Slavery Reparations
Documented but overlooked & escaping generations of history books is the fact that the first "cargo" of 20 Africans to land in the future U.S.A. arrived at Jamestown,VA known to generations of American Schoolchildren as the first permanent English Settlement in America aboard a Dutch man-of-war in August of 1619.
These American captives had been taken off a Spanish Slave Ship en route to Spains colonies by a group of pirates who preyed on Spanish slave & treasure ships. Strange how the same books that hail the glorious consequences of the opening of the House of Burgesses in Jamestown neglects to mention this part of history.
And lets not forget the Europeans & Portugals part in Slavery..among many others.
We hear alot about the South being the evil in this practice but history is so distorted on this issue..just alot of lies & myths mixed in with a few truths.
Europe called The Africans-Black Ivory..Spain dominated the slave trade for a 100 years..then the Dutch for 50 years..then the English,who got the exclusive right to supply slaves to Spains colonies in 1713.
So if reparations are made..lets go ALL the way back to the truth of Slavery..and hold EVERYONE & EVERY Country involved responsible.
