White slaves of the ante-bellum South

[referendum]

While researching the politically incorrect topic of Black slaveowners of the old South, I discovered references to another forgotten historical fact, the White slaves of the South. Basically, these were people with one eighth or one sixteenth African blood, who were still slaves because their one- fourth or one -eighth (or whatever the case was) black mother was a slave. I did find one photo of some such people, and there were some ads for runaway white slaves. Anyway, this is another intresting aspect of slavery that is mostly forgotten today.

(Whiter looking) Quadroons, Octoroons and Quinteroon slave children were used as propaganda tools to get northern people up in arms about slavery. I think the whole reason why Octoroons or less were still kept as slaves instead of emancipated was a money issue a slave who was physically young and healthy was worth a lot of money in 19th century dollars. Also in virtually all cases these children could have become social problems for slave owners as virtually all were the product of an owners relationship with a slave and not two slaves mating. http://arollingcrone.blogspot.ca/2012/03/white-slave-children-of-new-orleans-why.html

My homegirl and the first woman senator, Rebecca Felton, wrote that this was one of the main reasons why the abolitionists were able to portray the South in such a negative light.

I subscribe to the one drop rule. I don't care what part negro they are, it only takes one drop and they are a full fledged negro with the potential to pollute a genetic lineage they come into contact with.

But yes, there were many white slaves in the early Americas. White Irish slaves, and indentured servants. I despise negroes probably more than anyone else, but I still think slavery was an evil crime. The moon crickets should have been shipped back to Africa and left to their own devices.

While there has been some historical references of Irish enslaved in colonial America the main geographical area of Irish enslavement was the Caribbean. Montserrat is one of only a handful of countries that celebrate St. Patrick's day as a national holiday. This is due to the large percentage of Irish descendants in the population. In fact, most Montserratans spoke Irish Gaelic until early 1900s. During the Cromwellian campaign in Ireland many Irish rebels and stubborn landowners and tenants were rounded up and sent to the Caribbean to work alongside African slaves on English owned plantations. Jamaica also received a sizeable proportion of Irish slaves. The Jamaican and Caribbean accents are believed to have originated from the Irish accent. It is far from uncommon to see street names with Irish surnames.

From the 16th to the 19th centuries it is estimated that between 1 million and 1.25 million Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and Barbary Slave Traders and sold as slaves during this time period. Barbary pirates were based on that coast of North Africa – what is now Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya. Reports of Barbary raids and kidnappings of those in Italy, Spain, France, Portugal, and the UK and Ireland and as far north as Iceland and the fate of those abducted into slavery in North Africa and the Ottoman Empire

This is only internet chatter but if you go by that logic then President Kennedy was married to a Quinteroon. Supposedly Jackie Kennedy is the descendant of a Melungeon with a Dutch surname....http://carlanthonyonline.com/2012/0...nnedys-family-secrets-the-lie-her-mother-told

Here is an interesting case. Sally Miller http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sally_Miller was freed when Louisiana judges ruled she was White. Allegation was that an indenture servant German girl was orphaned during her indentured period and was never freed and her master claimed she was black. These were Southern Judges who would have seen many mixed race individuals and would not have been easily fooled. These Judges stood on honor and ruled what they truly believe which cost them their jobs.

Basically, there undoubtedly were masters who would take a White child, an orphan or one who was spirited away, and claim that the child is a light skinned black since slaves were worth a fortune. Also, did all master free their White slaves? What about an Irish slave breed by her White master and the child in turn breed by a White master and so on, you could have a few pure White slave left several generations later. It would not surprise me if a majority of those "White" slaves weren't in fact White.

I have seen blacks that blacks don't believe are black and they think that can pass for White, but White can easily tell they aren't White. Let's face it only a very tiny of blacks can pass and many that they believe can can't.

There is a panic whenever White slaves are talked about so the egalitarians try to claim that there were no White slaves and what were called White slaves were really light skinned blacks or indenture servant. Just another dirty secret of history that the "antiracist" want to buried.

As for the Melungeon, there are so many different groups who get that label and the results of testing are all over the place some come out as pure White, some as White Indian mixed and some as black White and/or Indian mixed. The black/White mixed is what they talk about because that is politically correct today but probably a very tiny number and who know if the scientist got the DNA right it could be European DNA that ended up in Africa especially if it is found in both areas and only a small part of Africa. Don't forget that Whites were once in Northern Africa and they could have let DNA traces in sub-Saharan Africa especially if it is in the Northern Part. In time, what we are told about DNA may not be what is discovered later
