its a shit system
restarting the app sometimes helps
ANOTHER TRIUMPH OF JAVASCRIPT NO DOUBT
SUCKS TO HAVE TECHNICAL GLITCHES, @TendieLord BUT REBOOTING IS THE ONLY KNOWN CURE-ALL
REBOOTING THE APP THAT IS
Ok rebooted
@diversity_is_racism in your recent article you said that African slaves were used because they could better withstand the climate of the American South
@TendieLord INDEED
Than European indentured servants
THE HEAT IN THE SOUTH IS OPPRESSIVE
I don't think that's the main reason why they were used
BUT MORE THAN HEAT, THE SUN ITSELF
THEY WERE NOT CHEAP
INDENTURED LABOR FROM EUROPE WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER
BUT THEY WERE RESISTANT TO THE SUN
Pretty sure that chronic uprisings from indentured servants facilitated the transition to slave labor
Caste revolt, your favorite
THAT MIGHT DO IT AS WELL
TO SOME DEGREE, HIRING EURO-LABOR WOULD HAVE BEEN CHEAPER
ABILITY TO DISCARD THEM AFTER A DECADE, ETC.
But then they get uppity
After they're done
IN THE SOUTH, THIS WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN A PROBLEM
This incredibly unreliable and obviously biased blog post I found agrees with me
when white people in america get uppity they just move west and take land from injuns
black people took a different approach
Lol the next Google result after the blog post was a PBS article
Get a load of this:
@UOC not in Bacon's and Culpeper's Rebellions
haha fair enough, don't forget the whiskey rebellion
REBELLIONS ARE FAIRLY NORMAL EVENTS
NO REAL SUCCESSES HOWEVER
What about malaria
Blacks are more resistant to that too
is there malaria in the south?
I think there used to be
no
unless introduced by blacks
