@raccoon This is not the answer you want, I know, but in his autobiography, used the term "master", despite being a dedicated abolitionist. I'm not sure there's a better word that would have been used historically.

This NYT article about the long-debated origins of the term "Underground Railroad" is a good example of how digitization of old newspapers is reshaping our understanding of the 19th century. An online search led to this discovery. tinyurl.com/4ezr27m6

UN releases report on: Slavery, Canadian-style.

Migrant workers, their employment tied to one employer, are subject to multiple vectors of abuse.

Agricultural workers, home care workers, and more.
Out of sight, out of mind.


Oftentimes, these [inspections] are pre-announced so so that means employers know exactly when they are coming in so what often happens then is that they ask workers to clean the workplace and living their accommodations so they looks perfect and sometimes these workers are sent away so that they do not complain to the labor in specs right so l've heard this this from so many workers so the reality is different from what the government is claiming.

I have not given it much thought, but he has a solid point.

Never done the math, lets do it:

10000000 slaves
359 years of slavery
500 slave capacity per ship

How often would a slave ship have to leave Africa?

Answer every 6.25 days for 359 years. Is this possible? Based on the figures above, is my math correct?

Note: I have used conservative figures. This calculation is for departure from Africa.

Today in Labor History September 9, 1739: Stono Rebellion, the largest slave uprising in Britain's mainland North American colonies prior to the American Revolution, erupted near Charleston, South Carolina. A literate Congolese former soldier named Jemmy led the revolt of 60 enslaved people. They killed over 20 white colonists, on their march to Spanish Florida, where freedom had been promised to those fleeing slavery in the British colonies. Over 30 rebels died in battle. Over 20 more were executed in the aftermath.

My history of the is a little sketchy. But, during the 1600s many "Britain folk" who called themselves Christians migrated to what was to be called (land of the free)

They developed a slavery economy.

Now, the USA still identifies as a Christian country (though perhaps that's not representative of a majority?)

I have read the New Testament of the Bible.

My question is, what part of the teachings of Jesus advocated slavery? 🤔
