right it was illegal to convert slaves, it was ilelgal to teach them to read or write, and so forth
this is because they're slaves
Don’t blame them for not being ill suited lol they got stolen from Africa
though some of the southerners did of course break those rules pretty famously, either for religious reasons converting and teaching them literacy, or of course the ones that fell in love with their slaves
If they wanted to they could have taught them to read, to be converted
which actualyl saucy as it is, was not that uncommon
To be contributing members of society
well no because that is pointless, they weren't supposed to be memebrs of society ever
Oops 🙃
There were some free blacks that’s not true
it's the argument of they should be here to begin with (anti-slavery) vs. well let me bring the blatts over here but i promise i will just make them slave caste (pro-slavery)
After their indentured servitude was up some led normal life’s before slavery
legally they couldn’t be bound
for a while the compromise was the pro slave people had their states the Old South and the pro-white states had the Old North, but then of course the South betray America because a Republican get elected and during the war the slaves are freed since the institution of slavery transfer over to the enemy regime which was soundly defeated
slavery is just so fucked to begin with
Like owning a human
indentured servitude has always ben around
but that's kinda different
Very different
it is a form of slavery i guess, but it's more transactional
ie: buy me a boat ticket to Murica and I serve you for 5 years
Got to live normal life’s
a common bargain for European immigrants
lives*
Slavery though, I couldn’t imagine being born into it I’d rather kill myself
i could imagine if i was born into it i could be okay with it
but going from being born free and noble, i couldn't bear it
the african slaves wasnt stolen from africa
Humans know they shouldn’t be bound at night and work and whipped
No matter if your born into it or not
they was bought and paid for and sold to europeans by other africans
well of coruse they weren't stolen, that's not slavery works
they were sold
W no consent
More like kidnapping sorry
no that's not true
Bow
How
one of the arguments to end slavery too, which NO ONE EVER MENTIONS
like most slaves in history, they were the captured people by other tribes or by the muslim empires
