There’s plenty of papers on the statistics of the American Slave trade – duck-duck it.
https://faculty.weber.edu/kmackay/statistics_on_slavery.htm
again gives similar numbers: 4M slaves and 250k free non-white in 1860 in the Southern States.
Here’s some estimates on the import numbers (sorry, I don’t know a more sensitive way to express that). ~ 2M to North America
https://academic.udayton.edu/race/02rights/slave04.htm
But this says only ~400k
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1196042/slaves-brought-africa-to-us-1628-1860/
.. and for those that castigate the British and the USA – almost 11M slaves were imported to the Americas – Portugal was the biggest offender – only about 10% of those numbers went to the British colonies in North America.

Bullshit. Proclaimed, put into practice – some 40,000 freed slaves got their “40 acres and a mule” and later welshed on by Andrew Johnson.
Wikipedia ..
Freed people widely expected to legally claim 40 acres of land (a quarter-quarter section) and a mule after the end of the war. Some freedmen took advantage of the order and took initiatives to acquire land plots along a strip of South Carolina, Georgia and Florida coasts.[2] However, Abraham Lincoln’s successor as president, Andrew Johnson, tried to reverse the intent of Sherman’s wartime field order #15 and similar provisions included in the second Freedmen’s Bureau bills.
Some land redistribution occurred under military jurisdiction during the war and for a brief period thereafter. However, federal and state policy during the Reconstruction era emphasized wage labor, not land ownership, for black people. Almost all land allocated during the war was restored to its pre-war white owners.
Amazing. Do the Libs realize how badly this looks to the voters? There’s an election in a couple months or so. Sheesh they’re dumb.
Yep, but still hasn’t conquered the age old problem of keeping a supply going when Dan Murphy is out of stock.

Of course, if Court Historians admit that at least 25% of the slaves frred by the Civil War starved to death, questions might be asked, such as:
What was the fucking point of the Civil War?
Court Historians also play cute with the death toll from the Civil War.
For 100+ years after it was accepted as 500,000.
But when you add in civilian deaths, slave deaths and real figures for Union and Confederate dead, the same question raises it’s head:
What was the fucking point?
Clean up afterwards, you say?
Don’t tell me we are going to have to lower our expectations on which private school the Barnaby-Bastards will attend?

Arch conservative “Gray Connolly” who just magically appeared one day, who bangs on, and on, and on about “tradition” and “Australia”, is so wedded to “tradition” and “Australia” that he thinks the revolutionary, Soviet inspired “National Cabinet” secretly meeting behind closed doors to determine what Australia is going to get, forever, is a great idea!

Bossi’s cringe but rootless Gen-X “Gray Connolly”, who arrived here five minutes ago making it his goal in life to endlessly and sniffily lecture Australians about our “tradition” – that he’s read all about, so he knows, is infinite clown world times infinity.”
Oh cmon…..are you’re okay with Bosi standing up in uniform and screaming and screeching like a lunatic? The man has lost the plot with his crazy theories. We don’t need people like him on the right.
As Dot says, he is probably a spook….I would argue he’s not a good one. I like Kelly, I like Hanson, I like Roberts…all of whom do a great job without dispensing lunacy.

When I want an appraisal of my country I go to a first generation immigrant former naval intelligence officer whose entire family served in the British military establishment. Whose dogs breakfast of mundane ‘ideas’ are no better than the average commenter on any political blog, yet magically, suddenly one day appears on Twitter with tens of thousands of followers then something, something…is a “conservative pundit”.
Wholly coincidentally on the critical points of the moment (Covid tyranny, revolutionairy National Cabinet) he is in full support.
But ignore that.

Connolly
Bannon
Special forces or military intelligence.

I don’t trust any of them!
Still not quite sure what to make of him. His Road to Damascus moment will take some beating.
He’s a Spook too?
Okay, we’ve now got Bosi, Bannon, Connolly …
Are there any of these pundits that isn’t a Spook?
When I want an appraisal of Bosi, Connolly will do fine because he’s bang on the money.

