Quote from Lyle:
"Your statement that the "conditions of actual slavery were much
harsher than the conditions of colonialism" has been shown not
necessarily true, if you take from it the legal basis for slavery with
all that meant. One wonders how many poor colonists came to death by
starvation, deprivation, overwork, etc. There was no master around to
ensure basic survival as there was under the peculiar institution."
Lyle,
You almost got me on that one! What a tickle to my funny bone!
