I have a book Matt Bracken gave me years ago that was an autobiography of a deckhand who rose to captain and equity holder of his own slave trading ship which operated way beyond the 1807 British slave trading ban

It had remarkable insight into barracoon life...savagery

From this captains perspective it was paramount to keep the cargo alive

Naturally the book is not well received now and nor is Redikers work

It’s impossible to find empirical data on slave trade, our web is now firmly in the control of our enemies

Something we need to work on btw

I read the book and it’s in one of my scores of stacks but I have it...my oldest read it too...

Can’t recall title but its best I’ve seen on the subject

Progressives simply say it’s all a lie

Yaelle I’m glad you’ve read thiose...I’m going to follow that

But beware

I was at Oak Alley plantation in south Louisiana five years ago and their bookstore had several copies that were reprints of originals and I bought them

I then ordered some online and immediately could tell they were heavily edited to paint as ugly a picture possible....

Matt do you recall title ...my memory is that of an old man with a bum ticker sadly

I can remember thanksgiving 1966 but not what I did three days ago

See Kanye as an example of the tar pit slave trade subject is

I think it’s true that there is some ... blackwashing? ... at the plantation tours. I LOVE how intelligent the tour guides are and the wealth of interesting info on the sides of the owners, as well as now the slaves. But yes, they will be extremely careful not to offend the guests of all stripes.

I guess it’s good I read all those “truths about the civil war” books 20 years ago. Who knows how much of that stuff is being edited out of even the books I did read?

That book Matt gave you sounds interesting too. Slavery may be like rape and murder: here to stay as long as humanity exists. It’s still going on today; I read quite the account of a Somali slave girl finally freed in London recently.

Ironically, descendants of slaves might despise anyone white or southern, yet worship michael Jackson. It’s hard to say which is worse, being owned as property or having your young son anally raped by a perv.

If you have some free time and you go to read the narratives of the ex slaves, you can get lost in all that. I sure hope no one goes in and cleans them up.

A serious point that should be considered, because it puts in perspective just how sociopathic is the Left’s attempt to stir up hatred between the races today, is that the very evolution of the terminology of “slave” from “bondsman,” “fief” or what have you, reflects the enslavement of eastern European slavs, by other Whites.

Much of the thousands of years old process of seizing people for involuntary servitude, has involved people of the same race--both as slave & master.
