@ThatEricAlper@BeckiLewis Read Duke of York: Father of America’s Slave Society. It represents an accurately vivid depiction of American slavery. It presents detailed first-hand accounts derived from slave narratives enabling slaves and former slaves to speak in their own words directly to you today.
I apologize for my lengthy delay. I am continuing to undergo medical procedures. They demand my primary attention right now. I have a genuine hope of returning to Twitter to publish information about the horrors of American slavery. Thank you for your patience!
@freekev22@MarvinDunn4 Thank you for this information. Slavery in Florida was different. Florida welcomed many escaped slaves and armed them in a militia. I have a long recovery ahead of me, so it will be a while before I am active.
For those who may wonder why I am not tweeting much, I am recuperating from a complex and invasive medical procedure. I doubt that I can reactivate quickly. It will be several more weeks.
While slavery apologists argue that “slavery was a long time ago,” remember this: Slavery was only two lifetimes ago. A person who is 82 this year was born in 1940. A person who was 82 in 1940 was born in 1858, before the Civil War and during slavery. @EdwardDoten

In Germany, teaching the Holocaust is mandatory. It includes visits to concentration camp, museums, etc. They don’t shy away from their own ugly history. Yet the kids aren’t damaged; they’re strengthened, matured, humbled. US needs to do same re slavery. Not that complicated.
@TheCountryBoys Yes. They are not at all the same. My great, great, great etc. etc. grandfather Edward Doten, who came on the Mayflower, was such an “indentured servant.” He was not nearly a “slave.” Those are very different. He was freed after several years, bought land, and conducted business.

1/8 In the Nineteenth Century, slavery’s fiercest advocates began to assert that slavery not only was a needed labor system, but was actually a positive good, with beneficial impacts upon the slaves.
