More of the forgotten history of white slaves: a Thanksgiving remembrance

Another Chapter in the Forgotten History of the Enslavement of Whites

By Michael Hoffman

One chapter in the history of the white slaves of Britain who were shipped to America, is found in the annals of 17th century England. After the Duke of Monmouth’s unsuccessful 1685 rebellion against Catholic King James II, thousands of captured  rebels who were not tortured to death or hanged were sold as Protestant slaves to the New World for £10 to £15 each. They were slaves, not “indentured servants.”

The enslavement of whites in the western hemisphere (and later in Australia), is concealed by dishonest or lazy "historians" under euphemisms such as "convict" or "servant." Monmouth's men were neither. In most cases these captive Protestants endured chattel slavery unto death in the West Indies and colonial America.

The sale of these white slaves was instigated by the infamous tyrant, Lord Justice George Jeffreys, who presided over the "Bloody Assizes," trials during which he pardoned wealthy rebels (such as Edmund Prideaux), in return for astronomical bribes costing hundreds of thousands of pounds (in today's money). He offered others for sale as slaves.

"White skin privilege"? Historian Alfred F. Havighurst observes that in 1685 Jeffreys operation ..attracted little attention and few, if any, expressions of horror or pity" (69 Law Quarterly Rev. 522, 527 [1953]).

Slaves have been made of every race since the dawn of history. No race and few nations are innocent when it comes to the history of enslavement. Media propaganda singling out white people as the most vicious, or the principal perpetrators, is a type of mental genocide intended to instill self-loathing in whites. 

The fallacy that whites were not slaves in any noteworthy operation of enslavement is particularly perverse in light of the fact that the very word slave is derived from the name of the East European white person (Slav). The Slavs endured repeated enslavement in the Middle Ages.

As a politically correct, cartoon version of the First Thanksgiving in Plymouth, Massachusetts gains currency in November, with the Native Americans as saints and the Pilgrims as devils, it is worth recalling that among history's most relentless and cruel enslavers were the Native Indians of America and Mexico, who, like the British aristocracy, had little mercy on their own kind. 

The enslavement of American Indians by American Indians was the engine of transformation of the Great Plains, before any white civilization was a significant force there. The Commanche, for example, eradicated whole Apache villages. Those Apache they did not kill in the course of their eradication, they enslaved. The major Commanche-operated slave market was  located in what is now New Mexico. Horses, buffalo hides and slaves were the main source of Commanche revenue. The kingdom that this Native American slave power built extended from Arkansas south to Mexico. 

We learn little of this history because it undercuts the Hate Whitey and Blame Whitey racism entrenched in America's schools and news media. The pity of it is that the foremost fomenters of anti-white racism are themselves whites who regard the expression of gratitude toward the Pilgrim founders of America as a species of despicable perversity.

Happy Thanksgiving.