Also he thinks repealing S18C was a terrible idea and the people who wanted it were “political fetishists” and that limits on free speech are the same as speed limits, there for all our protection.
Says former naval intelligence man, come “conservative” pundit.
When I say he glows, man, he shines bright!
Connoly reminds me of a Gen-X version of perpetual eyeore Peter Hitchens. Who also was the son of a family of the ole British Naval tradition and spent his entire middle age suffocating any chance of an optimistic reactionairy movement in Britain with endless droning about tradition this, and whatever that. Fortunately nobody listens to him anymore and they forge onwards and upwards with hope.
Shouting gypsum.
Shooting would be nice but at this early stage maybe yelling “Bang” is the best we can do.
He’s right. Only they’ll be sorting it out in Opposition. Standby for another Howard v Peacock battle for the hearts of the Lieboral Party. Broad church – what an utter crock.
“Connoly reminds me of a Gen-X version of perpetual eyeore Peter Hitchens.”

You’re wrong, we do need “crazies” on the right. Every successful movement has crazies and fundamentalists on their flanks. He needs to calm down 1000% for sure and people need to tell him that at the protest, but otherwise who cares?
Just don’t ever forget that everyone turned up and joined their protests, the peoples revolution, “crazy 5G and sov-citizens antilockdown” people, that they’d been holding each week, getting arrested at, getting mocked at for months beforehand, mid last year. Zealots and true believers at the pointy end of the stick are critical for success. The political left have known this for a century which is why they incubate them in universities and NGO’s and artificially maintain the fake ‘Greens’ parties across the world to be called upon whenever needed.
Consulting Burke’s Peerage:
yep, Latham is there, along with Connolly, Bannon …

Shooting it is usually the first step, but Sherman’s and Sheridan’s men didn’t give 2 fucks either way.

PS, Dick, one of the Southerners’ complaints against Sherman was that his men shot the dogs. The “dogs” being the bloodhounds used to track escaped slaves. Perhaps Sherman’s men had some sympathy for the slaves, unlike, apparently, you.

At least McCormack didn’t lie about what he stood for.
He didn’t advance his own interests by secretly propping up the Britnah ‘Iggins push to destroy conservative politics whilst his missus was writing “feed the chooks” articles in the Tele to placate the faithful in the bush.
The Public Health Acts MUST be repealed.
If I have learnt anything, I don’t even think delegated legislation ought to exist anymore. The NSW Government made regulation and deferred Parliament from sitting for six months. It could not be rejected.
Tudor regime shenanigans.
Absolutely twostix. Movements are sustained by the fanatics. If that chap had not stood in front of that tank so many years ago Tiananmen Square would have been forgotten by the next afternoon. Passionate intensity keeps movements going. I’ve argued the case here before that if you think being calm and reasonable will win the day you are being irrational. People strongly respond to those who wear their emotions on their sleeve and are prepared to take it to the streets. The recent protests regarding COVID restrictions persuaded politicians to move much more quickly to lower restrictions than any number of erudite letters and emails to MPs could have done.

Heh. Kept in durance vile, beaten, working the cotton fields from dawn to dusk, and still increased eleven fold. And were so busy proliferating that they never learned to till the fields (despite working them daily), nor to build homes (everything was supplied and maintained by de massas).

Meanwhile in Townsville:
A REPEAT juvenile offender has made a mockery of the youth justice system after he re-sold an expensive present bought for him by the government for drugs.
Police sources told the Bulletin the boy, who cannot be named, was recently released from detention and was gifted a mountain bike worth more than $1000 for him to use at his residential care house.
Sources say instead of riding it, the boy re-sold the bike within days for drugs.
Opposition spokesman for Police Dale Last said it showed the government’s priority was the “criminal not the victim”. “What we have here is an offender being rewarded while victims are left with little or no support from this heartless government,” Mr Last said.
“The fact that taxpayers provided a bike to a convicted offender who then used it to purchase drugs proves that these young offenders have no respect for the legal system.”
The 17-year-old is a well-known property offender and was recently sentenced for bashing two woman in an attempted carjacking on Ross River Rd in March last year.
Under the influence of ice and armed with a large knife, the teen preyed on a 55-year-old woman as she left a medical centre and dragged her from her car in an attempt to steal it.
He punched her in the face multiple times and crushed her between the door and the car as he slammed it open and closed repeatedly against her body.
The boy has been in and out of youth detention for most of his young life and was put into a residential care house when he was 12 years old. He has a 14-page criminal history and has been ordered to detention 13 times.
A child safety insider said these sorts of sell-offs happened all the time.
“(The department will) buy them computers, laptops, iPads, phones, and they sell them, only for child safety to replace them a few weeks later,” they said.
“I know kids who have had five to six phones bought for them by the department.”
A spokeswoman from Youth Justice cited confidentiality clauses when asked specifically about the boy.
The spokeswoman said a federal-funded allowance, Federal Government’s Transition to Independent Living Allowance, can be used to buy items and services for kids to help with transition to independent living.
“Eligible young people aged 15 to 25 can receive a one-off payment of up to $1500, which can be spent in a variety of ways,” the spokeswoman said.
They said the Queensland Government does not fund the program, but it is unclear who decides how the money is distributed.
Opposition spokesman for Police Dale Last said if the boy needed transport to school or work, a cheaper bike would have “done the job”.

