The Enslavement of Whites in Early America and Industrial Britain and Ancillary Studies in American History Based on Michael A. Hoffman cancun mexico hotels II's landmark book: They Were White and They Were Slaves The Untold History of the Enslavement cancun mexico hotels of Whites in Early America "Being too short of stature to reach his work standing on the floor, he was placed on a block; but this expedient only remedied a part of the evil, for he was not able by any possible exertion to keep pace with the machinery. In vain the ...child declared it was not in his power to move quicker. He was beaten by the overlooker with great severity and cursed and reviled from morning 'till night, 'till his life became cancun mexico hotels a burthen to him and his body discoloured with bruises." A Memoir of Robert Blincoe, An Orphan Boy, Sent from the Workhouse at St. Pancras, London at 7 Years of Age to Endure cancun mexico hotels the Horrors of a Cotton Mill [Manchester: J. Doherty, 1832] "I'm weak and young and frightened oft, when the dark flue I see; by blows and threats cancun mexico hotels forced up aloft, where nobody loves me. My master beats me with a rope, a cruel master he: But I have neither friends nor hope; For nobody loves me. They loved the negro 'oer the wave, they strove to set him free; But though I am a little slave, there's nobody loves me. The Sweep Boys Lament, London, 1824 William Cobbbett in a letter to William Wilberforce: "You seem to have great affection for the negroes...I feel for the hard-pinched, the ill-treated, the beaten-down labouring classes of England, Scotland and Ireland, to whom you do all the mischief that it is in your power to do; because you describe their situation as good and because you do, in some degree at any rate, draw the public attention away from their sufferings."
cancun mexico hotels This review is from: They Were White and They Were Slaves: cancun mexico hotels The Untold History of the Enslavement of Whites in Early America (Paperback) As other reviewers have noted, this book is a barrage of facts that are a little rambling and disorganized, but this in NO WAY takes away from the interest of the subject matter that is presented in this volume.
Mr. Hoffman presents a rough outline of the history of the enslavement of whites in Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, the Carribean and finally in America from Roman times to the begining cancun mexico hotels of the 20th century. Documented are such details as:
-One of the most disturbing cancun mexico hotels events documented here: the use of "human brooms" as chimney sweeps in England during the 1800's. These might be able to claim the worst status. The orphans who had to climb up chimneys filled with toxic dirt and soot weren't even paid to do so, they were forced to do that work and then BEG for a living.
This book is well worth getting a hand on and reading, because it proves that slavery is a universal condition that has been practiced against all races and nations of people, even against those traditionally portrayed (i.e. Anglo Saxons/whites) as being the slavemasters and oppressors.
They were of two sorts, first such as were brought over by masters of ships to be sold as servants. Such as we call them my dear, says she, but they are more properly called slaves. Daniel Defoe, Moll Flanders
This is a history cancun mexico hotels of White people that has never been told in any coherent form, largely because most modern historians have, for reasons of politics or psychology, refused to recognize White slaves in early America as just that.
Today, not a tear is shed for the sufferings of millions of our own enslaved forefathers. 200 years of White slavery in America have been almost completely obliterated from the collective memory of the American people.
Who wants to be reminded that half perhaps as many as thirds of the original American colonists came here, not of their own free will, but kidnapped, shanghaied, impressed, duped, beguiled, and yes, in chains?... we tend to gloss over it... we d prefer to forget the whole sorry chapter... (Elaine Kendall, cancun mexico hotels Los Angeles Times, Sept. 1, 1985).
A correct understanding of the authentic history of the enslavement of Whites cancun mexico hotels in America could have profound consequences for the future of the races: We cannot be sure that the position of the earliest Africans differed markedly from that of the white indentured servants. The debate has considerable significance for the interpretation of race relations in American history (Eugene D. Genovese, Roll, Jordan Roll: The World the Slaves Made, p. 31).
Most of the books on White labor in early America are titled with words like White indentured servi-tude, White bondservants, White servants etc. It is interesting that White people who were bound to a condition of what became in many cases permanent chattel slavery unto death, are not referred to as slaves by Establishment academics.
With the massive concentration of educational and media resources on the negro experience of slavery the unspoken assumption has been that only Blacks have been enslaved to any degree or magnitude worthy of study or memorial. The historical record reveals that this is not the case, how-ever. White people have been sold as slaves for centuries.
