The Rise Of Race-Based Slavery
The system of basing slavery on a person’s race did not occur in the first years of settlement.
Race-based slavery began in the mid-1600s. By the 1660s, slavery was reserved for Africans only.

The Government AND its Newly Arrived citizens ((collectively)) decided to deny Africans, both, liberty and property - for 250 years.
And, that is the legacy of #RacialSlavery.

250 years of (race-based) slavery, 90 years of Jim Crow, 60 years of Seperate but Equal -- the byproduct of just a few dudes on a block?
Total nonsense.

If Burkean conservatism is a response to the French Revolution, then African conservatism is also a response. It emerges out of, and in response to the shock of both Colonialism and The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade — the largest forced migration in history.

The LARGEST, long-distance, coerced migration in human history — The Atlantic slave trade is the backdrop, for the dissimilar attitudes, values, unique differences, between, Anglo conservatism, and what is referred to as African or "black conservatism".
Why #RacialSlavery should not be equated with #humantrafficking
"Colonial powers who have been slow in recognizing colonial slavery, refusing to apologize out of fear of compensation claims, are now at the forefront of fighting ‘modern slavery."

"... without sufficient recognition and awareness of what colonial slavery was about and how it has been different from modern forms of enslavement, these correlations can do more damage than good. It takes away recognition of the particular damage and trauma
... inflicted on the victims of colonial slavery, damage that has transcended in future generations (intergenerational trauma)."
Without Slavery, Would The U.S. Be The Leading Economic Power? wbur.fm/1F0eMZj

"During the middle of the 1800s, cotton became the world's largest commodity. The cheapest and best cotton came from the southern United States."
"Edward Baptist argues in his new book,"The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism," that the forced migration and subsequent harsh treatment of slaves in the cotton fields was integral to establishing the United States as a world economic power."
If students can discuss The Holocaust, (other things) without much trouble, why can't they engage the (direct and INDIRECT) dissimilar impact of the largest forced oceanic migration in human history --- The Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade?

... their superior status and economic position, the planters shifted their strategy for maintaining dominance. They abandoned their heavy reliance on indentured servants in favor of the importation of more black slaves.
