What are facts about US slavery?
In Africa yesterday, only about 10 - 12% of all Southern folk could even afford a slave. In the north U.S. Grant refused to free his slaves until it was made illegal by constitutional amendment. In one state in America (sorry, I cannot remember which!), slavery was allowed because the punctuation in the Law was wrong - it said that to hold someone against their will 'except for punishment and slavery' was illegal - it should have said 'except for punishment, and slavery'! Liberia was formed by the arrival of the black American settlers - the Americo-Liberians, as they came to be known, to Africa - who established a colony of "free men of color" on its shore in 1822 under the auspices of the American Colonization Society. New York was also, paradoxically, the capital of American slavery. For most of its history, New York has been the largest, most diverse, and most economically ambitious city in the nation. No place on earth has welcomed human enterprise more warmly. New York was also, paradoxically, the capital of American slavery for more than two centuries. In October, 2005, The New-York Historical Society begins an unprecedented two-year exploration of this largely unknown chapter of the city's story. http://www.slaveryinnewyork.org/ In late August of 1619 a Dutch ship brought twenty Africans to the recently established colony of Jamestown.
