Without the endless labor of Black People this country would not exist! WILL WE BE NEXT TO BE SOLD AGAIN ON THE OPEN MARKET LIKE IN LYBIA? HUMAN CHATTEL IS BEING SOLD IN MODERN DAY AFRICA BY ARABS IN LYBIA! FOR BODY PARTS
The American Slave Code In Theory and Practice: Its Distinctive Features Shown by Its Statutes, Judicial Decisions, and Illustrative Facts,(LABOR OF SLAVES pp.133)by WILLIAM GOODELL.
Henry Clay , in a conversation with James G. Birney, expressed a belief contrary to his former impressions) that at the far South, the births among slaves were not equal to the deaths. He related what he had heard and believed, that an overseer in Louisiana worked his hands so closely, that one of the women brought forth a child while engaged in the labors of the field. He was also told of a plantation containing from twenty to thirty young women in the prime of life, and the properitor told him there had not been a child born among them for the last two or three years, although they all had husbands.
He said We have before us much more testimony to the same point; also, to the fact that the slaves are commonly obliged to work from daylight until dark, or as long as they can see. Everybody here in Natchez, Mississippi, knows overdriving to be one of the most common occurrences. The Planters do not deny it , except perhaps to Northerners.
