additional bit on American slavery. everything you say about it being one of the most brutal forms known to history is correct. it was also, contemporaneously, the soft option. the whole reason the Triangular Trade- molasses, rum, slaves, repeat- got started was that at the peak of the Spanish colonial projects in the Caribbean and Mexico, all three of the above were extremely rapidly consumed. guano mining, silver mining, and sugarcane farming were all low-skill, HIDEOUSLY dangerous jobs. the question was not if they were going to kill you. the question was when. and the answer was "within ten years." there was near total turnover of a slave population from decade to decade. as a result, you were always guaranteed to have a buyer for slaves in the Caribbean! tobacco and cotton farming were by no means good times, but were approximately ten thousand times less likely to kill you in a cave-in, literally eat away your flesh, or cover you in untreatable burns. the question was not when American slavery would kill you. it was if. and as a result, every colonial American slaveholder had this series of thoughts in swift succession a couple years after their plantations were established. "i don't have to spend as much money on replacing slaves here. that's great!" "...wait, they have a chance to develop families. friendships. bonds. a common culture." "a sense of mutual cooperation against that fucker with the whip." "and there's still more of them than there are of me." "well, time to reinvest all those savings into a military state that can protect me from slave revolts!" and that, children, is Literally, Not Hyperbole, the origin of policing in America today. the first police station in the United States of America was founded to rough up any slaves who looked like they might be getting uppity. it would be nice to pretend that is not still most of what they are for today.

[@donoteat01]

can y'all give me a few links about the police business? i got an episode about policing coming up...

[@xalrath]

classes from over ten years ago, unfortunately. first thing I find via googling is time.com/4779112/police-history-origins/ short form: private and local community night watchmen had existed for as long as there had been enough people around for crime to pay, but the first American colony to officially budget for some full-time law-and-order-keepers was South Carolina, in the wake of the Stono slave rebellion, when it passed "An Act for the Better Ordering and Governing of Negroes and Other Slaves in this Province." cut down tremendously on what few freedoms black people were allowed, and in the name of making sure those freedoms stayed curtailed ordered funds be made available to pay some professional "paddyrollers" to make sure the slaves weren't getting up to anything. the other slave-states-to-be followed suit in swift succession. slave societies being the neofeudal bullshit they were, unsurprisingly the paddyrollers typically ended up being a collection of the richest guy in town's buddies and children who didn't stand to inherit, who he'd furnish with guns and creature comforts in exchange for them keeping the peasants down. and maybe hunting down some lawbreakers if the peasants weren't feeling restive at the moment. if this sounds like the lord-knight-peasant relationship, yeah, that wasn't an accident, a LOT of southern self-conception was about how they were the last Cavaliers, heirs and preservers of true chivalric nobility. right down to the spare-son-disposal-plan of giving your lesser sons a weapon and telling them "go beat up some serfs for daddy" it took until a hundred years after the Stono Rebellion for anyone in America to put together a law enforcement body NOT officially based around hunting slaves, and it was Boston in ~1830. so yeah, you ever wonder why it's called a "paddywagon," now you know. it ain't a crack about the irish.

[@TwoBitColorPencil]

It's interesting to compare this with slavery in Spanish colonies. While it was in no way less brutal than that in other nation's settlements (from what I remember, the Dutch where considered the most brutal, which is saying something), there were many legal measures in place for, in theory, protecting the slaves from excessive abuse, same as indigenous people. Later, it became possible for 'pardos', or people of mixed descent to obtain documents which would 'whiten' them, legally. The revolution that started in my country, Venezuela, came about because the Spanish born in the New World were barred from places of power, and trade was restricted, all by the same Spanish crown that was allowing pardos to climb social ranks, own property, etc. This, along with historical factors, impelled them to rebel... Not out of a desire for equality or freedom for all, but as a way of placing themselves on top of the very complicated caste system that was the basis of Spanish colonialism. Most pardos were in the royalist side, and royalist 'propaganda' made sure to remind them of all the 'good' they'd allowed them.

[@ZinTyPhoon]

Right. Because there was NEVER an kind of law enforcement before Americans decided to beat their slaves! *facepalm*

[@xalrath]

bad news, my man. until that point, there was no law enforcement as we know it today in America. there were privately paid for groups of night watchmen, sure, but they were piecemeal organizations that waxed and waned with how much their patron felt like paying for toughs this week. some guy makes a run for it from Braintree to Boston? the Braintree watch (all three of it) has zero authority in Boston. and the only thing the Boston night watchmen, constantly warring among themselves for territory and patrons, are going to agree on is that the country dipshits asking for extradition need a good thumping. you've probably heard that line about how the cops are just another gang? yeah, back then that wasn't a pithy line about police brutality. it was a pure, uncut statement of fact. your reward for being a really successful gang was maybe some rich guy would have a servant come over and say "want to beat some people up for me in exchange for money? congrats, you're now night watchmen." the first public law enforcement officials in America, cut free from the necessity of pleasing some rich guy who liked having private enforcers, were the paddyrollers of south carolina. by colonial ordinance granted salary and legal remit over the whole of south carolina. in the name of pooling the resources of the wealthy, to make sure no one rich guy's negligence would let the poor get too uppity.

