This story of white servitude is hidden and they represent (AT LEAST) 1/2 to 2/3 of the first settlers of the America colony.
They were temporary chattel.

The Forgotten White Slaves Of America
By: Nehesy (Jan 2009)
You had:
– The Redemptioners ( specially the Germans who came with all their family but the family members were frequently sold to different masters);
– The Indentured Servants who sold themselves for a better life and a better place to live; they were lured with false promises ie “A land of milk and Honey is waiting for you in the new world”; and London was characterized by high poverty, famine and was “infested” with plagues…
– The kidnapped people of London, Bristol and Liverpool (Men, Women, Children); It was a Royal policy : POOR RELIEF;
– The poors and vagrants (Men, Women, Children) of the United Kingdom;
– The loose or lewd women (prostitutes);
– The convicts and criminals; who were highly preferred by planters because they were bound for 14 years at least; The child servants were praised for the same reason ( long period of bondage)…Maryland and Virginia were convicts’ states…
– The war prisoners ie Irish and Scottish ( Monmouth Rebels , Covenanters etc); the “Irish slave trade” is hidden into our history books but it’s a reality of the past …
– Apprentices , which was the best form of “bondage” (with the Redemptioners) because they could learn a job;
– Many indentured servants came from Europe (Italy and Greece) as well;
– Seamen impressed in ships ( they were bound to the master’s ship and could whipped in case of mutiny). They were often kidnapped in British Taverns; many case of desertions occurred in the Royal and Continental navies. As Richard Brandon Morris said they were the “last slaves” to be emancipated in 1915…Their hand could be cut off in a case of aggression against the ship’s captain…
It must be said that London ( Liverpool,Bristol) Merchants and British authorities ( Royalty; Mayor etc) were responsible for their temporary enslavement, and made huge profits in selling them to the colonies …
London ( Liverpool , Bristol) Merchants with British Authorities ( specially the Royalty) were also involved in the African slave trade…
When the supply of white servants happened to be insufficient in order to match the labor demand in the colonies, they created the Royal Company of Africa in order to import (kidnap) more Africans…
When you have a look at the first census in the American colonies , white servants or temporary slaves, outnumbered African slaves in all the British colonies ( America and West Indies).
The African slave trade and the possession of black slaves happened to be more profitable to the former servants traders/drivers and to the former servants masters in the colonies. This is why, we African or afro descendants suffered so much..
Planters were really harsh on them : many servants deaths were due to maltreatment…
After the American Revolution, British turned to Australia , as a convict colony. The Jails ships in London ( called “HULKS” were overcrowded).
When the African slave trade has been abolished, they turned to Asia for the “Pig” Trade or Coolie Trade, ( China and India). The same suffering, the same maltreatments, the same riots ( in the plantations and the slave ships)….
Only the European poor and the middle class went to the new world , the richest stayed in Europe.
Many white servants and black slaves married together because they suffered the same pains and maltreatments. Many white servants were involved in slave riots like in the New York Plot ( see Pr Richard Brandon Morris and Pr Abbott Emerson Smith), and some even fled to the Indians with their black brethren.
They suffered the “middle passage” as well, because they died like flies in the ships who brought them to the colonies, they were packed like “herring”….
With the time, white servants became overseers, and hatred was installed between the two communities, by the planters who divided them in order to ruled them…Some white servants were used in the militia in order to defend the colony from French and Spanish , but also to kill Indians or suppress slaves insurrections.
The “Divide and Rule” technique was used against the Indians (first slaves in America) in order to get allies and slaves. Europeans would give guns to their Indian allies in order to enslave other Indians. They used this technique in Canada, North America, South America ( Mexico) , the West Indies (Cuba) and in Africa as well… But the Indians slaves in North America died like flies, and could flee easily because after all it was their country.
Europeans kidnapped Indians , or caused wars between Indians tribes in order to response to their labor demand.
The American used the race card in order to ally with the white servants (or former servants), even if they really despised them , by calling them names : “White Trash”; “Redneck”; “Hillbillies”; “White niggers” etc.
It’s must be said that white servant preceded the black slave into the South plantations.
And the system which was imposed to them ( punishment, tortures, rapes, separation of families etc) was ready to absorb the black Africans slaves ( See Pr Ulrich B Phillips).
It was really “A NASTY” period for poor whites and anything colored ( Blacks, Indians etc).
The European rich class caused a lot of suffering to these people , even if they were white like them ….
Nothing better could happened to blacks, Chinese or Indians who were bound to that same class !!!
The seeds and the framework of their suffering can be found in the story of the white “slaves” who peopled American and West Indies colonies.
The racial card and segregation was played against them, and the white colonists had any mercy for them : Burned alive, Emasculation; Cutting the limbs; Extreme cases of torture …
This is stories they won’t tell you at school, or in Hollywood movies. In order to know a little research process is compulsory…
The “kingdom” of Angola has been created by Portuguese in order to create a slave supply province for their colonies but also for their slave business interests (selling slaves to spanish for instance).
