Slavery

Why no third option: "Right Mr Jefferson, this plantation is now an anarcho-syndicalist collective. Here's your hoe"?

Should Old Mack remain Lab Rats slave...that is the real question of my today !

Free people can still be slaves, just not in the conventional sense.

praise the lord, i'm free.......

Since this thread is about Thomas Jefferson's slaves, I assume this alludes to Sally Hemmings. I think the record will show that Sally's position in the Jefferson household was second to none, and she could never have found anything comparable as a freewoman.

I have to say that I've never heard of the lady. That, in itself, might be significant.

Would this be an accurate biographical sketch, at all?:

Gold coast slave ship bound for cotton fields,
Sold in a market down in new orleans.
Scarred old slaver know he's doin alright.
Hear him whip the women just around midnight.
Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a young girl should
A-huh.

Drums beating, cold english blood runs hot,
Lady of the house wondrin where it's gonna stop.
House boy knows that he's doin alright.
You should a heard him just around midnight.
Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a black girl should
A-huh.

I bet your mama was a tent show queen, and all her boy
Friends were sweet sixteen.
Im no schoolboy but I know what I like,
You should have heard me just around midnight.

Ah brown sugar how come you taste so good
(a-ha) brown sugar, just like a young girl should.

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said
Oh just like a, just like a black girl should.

I said yeah, I said yeah, I said yeah, I said
Oh just like, just like a black girl should.
