Sowell’s materials are quite compatible with mine. Slavery is well and alive, except the slaves are now expected to take care of themselves. Do they?
Only about 1.5% of Americans had slaves during the (un)Civil War, and some of the slaveholders1 happened to be blacks, but “native Americans” also participated in the slave trade. Strangely, it’s hard to find images of white slaves on the Internet.
Most people must be unaware that the last workhouse in Britain closed its door only in 1948. However, that was only one of the four versions of white slavery. If you have the time, the following 74 pages can give you details you probably haven’t known before. The document clearly demonstrates that the attitude the rich is representing to the poor didn’t start with today’s technocrats. It also shows man’s inconceivable and generously creative methods of imposing cruelty on their fellow humans. Finally, you can find out how white slavery preceded black slavery, how it was so debasing that later even black slaves looked down on poor whites even on the few who survived decades-long servitude and moved to desolate places to eke out a miserable existence.

Heaven forbid, even some of the “Founding Fathers” had slaves, and Lincoln wanted to send blacks to Africa, a plan that failed because nobody wanted to finance it, and at the time, the Federal Government was not welcome to use the taxpayer’s money, because the IRS only started a few months after The Federal Reserve Act of 1913, when Americans supposedly agreed to issue the USD as a loan to themselves at an interest from a private bank, The Federal Reserve.
