My grandparents on my father’s side were descended from white slaves—English orphans sold to French Canadians as domestic servants.

My grandparents on my mother’s side were split between a clan of German entrepreneurs who migrated in the 1870s and my oldest American ancestor, an Irish slave who was ‘bound over’ on the Ark or the Dove, the ships of Lord Baltimore that founded the Maryland colony.

The mother of my children came from Appalachian stock. Her people had originally been shipped over as slaves from Cornwall England, sold to Quaker land prospectors by a Judge. The early history of Appalachia was one of escaped slaves fleeing to live free in the mountains away from their masters.

By the 1700s slave owners were buying black slaves shipped from Africa, arming them as militia, and using them to hunt the “hillbillies” who had fled or revolted. Small wars were fought, at least 3 in 17th Century Virginia. Eventually the entire edifice of stark brutality that had been designed to break and brutalize the English, Scottish and Irish children sold into colonial slavery for life, was used for the holding of African slaves, whose children, unlike those born to white slaves, could be enslaved and sold.

Below are two indexes of articles on this site concerning the subject: one dealing directly with white slavery, the other black slave narratives that corroborate the institution of white slavery in colonial America, which is currently denied by all parties, all races, and most academics. Race-mixer or racist, white or black, liberal or conservative, libertarian or authoritarian—it serves no interest group in our great cancerous nation to admit the truth in this matter. I am currently still scratching the surface and will hopefully provide much more in the future.