Screaming obscenities at the punters whilst wearing gongs earned for fields of endeavour not related to public administration and chanting ‘pedo pedo, pedo, pedos everywhere’ is intense, but not passionate.

*Nor does reading the screecher’s own manifesto, which prescribes execution – after a trial presided over by persons unknown – for an undefined thing called ‘political warfare’.

As I said in a post yesterday, many of the staffroom got their covid red pill on Friday. Eg Qld mask mandates for schools, seriously what is the point if kids can take them off when seated and can do PE, dance and sing with no mask? Teachers can take masks off if not within 1.5 of students and they can be off if we are sitting in classroom or staffroom. Add to this we cannot be close contacts because we are teachers. If I get the couf, Mrs D is a close contact and has to do the full close contact bullshit. If she gets the couf I can go to work until I show symptoms.

Good points KD. Nazi Germany is more what I had in mind. There were brains guiding the fanatics. The Nazi leadership was a very clever bunch that excelled in manipulating the mob. Some even suggest Hitler was very bright but he did become unhinged in later years and like so many political leaders he should have stayed away from military strategy!
When the leader is a lunatic things get out of hand. I don’t know about Bosi, I’m not interested in yet another failed political party, so my comments were out of turn.
It’s fun to do, but it’s not a competitive sport as the scoring is impossible.
The danger with the likes of Bosi isn’t really that he sounds like a clown at a protest, there are unlimited numbers of them and that didn’t stop November / December from happening. It’s that as “Jan 6” showed, anyone who has been recently involved in the military or security forces now trying to get ahead and “lead” these protests, or like “Gray Connolly” trying to “thought lead” the current conservative re-alignment, has to be eyed with a deep level of suspicion by normal people.
“ex-Naval intelligence” you say?
“ex-Special forces” you say?
Right…..
The ‘passionate intensity’ business works for the Left but not the Right.
Consider how it works: Leftoid radicals glue themselves to road, often get violent and spit in the eye of the society that tolerates them.
Labor and greens mainstream pols ostentatiously wring their hands at the worst episodes, then add the caveat that while their passionate intensity goes too far, their concerns are valid and worth incorporating into law.
On the right, were all things equal, those infamous garage nazis would be the shock troops. Yet they are such odious wankers, the handful of them that actually exist, no decent conservative can or would endorse them.
Chuck in the bias of media coverage and you have an steeply uneven, asymmetrical battlefield.
The only way conservatives win is if mainstream politicians hold the line — a devotion that recent history says is simply beyond them.
Thus, by gradual degrees of aggression and concession, does the Left win … and win … and win.

When was the last time he operated anything more lethal than a semi-automatic Bic ballpoint behind a desk in Canbra?

Delta – I haven’t checked out anything in it, it was a fun story so I thought it’d be an entertaining Sunday afternoon read.
OTOH I do know that titanium dioxide pigment is added to some “cheese” to make it look like cheese instead of being transparent. It’s harmless, but the fun is that the cheese as such would look sort of like jelly if it didn’t contain an opacifier.