Ndongo later called Angola was only one of the several south provinces of the Congo Kingdom with a congolese Vassal. Kabasa or Mbanza was the capital of the Ndongo Province, the vassal ruler was called Ngola.
The congolese vassal of Congo was controlled by Portuguese but the real king of this created kingdom was the portuguese Paul Diaz and his followers ( ie the Portuguese Governors of Angola) . This criminal portuguese (slave trader) made several plots against the congolese people, he was put in jail for 7 yrs in 1561 ( with 2 portuguese Priests) because he failed one of them.
After this period of 7 yrs in Jail he went back in Portugal. He was appointed Governor of Angola ( which didn’t exist yet ) by his king in April 1574. Since then he prepared an armed expedition to take control of this Congolese province.
Paul Diaz left Lisbon in October 1574 with a portuguese army : 7 ships with 700 Soldiers. The portuguese war of destruction in order to create a new kingdom ( a slave supply province) started.
” …Some slaves were stolen by Europeans ‘panyared’ as the english word was and some as ocurred often in Angola, were the victims of military campaigns mounted specifically by Portuguese proconsuls in order to capture slaves…”
Hugh Thomas, The slave trade (1997) , page 792
“Spanish records report that in mid-july, ‘English corsairs’ waylaid and captured the Portuguese slaver Sao Joao Bautista. She had below decks some 370 Angolans, who had been taken prisoner during Portugal’s bloody war of conquest in Luanda”
Don Jordan and Michael Walsh , White Cargo (2008), Page 87
The general excuse is that Africans sold other Africans which is not the whole truth.
– Europeans specially Portuguese kidnapped first many Azanaghi and others in Africa;
– The first slaves of the Portuguese and specially the Spanish of the new worlds were their white convicts brethen ( Forzados and Lançados) and some Berber or Azanaghi ; You had Berber slaves in Hispaniola (santo domingo), and cuba for instance ( see Michael Gomez , ” Black Crescent)
– Europeans furnished guns to their African allies in order to get slaves, during the political troubles;
– The African rulers who sold their subjects were actually fake kings empowered by their European Allies (Portuguese and French), like the JAGAS of congo. They made slave raids with the portuguese but the very day they rebelled against their masters , they were attacked and sold as slaves in Brazil ( see : Maroon societies by Richard Price)
– Some of the biggest slave traders in Africa were White and Mulattoes like : William Ormond, John Ormond, Faber, Gomez, Lightburn etc
The funny thing is that in historic books , Native Indians rebelled against slavery and preferred to die , it’s a big lie. Native Indians in the Caribbean have been the first slaves of the new world ( Cuba, Jamaica, Hispaniola), Colombus in his 3rd Trip sent 700 hundreds native indians slaves to Spain. See José Antonio Saco “Historia de la esclavitud” or Eric Williams
Nevertheless French and English allowed a Native Indian Slave trade by furnishing guns to their allies, divide and rule this is what they know best. For the Indian slavery see these 2 books:
– Barbara Olexer , ” The enslavement of the American Indian in colonial times”
– Alan Galley , “The Indian Slave Trade”
Nevertheless Africans are the only one deshumanized for supposedly selling their own (remember that there is as much difference between a French and a Spanish than between a Wolof and a Bambara).
Europeans have targeted Africa for their supply demand , in the new world there was :
– Native American and Caribbean slaves : Virgina, Maryland, Hispaniola , Puerto Rico, Cuba, North and South America, Martinique, Guadeloupe
– White slaves : Spanish, Portuguese, French, Danish, Scotts, Irish, White Berbers, Turks, Arabs and Jews ( the laters being result of the inquisition)
– Asian Slaves : Philipinos, Indians, Bengalis, Indian and chinese ‘coolies’ came to replace the blacks after emancipation in Cuba , Jamaica, Barbados, Trinidad etc
And then African slaves.
We’re the only one subject to evil remarks about a supposed intern slave trade….
– English sold english, scots and Irish
– Spanish sold white female slaves for white breeding purpose in Hispaniola
– French sold poor french to their planters in Saint Domingue
– Some native Indians ( same remark : some of them didn’t speak the same language, nor did they share the same culture) sold other native indians to the French in order to get guns…
The only culprits for me are Europeans why ?
– They Planned it
– They Financed it
– They Insured it
– They Furnished the weapon on mass destruction for this purpose ( powder and guns)
– They are the only one who profited hugely for this crime against humanity : Banks, Big Families, Nations, and even their own people because it is well known that the African Slave trade was one of the biggest element which allowed the Industrial revolution (see Inikori).
White trash? Its real, very real! I was there.
Jews dominated the African slave trade, particularly the slave ships. There are videos on YouTube describing Jewish domination of the slave trade.
My Swedish grandfather was sold by his father, to be an apprentice. My other grandfather told me about an old man he knew when he was a boy. The old man showed him the whip scars on his back, from when he was a slave.
