Good article, actually. I remember it being posted back during Baltimore, before Holla Forums was overrun with reactionaries and reddit-tier copcucks
Kayden Sanders
Interesting, is there anything about ho it evolved during 20th century?
Sebastian Reyes
Other then that, good article so far.
Isaac Rogers
Maybe Our Enemies in Blue by Kristian Williams, but it's a whole book and I've not read it yet.
Alexander Ortiz
gentle bump
Dominic Johnson
are you to imply that the slaves voluntarily took the trip to the new world… to become slaves?
or is this Holla Forums bs about muh slavery?
David Perez
Not who your responding to, but I think he likely means that they were purchased by African monarchs, who largely got said slaves through conquest and tribal warfare.
Connor Miller
And then sold to Europeans and Arabs.
Ian Rivera
Not that user, but he may be referring to the fact that many, if not most, slaves taken from africa during that time period were in fact bought from locals who were keeping them in slavery in the first place, albeit in less severe circumstances that were often temporary.
