Slavery is a very interesting topic

You made a good point. Also what about the former British criminals sent to Australia and used as labor? People tend to forget about white slavery, or are just not interested in the truth.

Great article and pictures Slavery in all its forms is a very interesting but also a haunting and disturbing topic. Enlightening to know though how demeaningly people have been treated and for how trivial reasons.

[Oswald2001]

Slavery was a simple fact of life in almost all areas of the world at one time or another and in one form or another for almost all of history.

The Soviet Union was just one huge slave camp. So was Mao's China. The Japanese Empire treated the conquered people like slaves. And North Korea today.

Of course, the Moo Slums are all about keeping people captive through ignorance and violence.

Today, we are all economic slaves to some degree at least.

The average English peasant has no better a life than any black slave, ruled and owned by whomever owned the land he lived on. He had no rights to speak of and the landowner told him where and when he worked, or lived, married etc.

Children were taken when and where required, and forced into labour before they reached five years old.

Families were split up if required, wives separated from husbands at the whim of the church or landowners.

Forced labour was common, usually working 14 hours a day to build the huge abominations of churches and cathedrals that towered above the huts the peasants survived in through gruelling winters and hot disease filled summers.A totally barbaric and backwards millennia from a country that was supposedly strictly religious and worshipped some fake god.

While the American blacks of today wallow in self pity and carry a huge chip on their shoulder, the English slaves have moved on with life and made progress.

As indeed have the African slaves who were sent to Brazil and other countries in the Americas, have moved on and made a life for themselves, without the eternal 'stigma' that the 'African American' hangs on to so dearly.

slow bitch.....the reason he chose to remain a slave, is because that's all he had known...he was prob born into slavery...most slaves had to learn how to be free....ignorant ass
