OK, let's talk slavery

We find unregulated, involuntary servitude mentioned in the constitution. We went through that. It was a common practice practiced by Europeans colonialists, went through that.

By 1750, it was widespread among europeans, and africans.  But it was clear the  Africans were getting the bad slave contracts.

By 1800, the prohibition against mass involuntary slave trade was beginning, as well as the beginning of agricultural slaves on the plantation.  By 1820, it was clear that the South was adopting permanent black slavery and the north going toward free labor contracts.

Around 1800, a black person would think everyone is stuck, blacks get the worst jobs.  They were working with Europeans servants with 20-30 and some lifetime contracts.  Labor was simply unegulatedmand colonial. Blacks got the bad jobs.

True slavery, black plantation slavery was 1820 to 1860. That is two generations of blacks who suffered the black slave plantation.    European colonialists have done worse.  LBJ killed 1.5 million vietnamese.? native Americans? Chinese rail labor? racial segregation by the Franciscans? public sector union dictatorships?
