And the Carib. They only freed them in England, not in any colonies. 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. They simply become slaves to the union and the union rules. A slug who should have been fired a decade ago will still make a lot more money than a young guy with superior skills and work ethic simply because the old guy has more time in the union. The big difference in "disposibility" is a non performing non union employee may be fired but he can go next door and try to get hired there. When the union prices themselves out of the labor market everyone gets fired, the factory moves and there is no next door to go to. You can walk around Flint Michigan to see that, just don't drink the water. |
