@Capitán Alatriste naw it is actually attributed as him.
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
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
Lol
it only adjusted to leniency later - people were poorer because there was less trade from towns, towns hadn't growth to the size they would by 1300
I think people overestimate the suck of feudalism
