One minor gaft; during the video the young man says the 15th and 16th centurys. My thought is that he meant the 16th and 17th which is when the slave trade started, 1620 or so. Other than that it is interesting to note that the Quakers were into slavery big time!

Hey, Gw. I think he said the 16 and 1700's and not 15th and 16th centuries. At least that's what I understood him to say.
Either way, it's utterly amazing that these people from the North are actually Shocked when the learn that slaves were brought in through their Northern ports. This is not news to most Southerners. We have known this since it was happening. Seems our friends from the North kinda quietly swept their "evil" histories under the rug, huh? Oh, but it's only Southerners who were the EVIL ones, because Southerners had ... s-l-a-v-e-s ... oh, shudder at the thought.

Hypocrisy runs rampant up there, me thinks...   ;)

This was a good video. Well documented, with the newspaper clippings, and the actual records shown in the clip. If they still have the newspapers from that time to prove what we've been saying for generations, reckon how they hid that kind of truth for so long? Sounds like the gubment was there abouts somewhar...  :o

Good piece, Gw.

The northern textile industry and trade were in full swing thanks to slavery and the southern rail system was the supply line for everything up north. It wasn't untill the south offered a cheaper direct source for Cotton, Tobaco and other supplies to Europe that the big money makers and shakers up north had a problem. So they put their man in charge who was a smooth talker, so it was easy to mislead many into blocking the shipping in and out of the warm water ports in SC. Once a strangle hold was in effect in the south, it was easy to push propoganda up north to stop slavery to secure personal gain. Thanks to the Muslim slave trade, the world had access to cheap labor long before the the south was even thought of or America for that fact but when people mass together like in Boston and New York they have to rely on others for their survival. By now the north had no further need of fieldhands/slaves except for household use so it was easy to frown upon the south and push propoganda. Even after the Civil War, large property owners in the south were chased or killed along with many others that new the truth. Remember IN ALL CONFLICTS THE WINNER GETS TO WRITE HISTORY EVEN WHEN ARTIFACTS DON"T BACK IT UP. Funny when in 2001 at one of the 37 slavery grave sites found, a hostorical group decided to hire a forensic team to research the digs and found that the remains showed stress fractures and tendon damage beyond belief on every corps. Way to go NY  ???.
I spent a great deal of time in Delaware and Maryland as a kid and one of the homes billed as being part of the underground railroad had to change it's story once the old barn attached to it had a wall torn down and revieled chains with shackles hanging on an inner wall. In New Jersey an old rail system used long before the Civil War was being removed and guess what was found under the rail road ties...Yup the remains of Slaves. That was covered up real quick when the media was told to push that it was an indian burial site LOL. There is a group of people that look for old paintings and maps that depict property with the location of wells. This was a common place to throw items you don't want others to find like gold and silver when at war but guess what was found in a Boston well...Yup the remains of five slaves in houshold clothing. Funny how it's OK to see Slavery all over the world even today but we can push history to our children, that the southern half of America was a problem. Remember this comes from the mouths of those that wrote history on the backs of Slavery from where they got their start

Man, if they ever catch up to you, they are going to reeducate the heck out of you.  Don't you know that slave ships from Texas, Georgia, Mississippi, and Alabama just showed up on the African coast in 1861 and filled their holds with blacks to sell as slaves?  And that chattle slavery was never practiced anywhere but in the Confederacy?  Oh, and of course, every white man in the South had a couple of dozen slave whom he flogged and raped every day.  Didn't you learn ANYTHING in your high school history classes?
