Very true and often an overlooked point. Manumission was regulated in Virginia starting in 1692, it was possible to free an enslaved individual if you paid to transport them out of the colony. This requirement was repealed in 1782 when the law changed to allow manumission for enslaved soldiers who fought in the Revolution or by special consent from the state legislature, which was very rarely granted. On top of this George Washington legally owned only a portion of the enslaved workers at Mount Vernon and many had married with the Custis dower slaves who could not be freed. So legally it was very difficult for the Washingtons to free individuals without breaking up families which Washington was morally opposed to.
@@vapidrabbit198 He was the president, but remember that he couldn't risk breaking the Union at that time because America had just become united through painstaking work that HE put effort into. If you read about the Civil War, you would know that the southern states broke away from the Union and a whole war was fought. George Washington had to preserve the Union. He knew that he couldn't just abolish it because then the southern states will break away and America will fall apart right after it came together. But he was against slavery. In fact, he wrote that he hoped slavery would be abolished in the United States gradually.
If this BS never happen and we treated our Black Brothers from Africa like normal people. Things would be much better today. Who came up with this BS in the first place.
James Johanson, sadly human slavery has been a near constant throughout known recorded history. Source documents show that the first person in America to purchase a black slave was, in fact, a black man. Source documents also show that slaves in America came from parts of Africa, where they were sold to slave traders by fellow black Africans. Additional source documents show that there were white slaves, as well, from places such as Scotland. www.scotsman.com/news/aberdeenshire-boy-sold-to-slavery-and-captured-by-indians-1-4416492 Source documents further reveal that “indentured servants” were frequently treated like slaves, and like other slaves, some had thoughtful masters while others endured cruel masters. The African continent still has places where slavery is legal. And illegal human sex trafficking is growing every day, in large part due to pornography consumers, according to the research. Let us learn from these lessons so that we may avoid repeating them today. Thank you.
Ironically enough, the slave trade was supported by those black brothers from Africa. Slavery was part of Africa, and the rest of the world, since basically forever. They just started selling the slaves outside of Africa somewhere down the line. In fact, there's still slavery in some African countries to this very day. Humanity as a whole came up with slavery, not one race, country or person. Look at how prisoners are treated. How prison labor works. We put people in cells and make them work. Slavery is just an extension of that. Now, the state keeps the criminals locked up. In some parts, the state was controlled by tribal leaders, so those criminals would basically be those tribal leaders' slaves. Some extended this to opposing tribes, they'd all be treated as criminals and made slaves. And some managed to buy these slaves from the state for their own uses. It's an oversimplification of it all, don't think it all went like this 100% of times. But it paints a picture. Just like how prison labor just seems natural to our current society at large, people in past looked at this all horrific trafficking of human beings as "natural." And some countries in Africa still think it as natural.
The nation came into being in 1776. Slavery was outlawed on paper in 1817. A war was fought to enforce that law in 1864. - even though, by that time there were twice as many freed slaves as were still enslaved. The South WAS dragging their feet in freeing the remainder because of over taxation by the North, effecting the Southern state's economic bottom line.
Now that was the transatlantic slave trade meaning no more bring them here you could still participate in slavery just couldn't traffic them anymore. And we didnt become a nation officially 1776 that came a few years later buddy in 1783 with the treaty of Paris we became one under a group of basic principles. Because before that each of the thirteen colonies became States and the states made up the federal government the federal government wasn't a thing before the states and the states have the right to secede from this Union if they do not agree with how the country is going. Our history is complicated just like when you hear politicians say we're a democracy no we are constitutional republic no where does in the pledge of allegiance does it say democracy but does say Republic. Stay informed my friend.
@@ednakelley814I think he meant like bring slaves over to America😂 that sounds about right but i do know there was a civil war about 60 61 years after Washington died.
@Jordan Works Coward? I’m not a coward. And good job bringing race into it which is nothing but a side show. See you don’t know that because you’re too deluded and controlled by the Democratic Party. All propaganda.
If your parents was taken into slavery and the kids were born into slavery and told that they were nothing and they were not even humans and treated as such, didn't have any constitutional rights, not even allowed to read. you don't think this have an implication on your children today? you don't think this has a bearing on their financial future? Those that were enslaved were denied wealth creation. Even after slavery, when the descendants of the descendants of the Moors tried to create wealth in their own communities, it was burned to the ground by white's, and the government stood by and allowed it to happen! shut up!! Just imagine if the playing field was even. it'll be a totally different race! We will rise again.

Listen...... The only thing that matters is what happened in 1790 George Washington became president in 1789 not 1776 Firstly this commentary is jumping around in years and going backwards and forwards and backwards and forwards This was the greatest treachery done to mankind in history... Even though we fought side-by-side together and had cities and communities of nations and tribes native Americans African-Americans in European Americans.... The original United States Naturalization Law of March 26, 1790 (1 Stat. 103) provided the first rules to be followed by the United States in the granting of national citizenship. This law limited naturalization to immigrants who were "free white person[s] ... of good character". It thus excluded Native Americans, indentured servants, slaves, free blacks and later Asians, although free blacks were allowed citizenship at the state level in certain states. Sleaze understand the terrible things that happen after the law was passed that was never recorded or ever talked about Free people were taken his property and probably was taken from three people all over the nation and no one could do anything about it
These clips on American slavery are full of white Americans claiming that everybody accepted slavery at that time. WRONG! Slavery in England had ended after the Norman Conquest, and the idea had been abhorrent for centuries to British people except for the tiny minority who, much later, benefitted from it, such as the Virginia colonists.
@@jcrew102 You are conflating a number of different things here. Slavery was common in England under the Anglo-Saxon rulers (and probably also the Danes) but died out under the Normans. For centuries there were no home-born slaves in England. It was commonly held that there was no slavery in England, both by the general public and by various judges including Sir William Blackstone. However other judges held that slaves brought to England were not automatically freed, on differing grounds. The nobility and gentry profited greatly from African slavery, and many slaves were held at ports such as Bristol and Liverpool during transit to the colonies. As you say, there WERE slaves in England, but the institution of slavery was not generally accepted, whatever the judges said. That was what I was talking about, the general acceptance of slavery. The legal situation was more clear-cut in France, where slavery and serfdom had been abolished by royal proclamations in 1315 and 1318, yet there were a few slaves at seaports in later centuries and merchants came to take part in the transatlantic slave trade in a large way until the revolutionaries abolished slavery again in 1794. Napoleon reinstated it from 1804 to 1815. Again ordinary French people who gained nothing personally from it did not accept slavery as an institution.

That would have been more trouble than it was worth. It might have caused a Civil War long before the American Civil War started. Such a young nation, which had just switched to a brand new form of government, would not have survived a Civil War. America was a far weaker then than it was in 1861.
The country became a nation in 1776. Washington became president in 1789. Slavery was outlawed on paper in 1817. A war was fought to enforce that law in 1864.
Yes Washington abolished slavery and then the south would become independent because the new government couldn’t afford a war with the south at the time. So by being ignorant on history him doing that actually means the south remains a slave state for longer.
I cant watch this video . The sounds in the background and echo is too much!!
The reason that freeing some slaves meant separation was because most of the freed slaves would be required by law to immediately leave the state.
