Okay, so with all the BS secession shit going on, it makes me question the civil war, if all these rednecks, and so-called rebels believe the civil war was about states rights (which i can see, but what state rights were being provoked by the union? anti-slavery laws or what) how could the south, being Christians and followers of Jesus, justify using slaves the way they did to achieve proficient income.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 10873455 There were more white slaves in the US than there ever were African.... [ link to www.electricscotland.com] Alexander Stewart was herded off the Gildart in July of 1747, bound with chains. Stewart was pushed onto the auction block in Wecomica, St Mary’s County, Maryland. Doctor Stewart and his brother William were attending the auction, aware of Alexander being on that slave ship coming from Liverpool England. Doctor Stewart and William were residents of Annapolis and brothers to David of Ballachalun in Montieth, Scotland. The two brothers paid nine pound six shillings sterling to Mr. Benedict Callvert of Annapolis for the purchase of Alexander. He was a slave. Alexander tells of the other 88 Scots sold into slavery that day in “THE LYON IN MOURNING” pages 242-243. Jeremiah Howell was a lifetime-indentured servant by his uncle in Lewis County, Virginia in the early 1700’s. His son, Jeremiah, won his freedom by fighting in the Revolution. There were hundreds of thousands of Scots sold into slavery during Colonial America. White slavery to the American Colonies occurred as early as 1630 in Scotland. America risked going down the feudal path of serfdom back in Britain with the onset of indentureship and purchased labour which is why its ideals were set to paper. Slavery was pretty much done for at this state of the game....by 1860 farm machinery was already being mass produced for agriculture....it was the manufacturing facilities in the North that needed the labor and they were not about to give them free room and board like the slaves in the south got.
