Albany Mulls an Apology for Slavery

Submitted by AaronGuyton, Apr 13, 2007 16:04

For some reason there is afew people,still want to downplay Slavery,

and as i look at this newpaper in the event section of Lo.Hud i see about 6or7 events base on the Holocaust,and last month there was a film fest base on the Holocaust. Then there are the Lectures,Programs Concerts,FilmFest,i hope you get the point.

NewYork was know as "KINGCOTTON" it was and still is a hub when it comes to the market of Trade/Stocks and so on,and under the British Rule in 1712 the demand for labor/cheap labor was well in demand.In 1812 a 100 years after the British Rule and the colony of New,York join other States that form what we know now as America,the state of NewYork stated, that due to the role that Black's played in the" 1812" war that the State will grant them Freedom. That did'nt come to pass untill 1827? There's a Hey Day that was short lived. By1860 the "Liberator" explained "How the Irish became White" and before that took place you had the "FugitiveSlaveLaws of 1850" and before the CivilWar which was base on Commerce/Vote's and also Industrial Revolution that was taken shape as well.

Turning Plantation's into Factory's and" Slave Qaurters' into Project's and that's like turning the dollar into plastic then to cyberspace?

Trace the history of Windsor,the Hudsonbay company,the London company,the Virginia company the Dutchwest indies company the Private Bank of NewYork and others.

This thing call Slavery touch's me and my family in all forms,and on all fronts let's do the rigth thing

and accept the facts and documents that list Humans as Cargo ect.
