My proposed nation-state would require a vast rewrite of American history. I’ve already given this some thought and the rewrite would start off with something like this …
In 1663, Charles II, the restored King of England, granted the charter of the colony of Carolina to eight of his loyalist friends, the Lords Proprietor, giving each of them 96,000 acres following the demise of Oliver Cromwell’s Puritan dictatorship.
In the year 1670, a group of planters and settlers called the “Barbadian Adventurers” set sail aboard the Carolina from the Caribbean island of Barbados, which delivered 130 English emigrants, the Founding Fathers of South Carolina (and by extension, the Deep South), to the site of Albemarle Point, where they founded Charles Towne.
With the blessing of the Lords Proprietor, a “Barbados Proclamation” was issued to encourage the settlement of South Carolina by Barbadian colonists, “Now for the Expedition in settling of the said province and encouragement of all manner of people that have a desire to transport themselves, servants, negroes or utensils the Lords proprietors of the province of Carolina hath provided the Carolina frigate aforesaid for the transportation of the said people who will depart this island.”
Thus, with the sanction of royal authority, the master race set sail from the Caribbean to bring to North America the blessings of plantation slavery, and a society based on the hierarchical principle of racial inequality and the subordination of natural slaves to natural masters.
From this small beachhead in Charles Towne, a distinct people with their own unique Caribbean racial customs would spread across the Lower South, along the shores of the Gulf of Mexico from South Carolina to Texas, winning its independence in the American Revolution, only to lose it to the tyrant Abraham Lincoln during the War Between the States.
Like the Greeks and Romans before us, who as conservative slaveowners were greatly admired in the Old South, and whose classical republican form of government we assumed, our people also settled other lands – Barbados, Jamaica, the Leeward Islands, Grenada, Tobago, St. Vincent, Dominica, Guyana, the Bahamas and Bermuda – which were unnaturally severed from our mainland colonies as a result of the American Revolution. Most of those who objected to the American Revolution in South Carolina and Georgia would resettle there.
These Norman-Caribbean royalists really DID “bring to North America the blessings of plantation slavery”!
Unfortunately, they failed to anticipate winding up in the Union, and then what would occur within the Union.
Hunter,
this narrative is already making its way into the historical reflections I have with my daughters. So, most importantly I want to say thank you and please continue your research. You can’t imagine the impact on future generations. I however take a different spin on slavery: the curses outweighed the blessings. In how many historical cases can we find the enslaved overpowering their masters. Self-sufficiency is the virtue I recommend to them. For white examples I turn to the hearty Scotch Irish: their large families, independent Presbyterianism, and refusal tolerate the savage of any color.
I am convinced that the English Barbadian ancestors would have lost control of their slaves without the unionist intervention. But I think I detect a hope or belief in you that the nature of the savage could have been bent to profitable work in the long term. Am I right? The evidence just doesn’t seem to be there.
Thanks for every post.
The blacks weren’t doing so bad when America had industry and American factories wer humming along.
There was a sustantial black middle class and they kept their own criminals in check(for the most part). They had a vested interest in doing so.
The blacks today are responding to the destruction of the USA in general. The blacks didn’t cause the destruction of America.
My white Christian race was supposed to be the guardians and gate-keepers of the country, but as a collective whole, we have failed miserably.
hind sight is 20-20. these problems were not foreseen, just like we in the here and now are creating problems for our descendants or failed to foresee problems in our own lives.
Doesn’t take any hindsight to see that the policies of the last 50-60 years coming out of Washington were disastrous. Alot of americans supported the policies to make a quick buck. There’s no way of getting around that.
Everything was foreseen 50-60 years ago, but the great majority turned a blind eye to it all, nonetheless, in order to make a quick profit.
All those who were opposed to the policies during the last 50-60 years were pushed aside and ignored and ridiculed by the great majority of americans.
Joe: They weren’t doing so bad when there was Jim Crow and Segregation and Whites kept them in check. There are 50 plus black nations in this world, and they all reflect the collective capability and genius of the black civilization.
I agree with you 100% that several generations of white Americans dropped the ball…actually they didn’t drop it, they gave it to the opposing team and walked off the field.
yep which is why I don’t much care for the so called greatest generation as a group. But really it started a long time before them too.
My 60’s generation were/are bigger f*ck-ups than the greatest generation even, which is saying alot.
Total selfishness from my “do your own thing” generation.
Those of us from my 60’s generation should bow our collective head in disgrace for the lousy inheritance we passed on to the children today.
I post this for any reader of the 60’s generation who may be surfing around and come across “OD”.
I’ll be glad to take on anyone who disagrees with me about this.
I don’t agree, Joe, that the Baby Boomers were worse than the “Greatest Generation”. The GG laid the foundations for modern liberal democrazy America. They pulled all the strings during the 60’s, and did not stand up to that generation of punks and commies.
I’m say the boomers suck because their parents fell for the lies, but those lies go back a long way too. 1820 or so from what I can tell. marx and his ideas have been around for a very long time
