Review # 1 was written on 2009-04-03 00:00:00 Steven Grinolds One of the biggest excuses blacks use to explain their communities collective failure is how the white man enslaved them. Black slavery is one of the biggest topics in American public schools as it is used to instill a sense of guilt in whites. The topic of black slavery is also used to enrage blacks and make them feel like their “owed” something by whites. It also seems give a lot blacks a slave mentality where they have no desire to bring themselves up and are happy living off social programs funded by the American tax payer. If only public schools taught the real history of American slavery, there wouldn’t be an unofficial civil war going on between whites and blacks. One only has to read statistics to find out things in America aren’t quite right. Apparently, at least ½ but up to 2/3 of the original whites American were brought here as slaves by English. These individuals weren’t “Indentured Servants” but people held against their own will. People were enslaved by the English for being poor, vagrants, criminals, orphaned, or even being Irish (most of the slaves). The English enslaved mainly Irish, Scottish, and English people. A good percentage of these individuals died in slavery on the ship ride to America, being over worked, diseases, starvation, beatings, murder, and other horrible untold things. The slaver masters abused white slaves worse than blacks as the white slaves were expendable (blacks were much more expensive both in price and to take care of). Whites were also expected to do harder labor than blacks. Young white slave boys children, were often used as “human brooms” while cleaning chimneys, and died working. "They Were Slaves and They were white" goes into detail about all these things and much more. Author Michael Hoffman II also has his claims and facts sourced cited mainly from official documents from the time period the events happened. Hoffman exposes the lies and disinformation of mainstream liberal historians and examples from their misleading books. "They Were Slaves and They Were White" is an important book with information that would completely change race relations in America if exposed to the mainstream. Although “rednecks” are blamed for America’s history of racism, most of their ancestors were slaves. Blacks owned blacks as slaves, Cherokee Indians owned blacks as slaves, and whites owned whites as slaves. With all this talk of “reparations,” will most white Americans get reparations too?

Review # 2 was written on 2016-06-05 00:00:00 Melissa Holloway Interesting read about whites who were enslaved because they were poor and in abundance. Cracker,white trash, and hillbilly are just a few of the names for the descendants of these people. I can understand why some people are trying to cover up this point from history. And it also helps to understand racism in the South. There were some very disjointed parts of this book, and I feel that it needs restructuring to make this better.
