Opinion The Other Slavery exposes the 1619 Project's fraud By Conn Carroll, Commentary Editor October 10, 2022 01:09 PM
According to Nikole Hannah-Jones's myth , U.S. history didn't really begin until August 1619, when about 20 slaves were sold to the governor of the Virginia colony by a British privateer. This "beginning of American slavery" is central to our nation's history, Hannah-Jones argues, because black Americans would go on to become "the perfecters of this democracy."
The problem is, like every claim Hannah-Jones makes, the claim that slavery began in America in 1619 is a fiction to begin with. Now, a new project funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation is unintentionally exposing that fraud.
GIVEN THEIR HISTORY OF SLAVERY AND CONQUEST, WE SHOULD END INDIGENOUS PEOPLES DAY
The "Native Bound-Unbound: Archive of Indigenous Americans Enslaved" plans to "digitize and piece together stories of the millions of Indigenous people whose lives were shaped by slavery."
Many of those enslaved indigenous Americans were enslaved by other indigenous Americans long before Europeans came to the Americas. "Indigenous slavery long predated the arrival of Europeans in the Americas. As far back as we can peer into pre-Contact monuments, codices, and archaeological evidence as well as the earliest European accounts, we learn about Indigenous Americans enslaving one another," University of California, Davis history professor Andres Resendez writes in his book The Other Slavery.
"The Maya and Aztec took captives to use as sacrificial victims, the Iroquois waged 'mourning wars' on neighbors to avenge and replace their dead, Native groups along the North Pacific Coast finalized elite marriages by exchanging enslaved people, and so on. These practices of bondage were embedded in specific cultural contexts," Resendez continues.
Not only did Native Americans enslave each other long before Europeans arrived, but Native Americans were also active participants in the African slave trade.

"The Five Civilized Tribes [Cherokee, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek and Seminole] were deeply committed to slavery, established their own racialized black codes, immediately reestablished slavery when they arrived in Indian territory, rebuilt their nations with slave labor, crushed slave rebellions, and enthusiastically sided with the Confederacy in the Civil War," National Museum of the American Indian Curator Paul Chaat Smith told Smithsonian magazine.
Black Americans are not "the perfectors" of our democracy — nor are Native Americans, nor are whites. What makes the U.S. unique is not that slavery was once tolerated in our country — it was in fact tolerated everywhere on Earth for millennia — but that we fought a bloody Civil War to end it. Very few countries can say that.

