Thank u frens for follows -now I try to lose some lol

I will post one I’ve been holding on to for a bit

This shouldn’t demoralize u -though civnats& wignats will not like it

Left will hate of course, as will most everyone-cuz we all harbor many fantasies
So let us speak the Truth that no side wants u to think about

Anglo-American slavery thread

14th c -in effort to keep wages low after Black Death, series of labor laws passed - forcing all under 60yo to work, limiting movement, limiting wages

Runaway workers were/
/branded with an F on their forehead (but u r told they weren’t slaves)

15th c -increasingly illegal to be poor or jobless

16th c - vagabonds act - poor/jobless could be tied to cart, stripped naked and whipped

Vagabonds forced into slavery, used as galley slaves
16th c (cont’d)
If offered work that was refused, “vagrants” could be branded with a V and pressed into 2yrs slavery

Runaways got lifelong slavery, a second capture meant death by hanging

Human trafficking begins in earnest with favorable laws
As time marches on there would ultimately be hundreds of thousands of whites shipped to America, under various types of ownership by other whites, from early 17th c to mid 18th c

Indians were often used as slave-catchers, returning escaped white servants to their wealthy masters
Even after American independence, Articles of Confederation kept the anti-poor laws in place

eg Art IV - “the free inhabitants of each of these states, PAUPERS, VAGABONDS and fugitives from Justice EXCEPTED, shall be entitled to all privileges and immunities of free citizens”
Now, how much of this were u ever taught?

Truth is the Puritan / Quaker / et al settlers were drenched in economic exploitation/ownership of their fellows - mostly other whites

Much of the true beef/
/early America had w/the Brits stemmed from the Crown’s growing efforts to regulate servitude in America

It may even be that more whites than Africans were brought here in forced servitude (only a small fraction of Afr slave trade was even brought to continental America)
Did u know Ben Franklin was enslaved to his older brother? They say it was “apprenticeship,” but in that era such was a contract for ownership. It was ILLEGAL for Ben to leave and he took beatings from his brother/master - is this not slavery?
Most of the muh John Locke stuff was propaganda & the best portions of the American spirit arose from blending culture with Indian warriors, including gun rights, freedom/frontier spirit et al

U will notice America took a VASTLY different trajectory than other English holdings
Also true that not too many escaped white servants that were adopted by Indians -who did not care about race- returned to the towns of Puritan/Quaker masters

Plantation America was about economics not race obsessions or “freedom”

There r instances of blacks owning whites!
This is all there for u to find IN PLAIN SIGHT - eg look up the articles of confederation to see for urself about freedom for all. Left, civnats, trucons, wignats, BLM - NONE of them want u to know this, for different reasons
There are many sources for this stuff - online, even mainstream ones like White Cargo book

But James LaFond has written many books on this- mostly primary sources with his comments interwoven
