Egypt maybe.....They were never in De'Nile about it......you never had to slave up forlong to buy one either ...
In the huge slave HyperMarkets out there ,they even had buy one get one free deals ......it was a huge con....as everyone that took up the offer went home without their slave Rosie... :(
I just asked a question about Anthony Johnson. I was hugely surprised to learn that blacks had slaves. I mean it seems grotesque to me that such a thing should be. Truth is stranger than fiction my friend. And also a lot uglier. Thank you for your reply D. Every doofylucy supporter lives in the state of DeNile and are drowning because they can't swim. They are doofy too! :)
Probably one of the reasons that chattel slavery has been referred to as the "peculiar institution" is because of such scenarios, one of which you describe. One must bear in mind too, that all persons of color were not in bondage. Near my own hometown, there was a community of free African Americans existing in close proximity to slavery. One of the churches from that village is still open and in service today.
I asked a question about Anthony Johnson earlier today(1610-1670). He was an indentured servant from Angola who, after he worked off his debt, became a wealthy person by growing and selling tobacco who owned property and also owned slaves. It just strikes me as so odd that a black person would own a slave of any color. Perhaps if the mood strikes you you could read it and reply to it? I just get really confused about it. How can someone who suffered through something do it to others? Now I realize being an indentured servant was done willingly and being a slave was against their will but still. Thank you for your reply and Happy Monday to thee ub! :)
The English have been using English white slaves for centuries well before ocean going ships were constructed Rosie...The English upper crust treated slaves and the poor abysmally...
Slavery goes back a real long way D and when I did a little investigating about its origin it shocked me. I just equated slavery with US whites and Abraham Lincoln and the Civil War. It wasn't just Americans. It was everyone everywhere at one time or another. I wonder who the first SLAVE was? Which century? Was it B.C. or A.D.? Why humans want to enslave other humans is beyond my ability to comprehend. I'm gonna ask.Thank you for your reply and Happy Tuesday to thee! ;) ((hugs))
Maybe the Chinese .They had slaves that they castrated called Eunuchs during the Qin Dynasty...and before the Terracotta Army was made and Buried Lazy people like and want slaves Rosie....
OMG D! I'm lazy and I sure a he** don't want no slaves! It's gotta be more than that. The folks who like slaves must have a need to control/feel superior/feel powerful. I have none of that in me. But I guess enough folks do that their perversities have shaped our societies from the get-go. Sad to know. SIGH. Thank you for your reply! :)
In short, no, there is no nation that has never had slavery. In almost every civilization, captured prisoners from battles or raids were almost always forced to work as laborers or servants within the enemy society and had very few rights or liberties. There is no recorded case of any region in the world that has not had slaves, as it is an almost universal trait in most early civilizations.
I'm gonna ask why that is m2c. Why do humans want to enslave other humans? I understand when you want to have housekeepers or cooks or gardeners or nannies. Those are honorable professions and some folks are drawn to it and are very good at it. But that is always by choice and the person can leave at any time. Why do people want to OWN other people? T'is a puzzlement. Thank you for your reply! :)
Prosperous and successful to an extent. The American South produced more than two thirds of the cotton used globally. Their commitment to one labor intensive commodity in lieu of any effort at industrialization, would prove disastrous later on when war came. Apart from measuring financial success, applying subjective moral judgments on the past based on 21st Century sensibilities and ideals has its own pitfalls. Until the American Civil War and emancipation, chattel slavery was an accepted and protected institution under the laws and judiciary of the US.Certainly, the textile mills of the northeast were able to turn a blind eye to where and how the cotton was produced for the profits that were made. The current effort to revise or rewrite the historic record of this nation is one of the problems you get into by trying to regulate the cause and effect of events that constitutes any portion of history. Hindsight is always the safest place to be looking from when handing down judgments on what was or what could have been.
Slavery has always existed Rosie ..Africa and the Arabs still have them....it was a thing of the time and yes I knew that blacks had slaves...money rule nearly everyone I'm afraid......The English Royals used the poor whites for century's ....all Royal and merchant ship owners did the same.....Men in pubs near docks were press ganged into service,death was punishment if you ever refused...
Scotish ,English, Welsh and Irish slaves were treated far harsher then the black.....only indigenous Red Indian slaves from the West Indies and Chinese slaves were treated worse then the whites..... Black slaves were far to valuable to be miss treated..... No one ever mentions the plight of white slaves that were sent to America ans Australia.....
The last slaves sent to Australia was very young childred taken from their parents in England in the late 1950's early sixties....both girls and boys were sexually abused for years by religious monks and other perverts they were given to..... It was the English government that arranged and sanctioned it.... it's OK though...they appogise to the children last year...They are all better now
They were more prosperous because basically a slave was a commodity and the more commodities a Country has the better it will do. Courtiers that had slaves were also more civilized because in that Country there were people that knew human beings weren't commodities - freedom for all is the corner stone of a civilized Country and it's priceless. Cheers!
Nice Jugs
