Almanac—World and News—World History—1000–2001 (A.D.) World History
1500–1599 (A.D.) World History snip......... 1501 First black slaves in Americas brought to Spanish colony of Santo Domingo. 1719—The French bring the first black slaves into Mississippi and here's a pip....the first black slaves were traded for with Indian slaves from our war with them http://www.masslive.com/indepth/bhm/012799freedom1.html "The slave trade became entrenched here following the end of the Pequot War. This war nearly wiped the Pequot Indians out as a race and the handful who survived the massacre at their fort near the present town of Mystic, Conn., were sold into slavery in the Caribbean. Boats that brought them to the West Indies came back loaded with sugar and the first black slaves to " http://web.hist.uib.no/delfag-h98/bondevik/maintext.htm The developement of slavery "This remarkable increase in tobacco production demanded a a terrible price in human exploitation, first of white servants and later of black slaves."*4 The continued expansion of cash crops in the South was only possible by a growth of the labour force. At first they solved this problem by using white indentured servants. These were primarily Englishmen who agreed to work for the colonists for a certain number of years (usually 4-7 years), if the employer paid their fares to America. Tobacco growers imported thousands of these white servants, but it was not enough to feed the constant need for labor. This led to a steadily increasing import of African slaves. The first black slaves were imported to Virginia as early as in 1619 by Dutch merchants, but we know little of these. It is known though, that lifelong slavery existed in the Chesapeake region from the 1640s. After 1650, the black slaves got more attractive than indentured servants because they were less expensive. They could also be forced to perform simple and repetative tasks, working in teams under strict surveillance. The import and the reproduction among the black slaves resulted in a steady growth in the slave population. In 1807, a law against import of black slaves was introduced, but this had no serious impact on the size of the slavepopulation. The offspring of slaves became automatically slaves themselves. In 1715, black slaves comprised 24 percent of the population, up from less than 5 percent in 1671.*6 The slavepopulation in Virginia counted 490,865 in 1860 - 30.7% of the total population." It don't think the current black population of the entire country today is equal to the ratio during those times. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...lack+slaves%22 For more see above. This country was built on the nearly free labor of these and other enslaved peoples, mostly indians who died under the whips of overseers all too easily for the likes of the owners. What you enjoy today, every bit of it, has its foundation in their labors, for generation after generation. Next time you, bobb, pass a black man on the street and have your usual bigotted and often erroneous thoughts, bow your head in respect and apology for what you can never make up for. And they gave us: http://www.ehhs.cmich.edu/~rlandrum/general.htm And as you consider this consider also what it means when someone our care about or your sorry self lives because of the man that developed the blood plasma extraction and use techniques, or you don't get your sorry ass riding your tricycle run over by an SUV in an intersection because of the stop light invented by Morgan..the inventor of the Gas Mask as well.
