Slavery

The History Channel is grilling up slavery mythology today.

They submit how slaves cost $1000 and planters routinely crippled them so they couldn't toil. Consider that thesis on its merits. A man spends $1000 (one million in modern money) and then ruins the investment with crippling physical abuse. Non sense. The slave must be fed, clothed, sheltered, and has no value for re-sale. This and the slave is prolly collateral for a loan.

Slaves were hanged for murder. Otherwise slaves were sold if their conduct was troublesome enough. My family owned sugar plantations south of Tampa, and that's where problem slaves went. If they escaped the Seminoles captured and enslaved them. So few ran off into the Everglades as life with the Seminoles wasn't a good career move. Plus plenty of blacks owned slaves, many free black women sold their children into slavery....plenty came South to sell their kids and return North with fat purses. The $500 sales price for a child was 4 years worth of income. So many black women pumped pups and made easy money.

Wow, that sucks.... how.many got compensation for their mothers misdeeds.

I felt slavery was wrong but some slaves came by means of being traded by African tribes for European and British goods.

So Americans paid for the injustice later, now we learn that once more some suffered slavery by their own kind.

You.don't see America giving any other race such great compensation for any valid reason.

Just venting on a subject that rankles my native blood.
 
The History Faggots just said LEE NEVER UNDERSTOOD LINCOLN OR THE WAR.

Back in the beginning Lee observed: ALL WE NEED DO IS CAPTURE WASHINGTON, ALL THEY NEED DO IS CAPTURE THE SOUTH.

Read THE BARBER OF NATCHEZ by William Johnson, an emancipated slave and planter. There are many other memoirs by slave-owning blacks that expose the reality of those times. The sale of black children was common.

In reality Lincoln used blacks to spare the lives of white soldiers when the butcher bill in Virginia became a scandal. Lee slaughtered more Union soldiers in the last year of the war than died from April 1861 thru April 1864....3 years. Blacks always fared poorly, mostly because they were untrained, badly led, and fulla stupid bravado.

At The Crater Battle at Petersburg VA Grant sent blacks against Lee's killers. The black troops filled the crater, carrying 'no quarter' black flags. Lee's men (above them and surrounding the hole) slaughtered these people where they stood.

From landed gentry to white trash is only 3 generations. Only in America.
