Enslaved Series Part 2 of 8.

Slave Nation: Euro-American Enslavement 1495 to Jim Crowe. Livestream Program with Edward J. Ingebretsen.

Slave Nation: Euro-American enslavement and its development via Anglo-Caribbean / Colonial, 1495 – late Jim Crow United States.

Pictured Above, Sally Hemings, half sister to Martha, Jefferson’s, Thomas Jefferson’s wife. He began a relationship (?) with her when she was 14. She arrived as an infant, a part of Martha’s Dowry. She bore him 5, 6 children, whom he 1) never acknowledged and 2) never freed. This will be a focus of the program.

The “Enslaved” series of 8 presentations will examine: 1) the broad European beginnings (in philosophy and material practice) of the transatlantic slaver empires; 2) the developing commodity practice of selling humans, from its islands and Latin American beginnings, to the English colonies and the eventual States and beyond; 3) the interlocking system of law and practical enslavement, Indigene as well as Black, upon which an empire of wealth and death established itself; 4) after 1774 the structural dependency of State economies (North and South) on the selling of black bodies; 5) the forms of active and passive resistance to the colonizers and the rise of the stateless; 6) and finally, the defining in law and through cultural practice, of the caste of legal Whiteness in Anglo-colonial society. These interconnected narratives bring us to the present political scene in the US: the development of a raced (White) Ethnostate.
