I thought England was also able to import cotton from India so they didn’t rely on American cotton the way Northern industry did?

I don’t have the picture but one of my favorite stories was how the First Lady of Japan pretended not to speak English so she wouldn’t have to talk to Melania

no it was Egypt, but cheap short-staple American cotton was a huge boon to British industry, it was worthless until the invention of the "cotton gin", which is something that's half-taught in American schools. The deal with the cotton gin was that it made farming short-staple cotton in the Mississippi region economically viable, assuming of course that you had prisoners paid nothing to do all the work.

Seriously, anybody here not intent on just posting "piss" (which is fine, of course) should read "American Slave Coast" and "The Half Has Never Been Told". It'll take you a while and you will be filled with hatred afterwards, but it will reshape your understanding of how this continent came to be what it is now.

WE ARE EVERYWHERE

A few minutes ago, standing on a beach in Hawaii, taking pictures w my Japanese waifu and daughter.

A middle aged Hawiian dude was sitting on the sand next to us. He asked where we were from and I told him Texas (did not mention living in Japan). He went on to say we had a strong governor, and that Hawaii's governor was a weak titty baby

Then things got real. He asked if i was vaccinated (and if you've been to Hawaii recently then you know they are in full sheep mode here). I told him "gently caress NO!!!" He laughed and said right on.

Then he got serious and started telling me, "You don't know this, but there's some crazy dark forces out there trying to ruin our way of life, and enslave us all, that whole vaccine thing is a part of it" then he looks up at me and says "Have you ever heard of GESARA OR NESARA?"

I ALMOST poo poo MY PANTS!

It's one thing to be here with you all, but to encounter another pede in the wild IS WILD.

We fist bumped over WWG1WGA, he said he doesn't think theres that many ppl on Hawaii that know what is coming. But after my out of the blue random convo with him, i believe there are more of us out there, silently waiting, trying to spread the word when we can, than we can even imagine.

I'm so excited I have the shakes but I am doing my best to type this into my iphone before I lose the signal.

yea they're good books.

The key point: slaves were literally money. There was no monetary system back then like we have now; coins were always hard to come by, and the idea of paper money was in its infancy and nobody knew what it meant (until the Civil War, and even for a while after that). Land was dirt cheap (lol) because the continent was huge, but land was worthless before stuff like fossil fuel motors unless you had slaves.

Also the American slave system, which ruled that a child that emerged from a female slave was therefore also a slave, was kind-of a new thing, and made slave breeding itself into a business. Basically, feel free to hate America all you want because it's totally justifiable.
