[QUOTE]Originally posted by First of Two: [QB] [QUOTE] They lived in small wooden cabins, with dirt floors, which were drafty and hard to keep clean. A Polish visitors described these cabins as "more miserable than the cottages of our peasants. [/QUOTE] Which makes them the equal of nearly every house on the then frontier. (this WAS the 18th century, remember?) My great great great great great grandfather lived in such a house. Civilized? No. Livable? Yes. [QUOTE] I'm forceably removed from freedom and from my family. I'm sold into chattel and raced based slavery. I'm kept out of the education system. I'm kept out of the political system. I'm kept out of the dominate cultural arena in a systemic way that precludes any advancement on my part. I owe the system so much for that treatment that I should work for free another 20 years. THAT'S entirely EQUATIBLE isn't IT. NO, that is profoundly stupid. [/QUOTE] Well, except for point two, [which isn't quite as valid as you think it is, for reasons I shall enumerate later] You've described the situation of most of the WHITE people who came to the country, as well. Indentured servitude. People sentenced to "transportation." Georgia was a penal colony, remember? [/QB][/QUOTE]