I’d taken the lad surfing down at Bells Beach when he was about 15yo.
It was just perfect barrels lined up forever
Sitting there on the beach with old Bess Dog, a heeler who was by that stage about 15yo herself.
Every time a surfer came in and walked up the beach blind old Bess would walk her old bones towards them for a sniff just in case it was the boy coming back in.
This time the bloke must have looked right in silhouette so dog’s tail was going helicopter. Though he didn’t smell right she gave him a nuzzle anyways and Kelly Slater gave her a good scratch behind the ears.
Boy finally came back in all wide-eyed and grinning.
He says, “omfg! did you see that? I hassled a wave off Kelly Slater”
srr
I think this is pretty obvious. With increasing wealth / exit from poverty, all societies have decreasing birthrates.
.. and governments obviously believe (rightly or wrongly) that an increasing population is essential for prosperity. Hence the immigration ponzi we’re running.
The public anger of the sacking of Justin Langer is growing.
The Oz is running a poll “should CA have re-signed Langer?”
Current figures are 15683 votes with 89% “Yes” and 11% “No”.
The 1700 odd “No” voters are probably Indians or Poms.
Can anyone advise when Bosi last wore a uniform as an ADF member?
For a bloke who likes to strut around in khaki, there is remarkably little available about his ADF service.
He seems to have started his public speaking (ranting) business in 1999, but there is reference to him being in the Army until 2004.
Presumably running a business whilst serving full-time would be verboten, so I assume 1999-2004 was as a Reservist?
In any case, someone wearing the uniform 15-20 years after leaving strikes me as a cosplay fetishist living on past glories.

Had gourmet Italian sausages for lunch. Nice enough.
But how can sausages be gourmet? Wouldn’t even say gourmand.
We are on the third floor so our table is quite high.
Not sure what fires for justice you think you’ve been kindling lately, but I do hope they are wood-fired.
While I will always be partial to anything I’ve made over a coal-fired grate (fly ash makes the best crunchy bits. And it scrubs your teeth really good, too!), the very best pizza is wood-fired…

“He’s sent a rape victim a secret message,”
What “rape victim”? He sent a message to a woman who “alleges” she was raped. Oh and the Higgins trial hasn’t happened yet so, the plain fact is that Higgins is the accuser and the man she “alleges” raped her is the defendant and he remains innocent until proven guilty…..unless of course you’re happy to trash common law…which clearly Dick Ed is.

No two waves are identical, Eyrie. 100 meters is the exact same distance for competitors with the winner marked as the one who reaches the other end first. You’re really not good at this stuff, but keep trying as one of these days you may end up saying something that’s half way correct.

Genesis 1:28
God blessed them and said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply, and fill the earth and subdue it; rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and every creature that crawls upon the earth.”

And God told him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation–even a company of nations–shall come from you, and kings shall descend from you.
Genesis 8:17
Bring forth with thee every living thing that is with thee, of all flesh, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth; that they may breed abundantly in the earth, and be fruitful, and multiply upon the earth.
Grigs will even argue that the Brereton et al shitfight is genuine ‘whistleblowing.’
Remarkable how there is an incredible paucity of concrete and actionable evidence after some 15 years of investigations and the corresponding appearance of a remarkable array of investigative authorities within Defence with previously unheard-of coercive legal powers. And that’s before we even get to the publishing dates of Dr Samantha Crompvoets’ and Mark Willacy’s storytellings…
Uh huh.
The defendant’s same has been published in the MSM so it’s not secret squirrel anymore.
Any particular reason you and a coupla others have been whiteknighting for him.

It’s been Committed for Trial, so a Magistrate had to be satisfied that there is a Case to answer.
Peter Dutton called it “he said, she said”, which doesn’t reflect well on him.
Apparently “incidental Covid” is now a thing, according to the NSW Health Secretary. This, as she casually explained how the department has been delivering fraudulent pandemic figures to the people she’s meant to serve.
Someone told them to collate the hospital admission figures this way in order to skew admissions upward to go with the ballooning case numbers. I want to know who.
Scumwatch reports that “Ed Case” continues to assert the superiority of summary justice.
Be on the lookout for a verminous rat covered in pondscum, waste and detritus…
I saw that Rockdoctor, but it also says he started “Lionheart” (his ‘motivational’ speaking business) in 1999, which is an overlap.
I assume the ADF wouldn’t allow full-timers to freelance, so this leads me to believe he retired from full-time ADF in 1999, and probably continued as a Reservist until 2004.

If you call standing up for the presumption of innocence ‘white-knighting’ then count me in.
Across the English speaking world, the UK, Canada and here in Oz, the relationship between police and the citizen, as originally envisaged by Robert Peel, has broken down. Trust has been trashed, respect has been evaporated. This has always been the left’s plan. The police in the English speaking world now operate as partisan militias of progressive governments. We’ve witnessed such partisanship, such biased policing even here in Oz. BLM protest – police stand back, anti-lockdown protest – police move in.
This was uploaded this morning by a Canadian about the disgraceful Ottawa police chief, who’s just a personal lackey of the boy PM who likes to wear black face…..

