      Arabs enslaved White Europeans up until the 18oo's. Slavery was the norm during most of history and is still practiced in some African countries even today. Slavery on an industrial scale did not arise until the invention of the cotton gin in the early 1800's by Eli Whitney. That set off a cotton "gold rush" to acquire negros. It was short-lived but devastating. We will be punished unto 100 generations because we were Christians and knew better. That just shows how greed will always triumph over religion.

Due to the forced relationship on slave women by slave owners, it's likely that you also have European ancestry. In addition, note that having some African ancestry doesn't necessarily mean you will be classified as Black in Africa. Of course, anyone is likely to be accepted in most places if he has enough money and/or political influence.

It’s amazing because the enslaved’s population in North America compared to other countries that held plantations for African enslavement, differed greatly due to how they imported the enslaved, gender of whom they kidnapped, birth mortality rate, climate, and disease that were much more rampant and prevalent in those humid areas. So, it is definitely a wonder. However, it is horrible that Africa and some countries are affected more by climate change and hot temperatures because of other leading countries in gas emission.

    I grew up in Gainesville in the 1960's. In fact we rented one of the red brick homes on 17th Street the main entrance to the University of Florida. The homes were owned by Mrs. Stringfellow. I went to school with her granddaughter. I knew the Chestnut family. In fact I was almost related to them by marriage. Black folks were almost invisible back then. My parents managed the Gainesville Nursing Center out in the boonies out on SW 19th Ave. There was a very small settlement of Black folks living on what would be the busy SW 20th Ave. I imagine these folks had been there since slavery days. This video truly brings back memories. You did a fantastic job.

      4 Yea, and what have ye to do with me, O TYRE, and ZIDON, and all the coasts of PALESTINE? will ye render me a recompence? and if ye recompense me, swiftly and speedily will I return your recompence upon your own head;
      5 Because ye have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried into your temples my goodly pleasant things:
      6 The CHILDREN also of JUDAH and the CHILDREN of JERUSALEM HAVE YE SOLD UNTO the GRECIANS, that ye might remove them far from their border.

    Beautifully told story. As a kid growing up in South Carolina, I was always intrigued by Florida and was fortunate to be stationed there twice during my military service. Sure, there are pockets where feelings for Black people are less than welcoming, but that does not diminish the state's rich history. I hope to return one day and visit many of the historic places.

I recall the one my great grandmother lived in before moving to DC. That old house only had three or four rooms. Floors made of board. The walls laid with newspaper. Roof was made of tin. And the windows of board. Wish i could walk that old house today. Of course, it has long been torn down.

If you go back to your great, great grandparents there are 16, go to your sixth great grandparents there are 256. Reaching your eighth great grandparents the figure is 1,024.

    Freedom in Spanish Florida
    The part of Florida held by the Spanish, south of St. Mary's River, became a destination for escaped slaves. To antagonize the British both militarily and economically, Spain welcomed slaves from the British territory, declared them free and set up the first free, all black settlement, Fort Mose, north of St. Augustine in 1738.
