Here is what I meant by “slavery” …

In the not-so-good old days, slavery was temporary to a harvest, to a person, to a village. “I won over you as my enemy, so you are now my slave for the next harvest.“

Then came (Spanish, Anglo, and Portugues) to the Americas, and slavery was industrialized. It was generationally. y’know, like cows.

And these were not the result of won battles, these slaves were imported mostly from West Africa. The Spanish, the English, and the Portuguese made a lot of money this way.

But there differeces,

• The Portuguese in Brazil kept villages together.
• The Spanish kept families together.
• The US did not care for villages of families, they sold each enslaved person to the highest bidder.

Regardless, families and villages were broken over time in all territories. For example, women and children were sold individually.

Slavery Made Illegal

Then Europeans made slavery illegal and eventually the “business” stopped.</em>

In the US a war was fought instead between the old-fashioned slaver Southern States and the wage-slaver Nortern States. In fact, the Northern States did not see it as slavery and called it “freedom,” because it applied to Africans and Europeans who were enslaved to their survival. In fact, Fiat owners were ‘saviors’ by offering a job.

The system has been so efective that it continues to this day (and will probably last longer).
