I love the British, at least the educated ones. If I had to pick one place to live if it couldn't be the United States, it'd be there. That or Australia.
An excellent article, and I'm bookmarking it!
Still teaches and practices that non-Muslims can be enslaved.
To Mr. Banned Account:
Merry Christmas, troll!
It is very easy to see how Trades Unionism and Communism could have developed in England under these circumstances. And it is also easy to see how Southern Americans could act righteous and claim that fleeing blacks would face harder conditions in the North than they did on the Southern farm, or that blacks in slavery fared better than white Northern factory workers.
*BUMP*
Few realize and fewer will admit that the best thing that ever happened to human trafficking was the white man. After existing for centuries if not millenia in Africa and Asia, slavery was introduced to western Europe. A few scant centuries later it was outlawed, followed shortly after by the young United States. If it was up to the rest of the world instead of Great Britain and the US, slaves would be advertised on television.
PITY too.. for England for fall for slavery again in so complete a manner..
Socialism is indeed slavery by government..
And democracy is the disease from which it comes.. After such a hard and prolonged battle, its ironic to see England so completely slave ridden..
Socialism has spread almost unchecked to all of URP... too..
Even in the United States slavery is practiced with abandon..
Here in the U.S. most all of the MSM, MSP, and ALL of Academia, damn near most of Hollywood are pushing slavery again as the MORAL thing to do....
Socialism is absolutely and completely Slavery by government.. As the rise of U.S. Federal Governments internal power and the scope and breadth of it rises. The Slavery of the American people is insured and transfered to other countries, like China.. The Chinese already were slaves(always were) but their form of slavery was out dated.. Socialism (usually through democracy) in its purest sense is spread to enslave the world.. In the U.S. today merely mentioning the words socialism or communism (which is socialism) is frowned upon as impolite..
Slavery is NOT DEAD but is alive in its most virulent form, Socialism.. And is spreading to every corner of the earth.. Canada, Australia, all URPeans country's are already SLAVE markets.. The rest of the world with archaic slaveing systems are slowing being UPGRADED to socialism though DEMOCRACY... The next time you hear the word democracy be advised, democracy is the social disease that socialism COME FROM... Socialism is slavery by government through Mob rule(democracy).. voted in by the Slaves themselves...
NO I'm not kidding, its true.. Humans don't seem to be too smart.. Caution: be careful when around a human.. listen very carefully to all the say. They have a slave mentality..
Sorry, but many Christian abolitionists also opposed child labor in sweat shops. The evangelical movement, in 19th century America at least, had many who held both anti-slavery and anti-child labor views.
On the topic of slavery itself, yes, slavery was a nearly universal phenomenon in the mid-1700's. It was a segment of the European Christian community that first began to realize that chattel slavery was inconsistent with the love of God in Jesus for all humankind.
Defending slavery in 1704 is understandable. Defending it in 2004 is damnable.
And, yes, other societies had slave practices that were as bad or worse than those of the Europeans. So what! Can't those who love freedom and the Declaration's claim that "all men are created equal and endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights" simply say that our ancestors, God love them, were wrong. They were wrong to hold men in slavery and, when slavery ended, they were wrong to make laws that enforced legal segregation based on race.

I don't quite understand this date. Consider:
1619: First record of Blacks in North America when 20 Africans arrive at Jamestown, Virginia, a British colony. (They apparently were treated about the same as White apprentices were.)
1641: Another British colony, Massachusettes, becomes the first colony to authorize slavery by statute.
