Could William have been named after the master because he was his child? The Tucker family appears to have strong European genes. My family flows in a different direction. My family from Britain, part of it moved from Virginia to Mississippi where one or two of the sons had children with one of their slaves. The story was kept secret and within the community but we always knew something happened because of the strong European features. We eventually met the European family members and everything started to make sense. Secrets can lie dormant for centuries. Very beautiful story.

[@deecal1021]

@@iyannasmith350 Before slavery was law, Africans were considered to be along the same lines as Indentured Servants from Europe. In early Virginia Africans, Europeans, and N.A’s coexisted peacefully, having relationships and children. This wasn’t seen as productive on several levels, and white landowners/free people, along with Va. House of Burgesses passed a law making slavery legal in 1661. Look up the case of Elizabeth Key, who in 1662 sued for her freedom. Her case is the reason why any child born to a female slave, would remain a slave for life (not always the case). Due the racial caste system and the fact that certain people could only be considered property, slave owners bred them like cattle. Slaves having come from different parts of Africa, the Colonies, Europe, N.A. are responsible for many of today’s A.A.. This would explain why your admixture has several different ethnicities.

I have to remind myself that the trans Atlantic slave trade started in the Carribean, so many of the slaves around the time prior to Jamestown could have also been from the Carribean ( ex: Sidney Poitier ancestry), as well as people that initially were indentured servants that came over on the mayflower from England. Its difficult for some to realize how slavery started in the colonies. Simply to lessen chances of Rebellion, and to increase of profits, while separating, and turning families against each other in the name of greed, and self preservation at the expense of the unfortunate souls made to work for free, or die.

#EyeAmNOTBlack #PleaseReadThis Through compulsory American educational institutions, vulnerable children were taught as young students about the topic of U.S. History, a mandatory learning curriculum. These young students were forced to study and comprehend all information provided by their teachers, concerning this topic, to pass multiple tests and possibly graduate toward the next grading level. Without strict supervision at home from their parents concerning what their children learned in school, these students eventually became adults that were indoctrinated with detailed information about U.S. History, which they now believe is the absolute truth without any doubts or room for questioning its accuracy or validity. This type of social engineering experiment systematically manipulated millions of American’s mindsets into a one-directional belief system, to the point where the offspring of the indigenous Niiji, who are misclassified today as African Americans or Black Americans, will believe that their direct ancestors were somehow captured by anonymous European caucasian sailors, from random parts of West Africa, and then forcefully migrated to North America to work as slaves for foreigners from another continent. This folklore is commonly known today as the Transatlantic slave trade story, however, essential details of this story did not happen the way that we were all told by strangers in school.

Scorpio Africanus was a Roman general who fought against the Carthaginian’s in the 2nd Punic wars. Any indentured captives that were brought in chains across the Atlantic Ocean were not his captives and were of a different bloodline than that Iberian, and should therefore be labeled appropriately. Appalachia already had aboriginal negroes of a different bloodline and probably intermingled with these new arrivals.

John Blanke, Catalina, Mary Fillis, and of the many Conquistadors that were also considered blackamoor, Juan Gurrido, who brought wheat to the American continent. I thoroughly enjoyed your presentation. I just need clarification, if possible, at the assumption that Europeans brought 'black' people from Africa in 1619. I know they brought some, but werent the principle source of dark skinned europeans. King James grandson nicknamed the 'black' boy( king Charles 11of England). Thank you. ("Which leads me to add one Remark: That the Number of purely white People in the World is proportionably very small. All Africa is black or tawny. Asia chiefly tawny. America (exclusive of the new Comers) wholly so. And in Europe, the Spaniards, Italians, French, Russians and Swedes, are generally of what we call a swarthy Complexion; as are the Germans also, the Saxons only excepted, who with the English, make the principal Body of White People on the Face of the Earth. I could wish their Numbers were increased. And while we are, as I may call it, Scouring our Planet, by clearing America of Woods, and so making this Side of our Globe reflect a brighter Light to the Eyes of Inhabitants in Mars or Venus, why should we in the Sight of Superior Beings, darken its People? why increase the Sons of Africa, by Planting them in America, where we have so fair an Opportunity, by excluding all Blacks and Tawneys, of increasing the lovely White and Red?

Ships that would try to follow the current toward this land would be ship wreaked into the sea, this was 60,000 years before any other races existed. 18,500 years ago, Columbus learned we were here through the 14 Books of the Apocrypha that was removed from the Bible along with the book of Enoch by the Catholic Church.
