New audiobook: Anti-slavery in America (1619-1808)
PGA Weblog ^

Posted on 09/12/2021 10:51:37 AM PDT by ProgressingAmerica

It's been a very exciting week around here. The big ticket item is that I launched a new audiobook titled Anti-slavery in America from the Introduction of African Slaves to the Prohibition of the Slave Trade (1619-1808), and this time I started the work as a group project.

I see it fairly often where people express the sentiment "what more can I do?" and if that is you I would like to work with you on this. Look at the title of the book, you know exactly why I chose it.

Normally I don't mention audiobooks of mine until I have completed them but over the years I have learned more about my capabilities as a producer of free open source conservative audiobooks, I can work on more than one book at a time when I have additional works which are group collaborative efforts. Here is the book:

Anti-slavery in America from the Introduction of African Slaves to the Prohibition of the Slave Trade (1619-1808), by Mary Stoughton Locke

The timing is really good, I just completed my last solo recording(Still editing down the last chapter for final release though) and I know that this is the kind of thing that can have a positive impact on our culture.

In an age where we are surrounded by deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary act. Despite the fact that this audiobook will not carry any price tag it's value will be quite obvious. Again, just looking at the title tells the story. If you would like to work with me on this, let me know.

My favorite thing about working with public domain content is that Big Tech cannot censor me. Tens of thousands of people will be reached with my message.

So let get something clear

Is the issue Slavery

Or Race

Because slave and Slavery came in all colors
There were white slaves

And Slavery was worldwide for thousands of years

Indeed, and the slavery trade was in the Caribbean long before the supposedly unique 1619 date subscribed for africans only, in the US Jamestown colony. Before 1619 the majority of non-owner colonists were indentured servants who had no rights at all and could and did have their contracts extended by the owners. This form of slavery had devastating effect on the people (even little children without parents) cleaned off the streets of London.

It well preceded the african trade in which tribal chiefs sold their conquered enemies and undesirable in their own tribe to Arab traders as middlemen to the later slave ships. The african trade went first to places in S. America and was conducted by Portugese and Spanish- again many years before Jamestown. Irish were sentenced to “transport” to the colonies (See: Oglethorpe in GA) and to the sugar cane islands (Barbados and others) to cut cane in 110 degree heat and tropical sun that killed them by burning. They never were intended to survive as part of their sentence, and many were cleared off their tenant land in Ireland to die in the Caribbean.

The issue really is neither in that context as presented - both are merely useful items for progressives to achieve their purpose.

The issue is that progressives have been erasing American history for more than a century and now have a free hand to remake it any way they want now that all of it is pretty much gone.

Audiobooks such as these would be particularly useful tools in the hands of homeschoolers, which is pretty much the only place left where there is a chance of any kind that American greatness will be taught.

These tools don’t yet exist though. Ok, so let’s build them.

Interesting, I wish you the best, because luck doesn’t have anything to do with it.

I once tried to discuss the very idea that there were black and white indentured servants.
“ In 1619 the first black Africans came to Virginia. With no slave laws in place, they were initially treated as indentured servants, and given the same opportunities for freedom dues as whites”. Notes from John Rolfe
I was called a liar. The Truth doesn’t serve their purpose.

Reading David Brion Davis’s “Inhuman Bondage,” mostly a rehash of his “Problem of Slavery . . .” series so far.

It isn’t recorded yet.

Most of the book is still unclaimed. I started my sections recently but its still ongoing.
