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
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
his yoke is light and is not a burden it is written
Would god want us to have slaves
your not his child if your not in Messiah
No I don’t think so
did you never hear the story of the prodigal son?
