Uhmmm I can't say much about the text, but the image is most definetly wrong. That doesn't look like the fashion of the mid 17th Century at all... looks like some random image of a black person from the mid to late 1800s
Are you saying it's a photoshop?
i doubt that they could just take a random picture of a black guy and then just put it next to the text
it all must be fake
William (April) Ellison tho... he was the type of owner people imagine when thinking of white slave owners.
And he was a black freed slave who's owner actually treated him really well and even educated him.
oof
Nigs gonna nog
think of the screeching if you did bring that up at black history month
I bring it up every time people bitch about slavery in the us. "If it wasnt for a black man the US might have kept their indentured servitude model instead."
i always bring up the ottomans
the barbary pirates
the fact that blacks sold slaves to whites
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki the dress is wrong. Either that or the dates privided
the picture does not matter that much
like i said before
No it isnt. Not everyone dressed exactly the same everywhere.
👍
i was listening to podcast that said how medieval peasants being malnourished in childhood affected them psychosocially so that they acted less independent in later life
because of this, nobility thought of peasants as a different race
because they were factually psychologically different
and behaved in a way that was more dependent on others
just thought it was interesting
Seems interesting
But this ignores the social, religious and philosophical norms of the Era
That and environmental. Especially in the dark ages, but also standard middle ages. It was a fight for survival, so if someone promised protection that was one less thing the peasantry had to deal with.
well the era was 10th century ad
@Goblin_Slayer_Floki malnourishment is environment, no?
10th century wasn't all that known for its philosophy, mostly just being right at the end of the 'dark ages' for europe
beginning of feudalism basically
10th century was the best time to be alive
you had freedom
and clean air
and eight dead children by the time you reached middle age at 14
that is a small price to pay
for freedom
@desert hamster tenth century sucked, it was the beginning of feudalism, so feudalism was pretty bad - there was often too many obligations that the peasants paid their lord
Like people today don't have obligations
