The education of black children, the employment of black adults, housing, medical care, food - whites suddenly began to regard these normal needs as insupportable burdens, and supposed solutions to ''the problem'' of the black family destroyed some families and disfigured others. That blacks in America were able to maintain families at all and that these families endured after the Civil War is amazing. Perhaps because of this unexpected survival, historians usually treat the black family as a special phenomenon or trivialize it beyond recognition. Not so in ''Labor of Love, Labor of Sorrow,'' Jacqueline Jones's perceptive, well-written study of black women in the labor force from slavery to the present. http://usslave.blogspot.com/2014/10/a-labor-of-love-labor-of-sorrow.html http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_CvDCiEFbNy8/S5T04Su33lI/AAAAAAAAOiY/BTpW3UYncTk/s320/aaty.jpg 17l6: New York City required licensing of midwives. Such licenses placed the midwife in the role of servant of the state, a keeper of social and civil order. Death during childbearing not accurately reported, but one historian estimated that birth was still successful 95 percent of the time. Men did not attend births during Colonial times, as it was considered indecent. Also, there were few doctors around. https://midwiferytoday.com/mt-articles/history-midwifery-childbirth-america-time-line/ Women faced birth not with joy and ecstasy, but with fear of death and eternal judgment. http://www.womenhistoryblog.com/2014/06/19th-century-midwives.html Families back then was not ALL about a Party in The U.S.A... Would you stand behind the U.S.of America then?

In 1861, the Union general in command of Fort Monroe proclaimed that the slaves who had made their way there were "contraband", and thus did not need to be returned to their owners https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Histo...#/media/File:Fort_monroe_doctrine_cartoon.jpg
Perhaps up until the middle of last century. Heads up: it's 2017. Meantime, the Chinese, almost immediately after being starved, beaten, enslaved etc during the horror years of the 20thC, didn't waste a second on self-pity, and got straight to work. Instead of wailing about inequity from their armchairs for several generations, they said to themselves "well gosh, the dictatorship is over, and now I have an opportunity to make some filthy lucre and improve the lot of my family". In the end of the horror, they saw the beginning of their rise.
http://faculty.polytechnic.org/gfeldmeth/slave.html In the early 1700's, slaves were transported from West Africa to America through Badagry. It is reported that Badagry exported no fewer than 550,000 African slaves to America during the period of the American Independence in l787. In addition, slaves were transported to Europe, South America and the Caribbean. The slaves came mainly from West Africa and the neighboring countries of Benin (Republic of Benin-Dahomey) as well as others parts of Nigeria. The slave trade became the major source of income for the Europeans in Badagry. https://ihuanedo.ning.com/forum/topics/yoruba-enslavement-of-african
What happened in America in 1700 where we see the spike in Slave numbers? 1699 - Jamestown is abandoned after the statehouse is burned. Colonial government was moved to Middle Plantation, renamed soon after as Williamsburg. January 26, 1700 - The Cascadia earthquake, located off the coast of the Pacific Northwest along the Juan de Fuca plate, occurs. The magnitude 9 (8.7 to 9.2) quake caused a tsunami to hit the coast of Japan. October 9, 1701 - An Act for Liberty to Erect a Collegiate School is passed by the Colony of Saybrook (Connecticutt). It would become Yale University. April 17, 1702 - Royal Colony of New Jersey established by Queen Anne from separate provinces of East New Jersey and West New Jersey. (keep in mind that Jamestown was Established in 1607). This Painting is supposedly from 1715, 108 years after Jamestown was Established. http://americasbesthistory.com/abhtimeline1600.html http://americasbesthistory.com/abhtimeline1700.html Anne (6 February 1665 – 1 August 1714) became Queen of England, Scotland and Ireland on 8 March 1702. On 1 May 1707, under the Acts of Union, two of her realms, the kingdoms of England and Scotland, united as a single sovereign state known as Great Britain. She continued to reign as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland until her death. Anne was born in the reign of her uncle Charles II, who had no legitimate children. Her father, James, was thus heir presumptive to the throne. His suspected Roman Catholicism was unpopular in England, and on Charles's instructions Anne and her elder sister, Mary, were raised as Anglicans. Three years after he succeeded Charles, James was deposed in the Glorious Revolution of 1688. Anne's sister and Dutch Protestant brother-in-law and cousin William III of Orange became joint monarchs. Although the sisters had been close, disagreements over Anne's finances, status and choice of acquaintances arose shortly after Mary's accession and they became estranged. William and Mary had no children. After Mary's death in 1694, William reigned alone until his own death in 1702, when Anne succeeded him. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anne,_Queen_of_Great_Britain Or is THIS Queen Anne?
Where did the majority of Indentured Servants come from? Bound to labor for a period of years. There were three well-known classes: the free-willers, or redemptioners; those who were enticed to leave their home country out of poverty or who were kidnapped for political or religious reasons; and convicts. The first class represented those who chose to bind themselves to labor for a definite time to pay for their passage to America. The best known of these were Germans, but many English and Scottish men and women came in the same way. The second class, those who came to escape poverty or were forcibly brought to the colonies, was large because of the scarcity of labor in America. Their services were profitably sold to plantation owners or farmers, who indentured them for a period of years. The third class, convicts, were sentenced to deportation and on arrival in America were indentured unless they had personal funds to maintain themselves. Seven years was a common term of such service. The West Indies and Maryland appear to have received the largest number of immigrants of the third class. http://www.encyclopedia.com/history/united-states-and-canada/us-history/indentured-servants White slavery, white slave trade, and white slave traffic historically refer to the enslavement of Europeans by non-Europeans, as part of the Arab, Barbary and Ottoman slave trades, as well as by Europeans, such as the Viking's slaves or European Galley slaves. From Antiquity, European slaves were common during the reign of Ancient Rome. The most modern use of the term can also mean sexual slavery, including forced prostitution and human trafficking. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_slavery Slavery has existed all throughout Asia, and forms of slavery still exist today. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_slavery_in_Asia Today, we have enough Governments and Leaders to keep such things from occurring again... Every Established Country is protected under their Own Constitutional Government which would mean that 'explorations'/'new Settlements'/ etc.... would be seen as unnecessary and even a Violation. Some people will be loyal.. Others might be as de factos.. When and if crime occurs, as it has been in times past, hence; indentured servants, it will be up to the Rulers to decide how to follow through with/in their own Law(s). In Today's time a person can appeal to the Judiciary System. Back then, there might not have been a Judiciary System... There are National Embassies in Each Country and if a person should ever find him/her self stranded in some foreign Country, that citizen's Embassy might be able to help. Every person is a 'born citizen' of One Country or Another, or by Parentage; hence, a citizen of a Country. Some have duo Citizenships.
