Thanks for this information. Every time I hear its the 1980s that slavery truly ended my heart bleeds. Not just on paper but in real life. Something truly has to be done to pay at least the families that were still on record in the 80s on these types of "plantations".

No, long after they were free they had the choice of doing what they wanted to.

Slavery wasn’t started by American of the US. It began with Arabs Africans some Portuguese and has actually always been since beginning of civilization. It is a tragedy indeed. Ignorance and greed and No compassion are the culprit. Fortunately as we progress we become aware of compassion for humanity and creation of all kind.

Actually the earliest know slavery began in the Iran//Iraq regions dating back 6000- 2000 BC and still exist in parts of the world today.In America the part that is different and put Whites on a higher plane is when they came over on the ships from other countries they were given acres and acres of land for free. Blacks were given nothing but enslavement. So it goes to explain why they monopolize the wealth we worked and supplied them with. They did not know how to cultivate the land and even dying out and the Africans saved them from certain death. If blacks were given land proportionately as whites with same life rights this American would look much different today. The white neither purchased their land nor worked it to bring wealth to this country. It was on the backs of slave labor and handouts of 160 acres to anyone to come to farm the land with congress homestead act of 1862. While blacks on paper said to be eligible land offered to them were not suitable to farm like swamps they couldn’t afford the fee to apply or buy needed seeds etc because they had were forced to work for free. They were also threatened by whites with violence etc. The same issues that affected blacks from voting, legal representation, sharing space etc even though the constitution said they had right to do so. This is why 200 plus years later they still own very little

Indentured servants up until 1975. Crazy they wee charged for living on a land they cultivated, built for and raised money for owners who were given the land free. Their owners just came over on different boats. None were naive of this land, none.
