How ...straight from the NY Times, I add my 2 cents.<br />How did slaves make it to these coastal forts? The historians John Thornton and Linda Heywood of Boston University estimate that 90 percent of those shipped to the New World were enslaved by Africans and then sold to European traders. The sad truth is that without complex business partnerships between African elites and European traders and commercial agents, the slave trade to the New World would have been impossible, at least on the scale it occurred. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/04/23/opinion/23gates.html?_r=0<br /><br />We think this trade must go on. That is the verdict of our oracle and the priests. They say that your country, however great, can never stop a trade ordained by God himself." --King of Bonny (Niger delta)<br /><br />"The slave trade is the ruling principle of my people. It is the source and the glory of their wealth…the mother lulls the child to sleep with notes of triumph over an enemy reduced to slavery…" --King Gezo of Dahomey (Benin)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-84194604544733807302015-07-31T02:00:16.584-04:002015-07-31T02:00:16.584-04:00The whole point about stigmatizing the Confederate...The whole point about stigmatizing the Confederate flag is to shame Americans for their past, a shaming effort that has been underway for decades, tilling the soil for the complete repudiation by Americans of their roots, their history, their culture, their civilization, their laws, customs and beliefs.<br />All the better to prepare them for the annihilation of their identity and the acceptance of something *superior:* third-world invasion and the loss of the nation state.darcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10307513683255730919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-6287444535935335592015-07-18T09:45:26.014-04:002015-07-18T09:45:26.014-04:00DP111 writes..

Tribal chiefs soon found, that prisoners they took on raids could be sold for far greater profit then whatever they did with them originally. It could thus be argued, that the moral debasement of Africans was far greater then that of Arabs or Europeans.<br /><br />We could of course stop pointing fingers, and look at it in a different way. Slavery has existed since time immemorial. It was a facet of war - prisoners of war or raids, became slaves. The amount of traffic was proportional to the warring capacity of a tribe or empire - supply, and demand, ie was there an economy that required "smart" energy. <br /><br />Now the horse or bull is a source of "dumb" energy, but only a human is able to provide smart controllable energy. So prisoners of war were used as smart energy sources, instead of being killed. In Africa, there was never ever a demand for slaves, as there was never a sustainable and planned economy. So prisoners were brutally killed, till foreigners offered the tribal chiefs a better option. This turned out to be good not just for the economy, and the tribal African chiefs, but for prisoners who were spared death.<br /><br />If we look as slaves as smart smart energy that was reqiuired by advanced (of the day) civilisations, then there is nothing immoral about it. Slaves were simply employed rather then being killed. In Europe ( Rome and Greece, some of them got their freedom and even became wealthy).<br /><br />It is not a coincidence that Britain was the first to stop slavery, as it was where smart and controllable energy was invented. Once Britain had that, the use for the slave became redundent, and thus "immoral". Its not surprisng that Europe and America resisted such pressure, as they hadn't caught up with an industrial Britain, and saw Britain using the moral finger to subvert their economies.<br /> <br />It is rightfully claimed that Britain, and the Royal navy, which ruled the waves, were the prime reasons that slavery was ended. But I argue that it was the industrial revolution, ie the availability of huge amounts of controllable power, made the human slave redundent. Going further, it was the inventors and developers of steam power, that made an end of slavery. It is unfortunate but entirely predictable, that politicians claim success for the end of the slave trade, when in fact it was English/Scottish inventors/engineers who were responsible for it. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-6742736543906572832015-07-17T11:46:01.295-04:002015-07-17T11:46:01.295-04:00Bravo, Daniel!

Just a point that should be consider...Hi Daniel - <br /> Just a point that should be considered - <br />The abolition of slavery as perceived by todays liberals applies only to those who have values different from those of (western) civilization - but western civilization is prey to being enslaved - <br />and coerced into being the the ones required to help out all the other civilizations that are uncivilized. Hence slavery still exists - only now it is western civilization that is the slave . <br />Ironic that a country built on a deep respect for independence - and on the struggle of even freeing slaves - has now become the object of slavery .<br />At the same time the so called religion of peace and world domination that never <br />considered anything other than itself is now a partner in the judges of the world.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-78872065282886493202015-07-16T03:25:50.159-04:002015-07-16T03:25:50.159-04:00So, there is this:

Of the approximately 10 million african slaves sent to the new world less than half a million were sent to what we call the United States. People also forget that many europeans came to the new world as slaves. Our history books now call the "indentured servents" but the were slaves bought, sold, and disposed of like cattle.<br />For the left, it's not about slavery, it's about destroying western civilization and going back to being the "noble savage".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11368628.post-67741884125722002352015-07-14T22:31:04.613-04:002015-07-14T22:31:04.613-04:00I can see slavery returning.