Gee, I guess slavery was perpetrated by just about every group.
The world over it seems...................
Gee, I guess that makes it OK then. Right?
Who is in favor of slavery?
No Steevie....can't single out those Whit Europeans anymore
I don't single out anybody. I'll call anybody out who thinks slavery is ok including the what aboutists at the Washington Examiner.
Where did they state it is OK?
Reading something that isn't there?
Yep, along with the simple fact that the United States did not even exist in 1619. Therefore the proponents of the 1619 fallacy should direct their bogus ideas to the British and the Spanish, who were the two major European colonial slave holding powers in the New World at the time.
These sort of articles are garbage.
We have had hundreds of years of white supremacy in 'America'. BECAUSE slavery in America quickly became based on race, which is in writing for those of you who dont believe it, we ended up having a society that was racist. I have repeatedly asked anyone on this forum to give me a decade since the founding when America was not majority racist, and no one can do it. I think they know I will look up historical information from that decade and we will see how prevalent racism was in that era.
The point is that slavery in the US was different from "other" countries. US slavery of the Africans established them as inferior people forever, the children and grandchildren and great grandchildren of Negro slaves were born as slaves. Eventually this system baked the concept of black inferiority into the American mindset. So much so that it was 100 years after slavery ended before blacks achieved equal rights under the law.
For those who think indigenous slavery, to the extent it may have existed, established a racial group as inferior and to be slaves in perpetuity, please prove it.
That's just not so.
Anyone could use the current decade as the prime exampl.
I saw a CNN poll a few months ago from the 90s where somewhere around 90% of black teens said racism played no, or very little role, in their lives.
After 20 years of being told they are victims, I'm sure the numbers have gotten worse.
We are far less racist, yet more divided by race. It's the politics of the left
Your whole theory falls apart in 1621 with Anthony Johnson.
I dont know what kind of history books or articles you read, but you desperately need some different , better, sources.
You went through all that to tell me you have absolutely no idea who Anthony Johnson is.
Reader's Digest version -
Maybe you should do some research on what you are talking about. It would save you the problem of being proven wrong.
Do you know how to read?
And despite that, he, as a BLACK MAN was permitted to hold slaves. Like I said, your whole theory falls apart in 1621
The 1619 project is designed to brainwash students in anti-Americanism. It's not even subtle, given the magnitude of its outright lies.
Slavery, across the world, throughout history, has been the general rule. It was the Declaration of Independence that made the concept of slavery intellectually untenable, and it was the British, and to a lesser extent American navies that ended the transcontinental slave trade. We take for granted the concept that slavery is a moral evil while despising the people who made that intellectual revolution possible, because the politics of victimization demand it. .
First of all, half of America did not want slavery to end in the 1860's. The constitution of the Confederate States of America actually made it unconstitutional for any of its member states to unilaterally end slavery. If Louisiana decided at some point that they didnt want slavery in their state anymore they would have been kicked out of the confederacy.
Secondly, it is true that the ideas spread in the Enlightenment era made the rationale for slavery eventually untenable. Which is why the rationale for slavery became biblical. The slaveowners could no longer claim that "all men" did not deserve freedom, so they changed the rationale, based on the Bible among other things, to claim that the Africans were so inferior they were not actually "men" in the definition of the Declaration of Independence.
Slavery based on race existed in the United States for 200 years, including the entire era of the founding of the United States, and then , even after slavery ended, the people who had been slaves were oppressed on the basis of race for another 100 years. To this day racial prejudice against people of color is rampant.
This is a disastrously bad history for a country to have.
That entire statement is virtue signaling leftist racism at it's finest.
Bravo John! Way to toe the party line!
Are you ok? My entire statement is the truth.
Only to fucked up radical fundamentalists
No one else ....
Your truth- which has nothing to do with reality.
Racism still exists; but it is the Democrats who are the primary culprits.
I met a white dude that was racist the other day, therefore white dudes are racists ...... said no thinking person ever.
I curious to see a link to where you are getting your information.
That is in the Confederate Constitution, making the ending of slavery by a confederate state unconstitutional.
What the Confederate States Constitution says about slavery
I guess they didnt teach you that in school.

So you linked what somebody TOLD you the Constitution of the Confederate States states. Not surprising.
Seems Yale has a different one.
Your link uses wikisource as a reference. I'll stick with a reputable source.
"To this day racial prejudice against people of color is rampant."
Wrong again....it''s never been less.
I just copied this sentence from your source.
You are hopelessly incompetent. It wouldnt be so bad if you werent so aggressive about it.
Apparently I pay closer attention than you. Now start reading from the beginning. You will see the following:
When you stop being selective and only selecting what YOU want, you will learn something.
That passage is meaningless. All it means is that there would be no slave trade. They already had enough slaves to last, uh, forever, BECAUSE slavery was inherited from generation to generation.
Just stop. You are getting nowhere and it will only get worse for you.
That's insane. Truly insane.
Not only that, he used the highly leftist lberally biased rag The Atlantic as a what he considers a non biased and credible source?
He has no clue what he's even saying.
That would be you Ronin.
Because if goes against what you are trying to push?
Bingo!
That didn't surprise me in the least. It's all about the narrative.
These people are a trip Tessy. I've never seen people be so aggressive with their ignorance. The text of the Confederate Constitution is there for anyone to see. It was unconstitutional to outlaw or end slavery in the Confederacy.
Really? What does the slave trade have to do with the fact that it was unconstitutional to end slavery in the confederate states? Nothing.
I'm getting dizzy from all these lame attempts to move the goalpost.
