Best Answer

they saw them as far superior to black slaves, as back then they were mere pieces of property that they used to profit unfairly off of. The many years of slavery developed even more of a sense of superiority, even after they were freed.

What specific room did slaves live in there owners house?

There is not single answer to this as it varied by owner. Usually slaves lived in separate houses/dwellings. Wealthy owners often built houses equivalent to poor whites. Slaves of less affluent owners lived in shacks equivalent to those that housed farm animals. Some owners allowed slaves to live in the attic of their homes. There were other arrangements. See related link below for the living arrangements of George Washington's slaves when he was president.


Why was the route taken by escaping slaves called the under ground railroad?

i think it might be so the public dident see them cause they might of not known or they could of been revulting for the people to see and they dident want to see them or the owner could be keeping them illegaly Well... First of all the Underground Railroad was not underground or a railroad. Slaves gave it that name to trick the whites. Slave traveled through the "Underground Railroad" because they wanted to escape slaery without being caught. Some slaves were caught, but there were thousands that weren't.


Why did slavery in Africa begin in America?

Up to one-half of all the arrivals in the American colonies were Whites slaves and they were America's first slaves. These Whites were slaves for life, long before Blacks ever were. This slavery was even hereditary. White children born to White slaves were enslaved too. Whites were auctioned on the block with children sold and separated from their parents and wives sold and separated from their husbands. Free Black property owners strutted the streets of northern and southern American cities while White slaves were worked to death in the sugar mills of Barbados and Jamaica and the plantations of Virginia. The Establishment has created the misnomer of "indentured servitude" to explain away and minimize the fact of White slavery. But bound Whites in early America called themselves slaves. Nine-tenths of the White slavery in America was conducted without indentures of any kind but according to the so-called "custom of the country," as it was known, which was lifetime slavery administered by the White slave merchants themselves. In George Sandys laws for Virginia, Whites were enslaved "forever." The service of Whites bound to Berkeley's Hundred was deemed "perpetual." These accounts have been policed out of the much touted "standard reference works" such as Abbott Emerson Smith's laughable whitewash, Colonists in Bondage. Why did the Blacks become slaves in America? Why did the Irish or anyone become slaves in America? Today much of what we see on "Turner Television" and Pat Robertson's misnamed "Family Channel," are TV films depicting Blacks in chains, Blacks being whipped, Blacks oppressed. Nowhere can we find a cinematic chronicle of the Whites who were beaten and killed in White slavery. Four-fifths of the White slaves sent to Britain's sugar colonies in the West Indies did not survive their first year. Those academics who insist that slavery is an exclusively Black racial condition forget or deliberately omit the fact that the word slave originally was a reference to Whites of East European origin - "Slavs." White children throughout America were hard at work in miserable factories and mines as late as 1920. Because of the rank prostitution, stupidity and cowardice of America's teachers and the Common Core educational system, Americas youth are taught that Black slaves, Mexican peons and Chinese coolies built this country while the vast majority of the Whites lorded it over them with a lash in one hand and a mint julep in the other. There will only be racial peace when knowledge of radical historical truths are widespread and both sides negotiate from positions of strength and not from fantasies of White working class guilt and the uniqueness of Black suffering.
