 | | However, according to some writers, the British, in abolishing slavery, were primarily motivated by economic, not humanitarian, interests. | | | The reparations movement was spurred in part by payments to Holocaust victims, to Japanese Americans interned during World War II, and to some Native American tribes. | | | The Security Council in 1954 condemned systems of forced labor, particularly those employed as a means of political coercion. |

| | Jean Bodin (1530–96), the French founder of antislavery thought, for example, condemned the institution as immoral and counterproductive and advocated that no group of men should be excluded from the body politic. | | | They moved onto the continent, took control of those governments that were thriving on slavery, and attempted to abolish the institution. | | | Most groups, whether national or religious, forbade the enslavement of their fellows; thus, the Spanish could not enslave Spaniards, Arabs could not enslave Arabs, and Christians and Muslims could not enslave their coreligionists. |

| | Slavery, now con- fined to a single tract of the civilized earth, attacked by Christianity as unjust and by political economy as prejudicial, and now contrasted with democratic liberty and the intelligence of our age, cannot survive. | | | But the Americans of the South, who do not admit that the Negroes can ever be commingled with themselves, have forbidden them, under severe penalties, to be taught to read or write; and as they will not raise them to their own level, they sink them as nearly as possible to that of the brutes. | | | The electoral franchise has been conferred upon the Negroes in almost all the states in which slavery has been abolished, but if they come forward to vote, their lives are in danger. |

| | When we think through this issue, it is plain that the NT writers simply could not outright condemn slavery (the disastrous results of Spartacus' rebellion [in spite of the Hollywood portrayal] would have been etched in their minds). | | | Johnny: Regarding "as opposed to the the fact that slavery was a socio-economic reality in the ancient world," as I said in my previous post, at a time when most Christians approved of slavery, some Sophists and Stoics did not. | | | Shh...don't remind the Christians that they can't say that slavery wrong in itself. |

| | Christianity and Slavery |
| | After all, Christianity was born into a world where chattel slavery, one person owning another, was the cornerstone of the economy. | | | For the past six years, I and other Christian leaders have been involved in a campaign to bring an end to the murder and enslavement of hundreds of thousands of Christians. | | | And in this country the abolitionist campaign which brought about an end to slavery was led by Christians as well. |

| | A respectable trade? Slavery and the rise of capitalism |
| | The author fails to provide any real explanation for why the trade persisted in the age of freedom and reason except to claim that in the minds of Europeans it was merely a continuation of the traditions of Ancient Greece and Rome. | | | After the war with France began, middle class reformers, of which the abolitionists were a section, had become afraid of raising issues of parliamentary reform lest they be condemned as traitors. | | | Throughout the 800 pages of this book you will not find any discussion of racism, surely a glaring omission given that the era bequeathed us the uniquely modern notion of discriminating against people on the basis of inherited characteristics. |

| | OUP: Jewish Slavery in Antiquity: Hezser |
| | Hezser examines the impact of domestic slavery on the ancient Jewish household and on family relationships. | | | Against the traditional opinion that after the Babylonian Exile Jews refrained from employing slaves, Catherine Hezser shows that slavery remained a significant phenomenon of ancient Jewish everyday life and generated a discourse which resembled Graeco-Roman and early Christian views while at the same time preserving specifically Jewish nuances. | | | The ancient Jewish experience of slavery seems to have been so pervasive that slave images also entered theological discourse. |

| | The Libertarian Case for Slavery* |
| | The racist character of these laws—and of antebellum slavery in general—would have no place in a libertarian society where the freedom contractually to alienate one's labor for any time period would extend to everyone regardless of race, creed, color, or sex. | | | I confess, we find among the Jews, as well as other Nations, that Men did sell themselves; but, 'tis plain, this was only to Drudgery, not to Slavery. For, it is evident, the Person sold was not under an Absolute, Arbitrary, Despotical Power. | | | The voluntaristic principles of liberalism and libertarianism do not entail that the form of government should be democratic. Rousseau saw the analogy with voluntary slavery and tried to respond. |

| | Slavery in antiquity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Under Antoninus Pius, a slave could claim his freedom if treated cruelly, and a master who killed his slave without just cause could be tried for homicide. | | | Slavery in the ancient Mediterranean cultures was a mixture of debt-slavery, slavery as a punishment for crime, and the enslavement of prisoners of war. | | | Many Christian leaders (such as Gregory of Nyssa and John Chrysostom) often called for good treatment for slaves and condemned slavery. |

| | disinformation when david horowitz attacks! are reparations racist? |
| | Horowitz claims that slavery existed for thousands of years, and that there was never an anti-slavery movement until "white Christians — Englishmen and Americans — created one." We will forgive Horowitz, who as a Jew, is a descendent of slaves himself, for ignoring Moses, or for mistakenly thinking that Moses was a British Christian. | | | Slavery was clearly on the way out throughout the world, as labor could be more efficiently organized by freeing people from land (serfs) chattel status (slaves) and freeing them from the burdens of owning their own property (small scale artisans). | | | Horowitz also claims that Affirmative Action programs are a form of reparation. |

| | Abstract forAboriginal Slavery on the Northwest Coast of North America |
| | Thus it is argued that the practice of slavery was central to other, more famous and frequently analyzed Northwest Coast cultural forms such as the potlatch and the spectacular art style and ritual systems that were a significant part of elite activity. | | | Northwest Coast slavery is put into context in two ways: by comparing the status of Northwest Coast slaves with that of war captives in other parts of traditional Native North America, where such captives are found not to have been made slaves; and by considering the place of slavery in the Northwest Coast cultures themselves. | | | In addition, slavery not only supported, it made possible elaborate ranking and stratification systems and allowed the elite of each community to participate in intercommunity elite networks and to dominate both slaves and free persons in their home communities. |

| | The ideology of moral and material progress, coupled with debates over the 'anomaly' of chattel slavery in the New World, also led by the 1840s to the first systematic histories of Greco-Roman slavery and to theories explaining the institution's decline and disappearance from Western Europe. | | | However superficial or filled with Christian moralizing, this nineteenth-century literature recognized the importance and puzzling variations of an institution that has appeared from the time of the first written and ethnographic records and in virtually every part of the world. | | | This interest can be traced from Montesquieu and John Millar in the eighteenth century to Tocqueville, Comte, Marx, Lewis Henry Morgan, Sir Henry Maine, Spencer, E.B. Tylor, Edward Westermarck, William Graham Sumner, and Max Weber. |
