Earlier Myth Forgotten: Native American Slaves Exported

Rating: 5.0


cultivation of sugarcane in the West Indies
increased labour slave demand on sugar islands
1670 to 1715 24,000 to 51,000 Native Americans
captive slaves exported were through Carolina ports

over half 15,000-30,000
originated purchased brought
from then-Spanish Florida
more Native Americans slaves

were imported to the Carolinas
during this period than Africans
the trade in chattel Indian slaves
dominated the English empire's

development in the American South
enslaved dehumanized Native Americans
were exported from South Carolina
to Virginia, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts

Rhode Island and New York sold slaves
Dutch slaves had New Amsterdam built
a ratio 16 slaves for every free citizen
misery fortunes built sold in slave lives

Slavery! ! ! For the aristocratic life! ! ! To bring Heaven to the superpower peoples! ! ! Actually we everyone slave! but not for others for own-self! It's a right time to awake ourselves to awake conscience to be true human we need to cut the subtle race thread of slavery!