Quote from the Rockdoctor link.
“Within the answer to that inquiry, we realize the structural issue of the Conservative Party in Canada. They are controlled opposition who actually support leftist Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.”
It’s the same here Morrison supports and agrees with the Labor Premiers and the Labor Premiers support Morrison. Both sides would like to win their respective elections but deep down it doesn’t really matter as they are merely different wings of the same party.
What NSW Health have been doing to the hospital admission figures is Mt Everest compared to the PH rumpy pumpy molehill.
One might have you salivating and sniggering over the vulgar details of it all, the other is a fraud and deception of gargantuan proportions, probably reaching right to the top of the department, if not the government.
Twitter has become unusable for people that don’t have a twitter account. Pop up windows stop you from reading too many comments and going directly to someones him feed is the same.

In addition, medical practice does eventually auto-correct – and ends up doing the right thing.
After a lot of deaths….
Interesting that the OODA loop was discussed.
Observe: Most didn’t get infected on the Ruby Princess, most didn’t die.
Oh wait, let’s just scream and run around like our hair is on fire!
But the Presumption Of Innocence is just that, it doesn’t need to be defended in one or 2 particular cases, but not generally.
Put another way RockDoctor, Bosi has spent more of his adult life outside the military than in it (not counting Reservist time).
So why are we still strutting around in khaki 23 years after full-time service ceased?
Is it that the period since isn’t anything to write home about?
And yes, it is there on a bare-bones LinkedIn timeline, but if you are revelling in uniform cosplay, why doesn’t the A1 website make more of his glittering military career?
BTW, I disagree with Cassie that it is reminiscent of Central America circa 1960’s and 1970’s.
It’s got a 1990’s Balkans vibe for me.
Everyone thinks the sword is great.
Right up to the point where it is against their necks.
Justice vs. Mercy- A Believer who understands just how awesome (and not in the clichéd ‘good’ sense in which we understand it) God’s Justice is, is always grateful for and will always seek His Mercy instead. As do most people in the world when finally sprung and held to account for their actions…

I had noticed that Frank. For the linked Tweet, just press “play”. You’ll see it all and make up your own mind.
Reading comments is interesting but time consuming. Sometimes though a commenter will point out that the linked video or still is actually from another source/location/date which gives you a better understanding of veracity and context.
Well, it needs to be defended when the hostess of The Project is rattling crucifixion nails in her pocket at every opportunity, and with potential jurors tuning in.
So, you still disagree with the concept?

“The Great Pyramid of Cheese” (2 Jan)
That was great Bruce. I can vouch for the industrial cheese making process. In the early eighties, I worked at PDS ALLOWRIE at Granville. It was next door to the Vauxhall Inn, (that’s a story for another time!). In those days, any unsold or out of date cheese was sent back to us from all the supermarkets. Some of the vac-seal was gone and a lot of the blocks of cheese would have mould growing inside the plastic cover. When a large load of this cheese would arrive, all of the casual day workers would be called and were set to ripping the plastic off the cheeses and, if the mould was particularly excessive, slice off some of it.
As the cheese was undressed, it was then tossed into a huge stainless steel bin on wheels. When this was full, it was sent to the cooking room. The cheese was emptied into a huge, heated mixer along with various oils, salts, colouring, plasticisers, etc. This was cooked and stirred for a while then poured onto large belts to be cooled and rolled like pasta to the correct thickness. Then sliced and packaged.
Any and all cheese was used in this process, cheddar, swiss, gouda etc. Whatever came back from the supermarket. All mixed up and turned in Kraft Processed Cheese Slices.
Enjoy!
What’s the chances of a potential juror tuning in to The Project?
About the same as winning Lotto?
I want to see some “explanatory reporting” on what that Health Secretary chicksplained about “incidental Covid” and the rubbery figures.

Damn!, what happened to my paragraph breaks?!!
Groogs on fire today. Must have changed mutton suppliers.
Professional surfers (like professional golfers) are in another league. Ages ago I was surfing Yallingup when the Margaret River Pro was on and the place was crawling with pro surfers. It was big but nothing outrageous. Matt Branson took off on this wave, does this S turn thing down the face and disappears. As the wave closes out on the reef he reappears with a 6 foot aerial before anybody really knew what they were.
Innocent until proven guilty, hey, Grogarly Q.C?
Wearing a uniform when you’re no longer employed in that capacity is just straight up weird and creepy. I agree with wearing medals etc on civilian clothes on Anzac Day but uniform? No. Is this a military thing? You never see retired police, fire etc wandering the streets in their old uniforms, it’s just not done.
I’d never support anyone who did/does.
And to add to that…
Those of us without Twitter accounts link to the tweets in good faith because we don’t have access to the comments to check.
Those who do have Twitter accounts, and link without scrolling down to make sure to the best of their ability (given that the feed is fluid)…not so much.

