I have been saying for years we need to find the ancestors of those black slave owners and see if they will pay reparations.
Shhhh.
Lets see, the Africans were rounding up their enemies and selling them to slave traders of all races. Many of those coming to America arrived at northern ports yet the north doesn’t like hearing that part of history.
I said Portuguese because they were the first ones to explore along the coast of Africa.
That event began the Gold Coast slave trade of tribes that were more civil and had better living conditions the then European superpower, Portugal. If fact early explorers begged the Monarch to remain in there. There was no running water or sewage in Portugal at that time like the African villages had. After the slavers were done burning the villages, the jungle covered them over.
Of course there were other slavers elsewhere, but the US population of blacks came from the Gold Coast, which is the subject at hand.
“I said Portuguese because they were the first ones to explore along the coast of Africa.”
Correction again: I said Portuguese because they were the first Europeans to explore along the west coast of Africa.
The east coast of Africa was already familiar to folks in the Middle East.

Thank you for posting.
Oh for gods sake that bit about the muslims is fake history like most of their crap.
The Choctaws and Chickasaws sent representatives to the Confederate Congress. The last Confederate general officer to surrender was Stand Watie, a Cherokee, at Doaksville near Fort Towson in the Choctaw Nation.”
Do you have a date on that?
I’d wager that it was pretty late....seems that news of the end of the war traveled slowly?
Just curious...good post.
Indentured servitude is when a person volunteers to be a slave in return for food, shelter and care. The ancient Egyptians, the Romans and the Greeks practiced variation of this type along with captive slavery but even captives could rise in society.”
Yes. Quite correct.
And references to slavery, both implicit and explicit, in the New Testament need to consider that it is the Roman practice of indentured servitude that is being referenced, just exactly as you describe.
So many people think all slavery was the same and that Hollywood portrays the truth of the condition. I lament the fall of the US education system and quality to near moronic standards. Even people in the late 19th century were better educated the the average grad student today.
It’s kinda messed up we called them the civilized tribes.
RE: It’s kinda messed up we called them the civilized tribes.
Make me wonder what the UN-CIVILIZED tribes were like.

It was early in the war. I’ve had two separate courses in Oklahoma history and the involvement of The Five Civilized Tribes in the war is well known. They were Southern tribes and had heavily inter-married with Southern whites. Stand Watie held off for several reasons one being concern for the safety of his soldiers.

“The first legal slave owner in America was black and he owned white slaves. Anthony Johnson (BC 1600 – 1670) was an Angolan who achieved freedom in the early 17th century Colony of Virginia. Johnson was captured in his native Angola by an enemy tribe and sold to Arab (Muslim) slave traders.”
No later than the 1300s Mohammedans [now called muslims] raided the isolated coastal villages of the British Isles and Ireland along with the isolated villages located on the European coast and along the Mediterranean coast to kidnap villagers to take them back to the muslim countries to be sold as slaves. But according to the history the school children are taught, only Blacks were slaves and they were enslaved in America.
Good facts on slavery in America
Sounds interesting.
Could you give me a link for that?
There was running water and sewage in France in the middle ages, for the aristocracy.
No links - is from African History book from 1965 used in a college course - you could go looking in a library or on Amazon.
Never heard that France had indoor plumping including hot and cold water (like the Northern Gold Coast tribes) during the Dark Ages (400AD-1400AD) when bathing was a social no-no. Do you have a “link” for that statement - just curious.
Additional info:
the villages had aqueduct fed wooden pipes to each home which ran under the floor were they passed through blocks heated by small fires, some water went to wash basins or carins, but most was just circulated back to the village system - I think this came from Roman times, but not positive. Home sewage was also eliminated by a series of wooden pipes.
