Turns out English monarchs funded their reigns with slave trade profits. William III and Mary II got shares in the Royal African Company, and Queen Anne secured a monopoly to supply enslaved people to South America via the Asiento de Negros. #history #slavery

For 270 years, 12 British monarchs were linked to the slave trade, from Elizabeth I sponsoring John Hawkins' voyages to James I granting monopolies. While King Charles III and Prince William have expressed sorrow, the Crown's central role remains largely unacknowledged. #history #slavery

Royal hypocrisy on slavery: George III penned anti-slavery essays as a teen, yet supported the trade. His successors continued this pattern, even violently suppressing rebellions and opposing abolition. The crown's silence and actions delayed emancipation for years. #history #slavery

Federal authorities determined that Margaret and her family were fugitives subject to rendition, and they were returned to slavery rather than allowing the Ohio murder prosecution to keep Margaret within the free state.

Faced with the prospect of seeing her children taken back into slavery, Margaret seized a knife and killed her young daughter.

She also attempted to kill her other children before the officers stopped her.

Under the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850, however, crossing into a free state did not make an escaped enslaved person safe.

Slave catchers and U.S. marshals discovered where they were hiding and surrounded the house.

Margaret Garner escaped from slavery in Kentucky with her husband Robert, their children, and several relatives.

Taking advantage of bitter winter weather, the group crossed the frozen Ohio River and reached Cincinnati.

Did you know?

In the Victorian era, an enslaved woman who killed her own daughter rather than allow her to be returned to slavery became the center of a legal battle in which being prosecuted for murder could actually have offered her a chance at freedom?

Many enslaved men shared a small number of common English names, making their histories harder to trace. For example, there were 29 men called Richard on John Tharp's #Jamaican plantations buff.ly/KWDc8O5

Enslaved people were sometimes named for the wealth they represented to their enslavers. For example, an African-born man on John Tharp's Potosi plantation was given the name Rent

AI will never have a goal to wipe out humans.

Humans are too 'handy' to waste. Basically, made out of meat and with full independent compute power they can run without fuel for weeks if they stay hydrated.

Like fiber, humans will be a part of the new silicon paradigm.