Among the ancient Greeks, despite their tradition of democracy, cancun mexico hotels the enslavement of fellow Whites cancun mexico hotels even fellow Greeks was the order of the day. Aristotle considered White slaves as things. The Ro-mans also had no compunctions against enslaving Whites who they too termed a thing (res). In his agricultural writings, the first century B.C. Roman philosopher cancun mexico hotels Varro labeled White slaves as nothing more than tools that happened to have voices (instrumenti cancun mexico hotels vocale). Cato the Elder, discoursing on plantation management, proposed that White slaves when old or ill should be discarded along with worn-out farm implements.
Julius Caesar enslaved as many as one million Whites from Gaul, some of whom were sold to the slave dealers who followed his victorious legions (William D. Phillips, Jr., Slavery from Roman Times to the Early Transatlantic cancun mexico hotels Trade, p.18).
In A.D. 319 the Christian emperor of Rome, Constantine, ruled that if an owner whipped his White slave to death he should not stand in any criminal accusation if the slave dies; and all statutes of limi-tations and legal interpretations are hereby set aside.
The Romans enslaved cancun mexico hotels thousands of the early White inhabitants of Great Britain who were known as Angles, from which we derive the term Anglo-Saxon as a description of the English race. In the sixth century Pope Gregory the First witnessed blond-haired, blue-eyed English boys awaiting sale in a slave market in Rome. Inquiring of their origin, the Pope was told they were Angles. Gregory replied, Non Angli, sed Angeli ( Not Angles, but Angels ).
When the Franks conquered the Visigoths in southern Gaul huge numbers of Whites entered the slave markets. After Charlemagne s conquest of Saxony, during which many pagan Saxons were en-slaved, he set up a network cancun mexico hotels of parish churches. To provide for the maintenance of the priest and the church, those living in the parish were to donate a house and land as well as a male and female (Saxon) slave to the church for every 120 people in the parish (William Phillips. p. 52).
The trade in White slaves was one of the few sources of foreign exchange for western European powers in a period when the East produced the goods that Europeans could not procure elsewhere. The sale of White slaves to Asia and Africa was one of the few sources of gold for European treasur-ies.
At the same time that France was a transfer point for slaves to the Muslim world, Italy was occupy-ing much the same position... Venetians (were)... selling slaves and timber across the Mediterranean. The slaves were usually Slays brought across the Alps... The Venetians were the earliest successful Italian sea traders cancun mexico hotels and because profits on (slave) trade with the Muslims were lucrative, they resisted efforts to stop them. In return for their exports of timber, iron and (White) cancun mexico hotels slaves, they brought in orien-tal luxury products, mainly fine cloths... (William Phillips, pp. 62-63).
The stereotype from Establishment consensus history is of the Muslim cancun mexico hotels slaver cancun mexico hotels herding chained Blacks through the desert. In fact, for seven hundred years, until the fall of Muslim Spain, cancun mexico hotels those being herded were first and foremost overwhelmingly White:
Before the tenth century the Muslims generally bought Christian Europeans as slaves... By the tenth century, Slavs became the most numerous imported group... during the late Middle Ages, until the fall of Granada in the late fifteenth century, most slaves of the... Muslims were Christians from the northern kingdoms... (William Phillips, p. 69).
In the vast lands of the eastern European steppes from the eighth to the twelfth century, there was a well-developed slaving network... Slavs and Finns, called saqaliba (slaves) indiscriminately by the Muslims, entered the Muslim world by these Caspian and Black sea routes. (William Phillips, pp. 63-64).
The fate of the hundreds of thousands of White slaves sold to the Arabs was described in one Spanish text as atrocissima et ferocissima (most atrocious and harsh). The men were worked to death as galley slaves. The women, girls and boys were used as prostitutes.
White males had their genitals mutilated in castration attempts bloody procedures of incredible brutality which most of the White men who were forced to submit cancun mexico hotels did not survive, judging from the high prices White eunuchs commanded throughout the Middle Eastern slave markets.
Early Muslim texts provide insights into the extent to which the Arabs identified Europeans with slavery, classified White slaves as animals and even produced learned racist disquisitions on the supposed merits of emasculated East European slaves. In his ninth century treatise on beasts, The Book of Animals, the Muslim scholar Jahiz writes:
Another change which overcomes the eunuch: of two slaves of Slavic race, who are... twins, one castrated and the other not, the eunuch becomes more disposed toward service, wiser, more able, and apt for various prob
