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

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