Sancho, in all honesty I don’t have an opinion on him other than he has gone off the reservation lately.
Frank @ 2:42pm Open the settings in your internet browser find the cookies tab and delete the twitter cookies. There is a few sites with instructions on how to do it. Google Twitter forceing me to log in to see tweets. This solved the problem for me, however you have to do it regularly.

Frank, funny enough wearing the uniform isn’t an offence. The offence is to present yourself or try to make people believe you’re police officer. A small difference but important.
“Sancho, in all honesty I don’t have an opinion on him other than he has gone off the reservation lately.”
I’m one of the few here who’s met him and his wife….now three years ago. I found Bosi impressive at the time. I don’t find him impressive any more, I find his obsession with pedos disturbing and his “fuck this and fuck that” shtick not conducive to winning over mainstream voters. The truth is that there are unhinged people out there who inhabit the dark corners of the left and the right and if you want a serious political career, you need to avoid those nutters.
As Dot has alluded, I’m beginning to think he’s a plant.
Just back from Yallingup (surf midsized and messy)…
Famous general store-coffee shop n boutique bakery combo at the top of the hill was dead at 9:30. Probably 20% of the traffic I’d expect. (I went in for cofvefes sans muzzle… not a peep) Signage on door saying mask up, no dine-in, apply within for positions starting immediately.
Another mate texting from his Thai restaurant last night, they were so quiet. It was a rare hot windless night where I’d reckon the average consumer would jump at the chance to have someone else cook for them- he overlooks beer garden of hwy hotel, they turned their lights off at 9:00. His January receipts were down to 45% of Jan 2021.

Yes, if you tried to exercise authority over people or gain financial advantage by doing so.
But not if you dress as a Bobby for a fancy dress party.
I put Bosi in this latter category (fancy dress for effect).

Last night I watched a French reality TV show called Familles Nombreuses, la vie en XXL.
No doubt carefully curated, despite not following the dialogue, none appeared to be ‘blended families’ they all seemed very happy, one family of six children had a baby girl with down’s syndrome, clearly adored by all. I think the biggest family had ten children.

Just had a look at the candidates for the local state seat by-election next weekend. What a choice – the ALP professional candidate who has never had a real job, the National candidate who is the wife of the recently retired local mayor, the Greens (never!), the Animal Justice Party (like I’m going to vote for compulsory veganism), the Sustainable Australia Party – Stop Overdevelopment/Corruption (sounds like a front for someone), and an Independent who is well known as a local loon abusing people on Facebook. Looks like a ‘None of the Above’ from me.

Aussie Cossack handled that superbly.

He has been pushing the Mutton Window lately.
Cassie, I watched one of his presentations when he had his nephew co hosting. I lost interest pretty quick in it and didn’t see anymore episodes. Then there was the rant full of expletives and that was my first whoa, then the blue card to join his party which I thought was a little over the top and another hmm. The last straw was the rant at the judge, for someone considering a tilt at representational duties he shot his credibility in one foul swoop. Shot in the dark but having a friend just go through anger management counselling from his ADF service, I’d hazard a guess there may be something similar going on.

The majority of enslaved Africans brought to British North America arrived between 1720 and 1780.
…
by 1850, most US slaves were third-, fourth-, or fifth-generation Americans.
…
Although young adult men had the highest expected levels of output, young adult women had value over and above their ability to work in the fields; they were able to have children who by law were also slaves of the owner of the mother. Therefore, the average price of female slaves was higher than their male counterparts up to puberty age.
so yes — they were bred like animals and likely did have a very high birth rate.
Indeed. The point I was trying to make to Dick Ed was that, contrary to his depiction of released slaves as innocent children, unable to grow food or build houses without the help of de massa, the released slaves knew how to farm, how to work with wood, and (in the case of the women at least) how to make clothing.
The idea that a quarter of the released slaves starved to death in a bit over a decade after being released is, to put it tactfully, unsupported by any actual evidence. Note also, that the black population continued to rise while Ed alleges that a million of them were starving to death.
