@elamite66 really? wonder why free blackmen owned slaves? so what your mad that the largest slave owners in most southern states were black? what about the black soldiers the south had? were they fighting for slavery? and lets not get started on the kkk they are shit just like your black panthers and naacp....btw i really want to go to college can you tell me where i can get into a ALL white college? and get a ALL white scholorship? what about government help? wait nm i'm not a minority...

@elamite66 there died a lot of them back then most of them during theyr child hood second of all is that back in that time new slaves/peasants were harder to get i am not talking about the roman empire but the time between roman empire and the medival times. poeple back then had to work all day for theyr land lord they only got enoug food to survive themselve most of their kids died during the winter or died cuz they had no food so next time u say somthing u better know ur facts

@justmesince1994 Actually when I referred to the European Peasantry I was going back as far as 500AD while conditions were bad they were more like badly treated share croppers than black slaves and they did not die in the millions crossing the Atlantic However you are right that some form of slavery has been with us since the beginning of civilization in most parts of the world

@elamite66 well when i wrote down u cant blame i was wrong srry u can blame them but its not because those poeple were black and im not talking about the same period i am talking about the year 500 when white man had to work at farms so other white landlords would protect them. u should read about it prety intersting. ofcourse slavery is bad and i should not have said that u cant blame poeple for it maby i should have read it before i posted it :P

@dcain912 You really believe black men were the largest slave owners? or that blacks made any real contribution to the C S Army? you need to do some research All white college good luck! but you could get in a former state run all black college with lower qualifications Don't believe me? Check it out? UNC at Greensboro is one of them

@fishP Johnny was originally a northern song derived from an earlier Irish song about an Irishman who joined the British Army and returned unrecognizable blind and crippled from India However it soon spread to the south and became a favorite of north and south during the Civil War

@Stalfos23 I don't see how there was a difference of opinion on cotton or the industrial revolution The south had a nascent industrial basis itself and cotton was just a raw material bought by the North as well as Britain and France Slavery and tariffs are the only serious difference I can see often wrapped in the banner of State's Rights The Southern Aristocracy used slavery which drove down the value of free white labor to maintain their riches

[elamite66]

@justmesince1994 The European peasantry was not treated nearly as harshly as blacks slaves and did poor white people in the South ever stop to think that the aristocracy was using slave labor driving down the value of free white labor? The reason race became the line it was is because there were no white slaves yes white indentured servants in colonial America but they had to work for a set number of years to repay their passage and were not treated as badly as slaves

@delvine13 talk about spoiled losers!

[elamite66]

@dcain912 the largest slave owners were black? blacks fought for the confederacy? your grasp of history is sadly lacking This may come as a shock but the percentage of white people in the US is declining and in Western Europe it's declining even faster By the end of the century white may be a minority here with a lower birth rate and immigration As for all white colleges good luck but being white you can be accepted at former state run all black colleges with lower qualifications
