The Atlantic Slave Trade

Where the Landing of the First Africans in English North America Really Fits in the History of Slavery

It was in 1619, "about the latter end of August," that an English privateer ship reached Point Comfort on the Virginia peninsula—and changed history

excerpt:


For example, as historian Henry Louis Gates Jr. has pointed out, Juan Garrido became the first documented black person to arrive in what would become the U.S. when he accompanied Juan Ponce de León in search of the Fountain of Youth in 1513, and they ended up in present-day Florida, around St. Augustine.

Nor is it the case that those who arrived in 1619 were the first enslaved people in what would become the United States. In 1565, for example, the Spanish brought enslaved Africans to present-day St. Augustine, Fla., the first European settlement in what’s now the continental U.S. In 1526, a Spanish expedition to present-day South Carolina was thwarted when the enslaved Africans aboard resisted.

The fact that the US actually got such a small number of those slaves, and there never were any world-reknown and historical black Brazilian inventors, innovators, scientists, authors, politicians, or other heroes, speaks volumes about this country

12.5 million Africans were shipped to the New World during the Atlantic Slave Trade, only 10.7 million of whom survived the Middle Passage. Fewer than 388,000 of them arrived in the United States. The majority of those who survived the harrowing Atlantic crossing ended up in Brazil (4.9 million). The story of slavery in Brazil is worth studying to understand the brutality of the practice. Slaves in Brazil suffered a terrifyingly high mortality rate due to conditions and treatment. Brazil did not abolish slavery until 1888.

But they got to do all the cocaine they wanted, that's probably what killed most of them.

.... Facts are that blacks slaves were treated better than white indentured servants.....

That is not a "fact," it is a guilt-driven excuse with no actual basis in reality.

Fact: Blacks descended from slaves are better off in the US than in shit-hole ridden Africa.

I've never shot myself in the head either, but I know I shouldn't, because that would be awful.

All these slave stories are sad and enlightening. I wonder why people don't look at the caravans coming to the US as the slaves they are. Cheap labor and cheap votes are all these people represent to neocons and Democrats. Sympathy and compassion have nothing to do with it.

Illegals can't vote.. They aren't US citizens.

Hahahahahahahahahahaha...wait......hahahahahahaha

There was an African slave on that ship who would be named Anthony Johnson he went on the become a wealthy slave/plantation owner.


Anthony Johnson (b. c. 1600 – d. 1670) was a black Angolan known for achieving wealth in the early 17th-century Colony of Virginia. He was one of the first African American property owners and had his right to legally own a slave recognized by the Virginia courts. Held as an indentured servant in 1621, he earned his freedom after several years, and was granted land by the colony.[1]

He later became a successful tobacco farmer in Maryland. He attained great wealth after completing his term as an indentured servant, and has been referred to as "'the black patriarch' of the first community of Negro property owners in America".[1]

.... spanairds [sic] were quit [sic] brutal to everyone. The worst by far. .....

A reputation that was promulgated by the British and French of the day, so take it with a grain of salt.

They are on some sort of mission to clean up slavery and make like it wasn't so bad. No guts to face our history.

In addition, Indigenous people — notably those of the 30-odd tribal communities led by Pocahontas’s father Powhatan — lived in the area that became Virginia long before Europeans or Africans got there.

The English settlers enslaved indigenous people around the time of 1619, and some colonists later owned both American Indian and African slaves, says Ashley Atkins Spivey, an anthropologist and member of Pamunkey, the Powhatan chief’s tribe.

All these slave stories are sad and enlightening. I wonder why people don't look at the caravans coming to the US as the slaves they are. Cheap labor and cheap votes are all these people represent to neocons and Democrats. Sympathy and compassion have nothing to do with it.

Illegals can't vote.. They aren't US citizens.

Does voting machines recognize their illegal

Not true many states auto register people to vote when they get a Drivers license, and many states give licenses to illegals.


California’s rollout of automatic voter registration didn’t go as planned.

It seemed like a good idea: Cut the bureaucracy by adding voters automatically and welcome more residents to political participation. Since April 2018, when California residents go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to register a car or get a license, they are added to the state voter rolls — unless they opt out.

But DMV officials later found more than 100,000 registration errors in the first year, including some voters registered to the wrong party. And at least one noncitizen (state officials still are investigating how many in total) was accidentally signed up — a significant error since noncitizens aren’t allowed to vote.

Across the country, proponents of automatic voter registration often laud its ability to dramatically increase a state’s voter rolls, bringing more people into the political process. Since Oregon became the first state to pass automatic voter registration in 2015, 17 other states and the District of Columbia have followed with their own version of the policy, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures.

It also means pumpkin, that the slaves were not as horrible abused as the race baiters would have the world believe. Facts are that blacks slaves were treated better than white indentured servants, and the increase in the numbers of the slaves not even including all that were set free shows it. Seems blacks survival rates in america as slaves was higher that being black in africa.

And look at how ungrateful their descendents were, demanding civil rights and all that shit. The bastards.
