Make that pretty much all the slaves. 18 years after we kicked the
British out the congress passed a low barring any more importation of
slaves. Most were already here before 1776, brought here on British
ships.


Portugal, England, Spain, France, the Netherlands, among other European
nations, engaged in bringing slaves to the "New World." The Portuguese
were the largest slave traders.

Slaves were brought here throughout much of the 19th Century.

There are estimates that twelve to fifteen million Africans were brought
over as slaves, but many died in the transit. Their survivors lived in
slavery in this country beyond the Civil War, even though they were
emancipated. There are ways to enslave people without calling them slaves.




Union members?


Since union members typically earn a higher hourly wage and receive
better benefits than non-union members performing identical jobs, and
since union members have a contract and union officials to file and
pursue grievances on their behalf, one might fairly conclude that
non-union members are the wage slaves. Non-union workers are, for the
most part, easily disposable...just like slaves. You, of course, never
had the skills to perform a skilled union job.
