like most slaves in history, they were the captured people by other tribes or by the muslim empires

is that it wasnt taxable labor

it's very common when you win a war you enslave the people, if you don't massacre them that is

most ppl who worked for a paycheck, worked more then the average slave alot of the times

I know I’m just saying there wasn’t consent they were in Africa then the next year in America

one of the arguments to end slavery was so they would become more productive and it would be taxable labor

the more powerful african tribes or the muslim sultanates in the areas would simply prevail in war over other african tribes and enslave them dispersing them through their own kingdoms and/or sellign them to other empires and nations

the cotton gin also made having slaves moot in some ways as well

theamericans buy black slaves because it was seen as unethical to enslave fellow whites and to enslave semites, but because of the curse of Canaan, and because of the primitiveness of their cultures, it was seen as okay to enslave the Hamites

It’s also crazy how people used the Bible back then to defend slavery

well the cotton gin came way later as well as cotton, cotton was actually only a cash crop for the period immediately before the civil war

Canaan was cursed to be servants of servants so

before cotton most slaves worked on plantations that grew tobacco and pot lmao

cotton gin was 1793

and sugar

those sugar burns ppl would get ughhh man

no joke

sugar was around for the gulf coast, but that was moreso a carribbean thing, and where the carribbean blacks in like haiti and jamaica and such went

We can agree that slavery is bad ?!

for virginia especialyl they have the world's best tobacco, still do in fact

Can we

slavery is not necessarily bad, forms of it are bad some forms of it are good

bruh

slavery still exists

ik

it’s terrible

debt is the oldest form of slavery

but that can also be technically beneficial

enslaving a human is bad even if they make trillions of dollars

gazillions

idc

it’s bad

if done right and wisely it can be a good thing for both the master and servant

if done evilly it can be evil for both the master and servant

I think it’s evil to begin with

We were born to be free

slavery is jsut the Master - Servant relationship

in and of itself it's not bad

Would god want slaves

God is the ultimate good Master

We are his children not his slaves
