRICAN AMERICANS, AFRO AMERICANS, NEGROES, NIGGERS, ETC.Hebrew Israelites are the true descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob

Black people are monkeys
In some way it makes sence because they are not on Dutch soil, Dutch laws can’t be enforced on them. Doesn’t take away that its a shame it happened.
What I still wonder is: why, if we used “bling” to capture Africans, why do so many African Americans still act so cool with their “bling”?

bristol & liverpool were key ports and were in competition for business.
they made so much money as did all of europe.
it is ridiculous to refer to the holocaust of africa as “the slave trade”, when really europeans and arabs actually stole 98.5% of the people.
examples, the historian, gave was the rapid growth of bristol, a bridge that was built there, birmingham (where the chains were made), liverpool. these places became cities (great) because of slave profit.
