That was my first thought, too..... most Yankees don't even know there was such a thing! My favorite part about touring any plantation in the south is that you always hear about the good slave owners, especially this guy in South Carolina near Charleston who was a preacher. He was a good slave owner because he taught the slave children how to read the bible. Freaking unbelievable that the docents would try and push that crap off on those taking a tour. There were no "good" slave owners, anytime, anywhere. That should be "There are." Slavery is still practiced today in Africa, the Middle East and Asia and in parts of Eastern Europe. I am still trying to figure out why you, Harry, are not actively working towards the complete and total abolition of slavery world-wide? http://www.antislavery.org/english/s...y/default.aspx There's plenty of slavery in the United States...exploited adult workers, exploited child labor, mandatory unpaid overtime, et cetera. Given, there is real slavery abroad, but there is plenty of economic slavery right here in the good old USA. Your concern for your fellow man held in physical bondage is admirable. |

That was my first thought, too..... most Yankees don't even know there was such a thing! The Brits "outlawed" slavery more than 20 years before the U.S. civil war, and that included its territories, too. The blacks in Nova Scotia in the 19th century probably were descended from freed slaves from the American colonies and the early United States. A number of slaves were offered freedom by the Brits in exchange for their service in the military against the United States in the War of 1812, and were given land in Nova Scotia after that war. Slavery was almost dead in the US. About the same time as the Brits banned slavery. Was not economically viable. Major reason Britain banned it. But about the time slavery would of ended here, Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin. Made slavery economically viable. And only a minority of the people owned slaves. Even freed blacks owned slaves. Something like 26% of the NC households owned slaves. A bad thing, but it is a hell of a lot different than Harry's "Economic Slavery". |

Given, there is real slavery abroad, but there is plenty of economic slavery right here in the good old USA. Don't kid yourself. There's more than enough "real slavery" here. Every couple of years, someone here in New Jersey, is busted for slavery. Truck farm workers, domestic workers, and especially sex workers, all work, no pay, and no freedom of movement, that, in my book, is real slavery. I think there is a big difference between violent crime as you describe, and government or social sanctioned activity like what is happening around the world. Please Mr. Thunder, don't slide into the mold ![]() hve always been a fair poster here... Isn't it great when The Freak, our near functional illiterate, tells us what is and what is not...slavery. |
