Well done Informative article. Thank you. Your article focuses on U.S. reductionist history, so my comment here is ancillary, BUT: seldom mentioned in terms of "slavery" is European feudalism. From roughly 900 AD - 1500 AD, feudalism varied in practice from relatively reasonable to unimaginably cruel as in Poland. Polish history describes peasant families living generationally in dirt-floor shacks without windows for more than 400 years sans any improvement in living conditions. Required without notice to offer their lives on the battlefield to protect their noble landowners, survival meant an uncompensated return to feudal peasantry, possibly as a now disabled warrior even less able to provide a decent life for family. A peasant caught taking a noble's rabbit for Christmas dinner could be subjected to crippling punishment or even death. Rarely is this plight of "white slavery" acknowledged. Just sayin'. Thanks again for a wonderful article.
That was a thorough and excellent explanation about past and present slavery Frederick. Regarding the Irish, they built the Erie canal, got sick, died and were replaced by more Irish instead of slaves because "slaves cost money", the Irish were free and plentiful. The same with the Chinese rail workers.
Fantastic post! Thank you so much. I don't know if you've seen them, but Larry Elder's documentaries, Uncle Tom and Uncle Tom 2, are invaluable at conveying the truth, which has been buried for generations.
They're less about slavery and more about "Uncle Sam's Plantation," as Star Parker called it in her book of the same name. They do a fantastic job of portaying the huge deception the left has spun for so many decades about racism in America. The second one is particularly relevant to what we're living through right now.

Bruce - thanks for the insightful comment. Indeed, there is a whole more to the story. Perhaps a part 2 someday.
Brilliant piece! I bet 99% of Americans don't know these things! Well done!

"American Indians owned enslaved Black people."
The Indians also enslaved captives from other tribes.
Most of the first slaves in the US were whites:

"The Jones Plantation" is a movie all in the world MUST WATCH at this time.
VITAL TO UNDERSTAND SLAVERY AT ALL LEVELS.

The only part I want to know is the part where they ask the slaves themselves "What do you want besides freedom?"

Top of the evening Bianca. Thanks for the kudos, and I need to check out those documentaries!

Good evening to you too! : )
Excellent! The left gives the impression that slavery only began in America, no doubt to undermine us.
