That's the root cause of the nationwide fatigue we are all going through right now. Couldn't pay a fair wage 200 years ago, so now we gots Tamikas twerkin and raging at Wendy's and the NAACP(Ns) calling y'all racist for trying to do something about it. Big lack of foresight. Thanks baws.

The genesis of slaves in the United States was a nationwide issue, much of it was Northeastern slave traders and brokers. It was not a "southern" thing.

They are the same people today who say "no one wants to work anymore. Need more illegals and HB-1s. Gotta pump those GDP numbers up at all cost"

Seemed like a good idea at the time?

I have done more field work than 98% of blacks alive - tobacco, watermelons, and weed pulling in cotton and peanuts. It’s how I made my back to schools clothes money coming up in the 70s & 80s. Moreover, none of the ones alive today who have done field work were forced to. This whole reparations thing is utterly stupid especially when you take into account what they’ve gotten through affirmative action, welfare, DEI and such, and also what they’ve cost whites and others in interracial crime.

There is an early 18th century survey describing a family living in abject poverty in a hovel with no roof along a river in the Carolinas. When it rained or was cold, they had to take refuge in a haystack. By the surveyor's assessment, they were the poorest people he'd ever encountered. Those were my ancestors.

Same here.
In the 50's many kids staid out of school to pick cotton. Schools in North Louisiana were only scheduled for half a day so the kids could help pick cotton, for the first six week period. It wasn't a Black, White issue. It was a survival issue.
No EBT cards. If you ran out of food you killed a rabbit, squirrel, found Polk to eat as Greens.
We all had a garden, picked beans and peas and canned them in Mason glass. jars.

Gotta go way further back in time to get to the root of the issue. Today, history is being cherry-picked and exploited by Marxists to rile up the uneducated. Slavery is obviously bad, but humanity was just opening its eyes to that fact 200 years ago.
If America had failed to gain independence, I bet slavery would still be the norm worldwide.

On a side note, the death rate among indentured servants due to yellow fever and such was very high. Many died in the first year or two before they became "seasoned." West Africans had pre-existing immunities to yellow fever.
