I remember learning they did at first

and then when America proper was founded it was indeed conceived of as a white country, hence some of the argument to not even slavery to begin with since it obviously undermines that

But they kept escaping bc they knew the land

lol no the natives were expelled from the eastern seaboard famously by Andrew Jackson, the Trail of Tears

Before the trail of tears

I’m talking early on

it's because before America in the French and Indian War there was a loto f problems with them, and even after

technicalyl the Indian Wars are the longest series of wars in US History

It was fucked ngl

They’d give money for the scalps of natives like wtf

no there were still native tribes until trail of tears, but they had various alliances and agreements with the varying european powers and eachother

some tribes favored the french, some favored the english

some had old rivalries agaisnt one another

plus it is noted that the natives of north america were semitic featured, which would make them ideological not enslaveable

did u know they wouldn’t allow black people to practice Christianity

the blacks were seen as enslaveable because they are the sons of Ham, they were backwards a/f, tribal, and viewed as ill-suited to the higher functions of a civilization, especialyl a white civilization

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

They received land after their time was up for awhile

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*
