Indentured White Servants Were Treated Worse than Black Slaves in the West Indies

[King Billy]

Slavery wasn't considered abuse by most people in the world, especially amongst Africans and Arabs.

You think African slaves volunteered their services?

How is his remotely relevant to slavery which was 'abolished' over a century ago?

 

[Elsa TLC]

On my travels of the good honest decent people I met where German and Japanese.

I will never be full of hatred towards them.

History is History.​

I would like to contrate on the slaves of today.

Slavery has never been abolished​

Lets go after the slave trader of today, let the money be used rescuing and benifit those still kicking and need help now.

He did explain this.

Nonsense.

 

[Highway Man]

He didn't 'have slavery abolished', but he was a leading campaigner for it to abolished.
His campaigning resulted in the abolition of slaves being bought or sold throughout the British colonies. It didn't free those already enslaved.
He had a Damascene conversion and an almost total reversal of his previous beliefs. Although he continued to support social reforms internationally, his support for domestic political and regressive legislation continued.
He only became a leading campaigner for the abolition of slavery after being in contact with other abolitionists who persuaded him to take a leading role.


What!!
11 million of them transported across thousands of miles of ocean in such shocking conditions that 1.5 million never survived?

Wishful thinking on your part?

Yes he had it abolished

 

[Elsa TLC]

Nonsense.

He's most probably right! Those days the world was far less civilised.
There will still be people who consider it non abuse right now.

 

[Highway Man]

If people thought that it was abuse then there would have been no slavery. It was a status. symbol to have black slaves and people envied those that had them. The slave trade was inhuman by todays standards but at the time it was going on then it was considered normal.

 

[Highway Man]

There is a pub in Hull still today called Ye old black boy. It has two statues of little black child slaves at the doors, it used to have black gargoil style heads of slaves on the facias of the pub. Nobody ever felt offended or that it was wrong in any way, that is in these times so it is still accepted by people.

And so did colonising land around the world.
Some religions back then even stoned women for not wearing the right clothes or killing you own daughter was seen as honour.
Can you imagine that now?

Does it depict the young lad as a bad person?

Quite the opposit, people were very fond of the statue, he was in a very smart uniform and looked happy and well fed.

Slightly related. Was there a pub called the King Billy in Hull with a statue in the middle of the road outside.

 

[King Billy]

He did explain this.

He did? All I saw was the link to the article.
There was no explanation from Spine as to the relevance to the topic of the thread.
Would you like to explain on his behalf?