Now we are all becoming slaves again, thanks to the Federal Reserve and Bank of International Settlements. “Daddy, what was a union?”
@ Russ Hallberg Jr
> 100% Agree : Slavery has a new form :
– Making people to pay back money which did not exist , just by writing down scriptural money (Bankers) ;
– In Europe Private Banks contract loans with the BCE with 1 % interest, and they lend it to Governements at 6 %, and they “kill” the common people with interest…
– In order to be free Human Beings should just afford what they can pay
– I work myself in an investment banking : The biggest thieves, criminals ever are the Bankers and the Multinationals ( two faces of the same coin)
– Who financed the slave trade ? European/ & American Bankers !!! : LLoyds, Barclays, JP Morgan etc
– Dollars and Euros belong to the bankers not to the USA or European Community
One important thing to note during that sad period (slavery in the New world):
Whipping, Branding, Torturing, Raping etc were already practised during all antiquity in Europe :
– Greece
– Rome
In Greece you had fugitive slave gangs (the first “maroons” of the biggest European slave society with Rome) and in Rome everybody knows Spartacus rebellion.
In Rome the scholars ( Moses Finley) has reported more than 3500000 Slaves…And 99,5 % of them where Europeans because they were mainly Eastern Europeans ( SLAVES)
SCLAVUS (Latin) = SERVUS (Latin) = ESCLAVE (French) = SCLAU (Catalan) = SAQALIBA (Arab) = SLAVE ( English)
During all Antiquity the benchmark for a man/woman without freedom was the Slaves of Eastern Europe.
Slavic people, Scandinavians, French, Anglo-Saxons were sold in France and many of them “prepared” as Eunuchs ( in Verdun / Rouen ), to be sold in Muslim Spain
In Muslim Spain the MAJORITY of the slaves were Europeans , because they were called Saqalibas ( see the foremost authority on Muslim Spain i.e Evariste Levi Provencal and Charles Verlinden). They were sold by the RADHANITES to the Muslims in Spain.
Scholars like José Antonio Saco, Pierre Bonnassié , Marc Bloch , George Duby , Pierre Dockès, Charles Verlinden, Jacques Heers etc will tell you that Europe was a Slave Hunting ground from Antiquity to the 15 th century ( beginning of African Slave Trade)
In Europe the merchant value of a slave was a Beef or a Horse (Loi Salique in French). Sexual relations between a freed woman and a slave was considered as an act of bestiality. But the other way was very common (Freed man and a slave woman)
When Turks blocked the Eastern side of Europe ( with their Big slave markets) , The big slave market of the east was no more accessible. At that time Italians (Venetians, Genoans), Spaniards ( Catalans), Portuguese were the slave traders. This is the reason why Columbus the Fake sailor was looking for a new route towards the Indies : avoiding the Turks…
In the Middle Age, after the reconquista (Christians taking back Muslim Europe). Europeans slaves were still more numerous in Spain, Italy, South of France.
In portugal they were Mainly MOORS slaves. In Spain and Italy you had of course Slavic people, Tartars , Circassians, Sardinia, Guanches (from canaries islands) & Moors slaves ( from Algeria, Tunisia, Morocco).
In Spain and Italy it was mainly females europeans slaves.
The interesting point is that even for these europeans slaves the “system” was already fixed :
– Repression and oppression system : branding, whipping, beating, jails, raping
– Legal system : The European slave was an object or animal, and he also took the surname of his master, he had no legal rights and could be killed for anything
– Insurance for the loss of slaves : many suicides in the boats coming from Eastern Europe or slave revolts
– The Banking system to set up the supply of slaves : organise the travel trip from Italy/ Spain/ Portugal
The slave trade in the 15 th century started from west to east :
> Colombus and his gang of felons sold the Tainos to the slave markets of spain/portugal/cabo verde/canaries to finance the new world Spaniard conquest
> The portuguese did the same with the natives in Brazil who were sold as slaves in the West indies ( Santo Domingo / Puerto Rico) and in Portugal / Cabo Verde etc
The slave trade in the 15 th century started also from East to West in a lesser degree:
> Portuguese (Dutch later) sold Indian/Javanese slaves ( Form India/Bengal/ in Spain/Italy/France
1. They first look and used the conquered people as slaves: Tainos/Arawaks/Caribs , Guanches, Native North Americans, Native South Americans etc
2. They imported white slaves from their own country because the 1st group was dying : Indentured servants
3. They attacked African continent which was a rich and powerful continent : Scholars like William D Phillips will tell you that Europe boosted commercially when they first secured Gold from West Africa (before they conquered the New world)
It’s incredible how they “flipped the script” in our official history, the biggest liars ever and I’m sure that their scholars kno the truth…
Thank you. What a great piece. I feel the point is that these lies and tools of division are still in place today. The ruling class who are still mostly all white, use race and fear to keep the people, all races, separated and distracted. It causes many to overlook the fact that we are all one under the Creator.