There was ACTUAL white slavery of course, the Barbary Coast pirates ranged across European coasts and captured people from Portugal or Italy to Iceland and sold them off in North Africa as well as to the Ottomans. What's important to note here is that it wasn't as devastating to Europe as the Transatlantic Slave Trade was to Africa - but furthermore - real, actual, white slavery was just... well, slavery. The "white" qualifier that is somehow supposed to make it seem more horrific is unnecessary. The Barbary Pirates were free to capture Africans as well, and frequently did.

[@maynardburger]

Definitely. The point is that the term 'white slavery' is almost always used to downplay the horrific and still felt reality and consequences of American slavery as a whole, which was largely black folks. It's basically the sort of thing used by people who try and push the whole, "The Civil War wasn't about slavery" narrative. It's devastatingly dishonest revisionism that just further perpetuates institutionalized racism in the US.

[@cholst1]

Love your series. City planning must go back further though, cities like Harappa and Mohenjo Daro (spelling) were most definitely pre planned, with running water to residences, communal baths and a working sewer system plus city blocks and residential planning. The cities also shows little evidence of a hierarchical social structure. Hard to find any written texts on city planning though, as we havent decoded their language.

[@jonathangriffiths4190]

not a complaint, but just an interesting thing: as far as I understand it rye was the more common crop for whiskey because corn was hard to grow in the climate and rye was a crop that the Europeans knew well. Corn became a big thing in the southern states with bourbon and Tennessee whiskey, and rye kind of fell out of favour eventually. Although it's had a bit of a comeback lately because it's dope.

Down here in Frederick, the city's founder, John Dulaney, clearly messed up somewhere. The west end of the grid is diagonal for some reason, and our city doesn't have any sort of central square area, with the theea most perceive as the center of town being the intersection of two major streets that are actually off-centered.

Also, very glad you included the little-known detail that the first Wawa was in fact opened in Philadelphia in 1701. I believe by Walter Wawa.

[@KOLN555]

The institution of slavery in the United States (and abroad) and how it affected city designs could probably be a separate series on its own. Though the effects of slavery could be felt wherever the products of slavery were consumed, i.e. everywhere, the direct experience with slavery was very geographically and temporally diverse. For example, while this period was certainly at the height of the Transatlantic Slave Trade, the vast majority of those slaves were being diverted to the Caribbean and further south colonies, where the cash crops of sugar were being grown and manufactured into products like rum. These plantations were among the most brutal, and had the highest mortality rates, hence the diversion of most slaves at this period to those colonies. The massive plantations that we associate with American slavery, and the brutality that came with it were a little ways off, after Eli Whitney made cotton a viable cash crop for the South. Incidentally this came after the US officially banned the importation of new slaves, and came solely from the exploitation of the descendants of those who had been forced to come before the trade was banned. This is not to discount the horrors of slavery that existed in the United States at the time. As you mentioned the generational continuation of the practice alone makes it immeasurably worse than say indentured servitude. It would be interesting to explore the difference between port cities in say New England, where slavery was largely not profitable and so they merely profited from the institution; Mid-Atlantic port cities like this is portrayed as being, where slavery existed but was not quite as foundational; Southern American port cities like Savannah where slave labor would become the focal point for the entire economy; and Caribbean port cities like Port-au-Prince where there was an entirely different model and extent of slavery at the time.

One factor you overlooked that worked in the slaves favor is that slaves were more valued than servants. If you worked your slave to death, you wasted 30 to 40 years of labor. Whereas if you worked your servant to death, you were only wasting 10 to 15 years. Slaves were often multi-generational investments whereas servants were just cheap labor. This devaluing can be seen in the fact that it was the servants who were tasked with unloading ships. This was a dangerous job as a person could fall overboard and drown. Slaves were considered too valuable to perform such dangerous work.

[@dallasjacob99]

saying people entered indentured servitude of their own will eliminates other factors. Its like saying people voluntarily pay 50$ for a bottle of water during a hurricane. If someone had the choice of starving or servitude, they do not have effective choice. I am not trying to apologize for slavery. To boil it down to one had choice another did not, is kind of misleading. People do not have choices sometimes. I am forced to sell my labor power, and excesses. Those excesses not being reflected in price at all. Such as time that could go to learning, family, etc. I did not give this up willingly but out of need. Most of the time it was poor people who could not afford food, or needed money, and there for went into debt. A rich kid who does not have to work is ultimately more free.

[@akatsukiawsome13]

Dallas The Mad The "white slavery" people mention occasionally actually refers not to indentured servitude, but to the enslavement of slavic and european people by the ottoman empire and other middle east and north african entities. The moors also took american sailors, which prompted us to have a navy, which initially we thought was highly excessive/unneccesary. Also, yeah they didn't have a fucking choice lol "Die or be a slave for some years! You might die, there might be an extension, you might not be able to read the document at all, but here, sign here!".... And he downplayed the children part. Just as people sold their own children, tribes in africa sold their own. Of course the results are different because you only got that single individual, but slaves were actually often worked much more carefully because they were an INVESTMENT, while the person whos time was "almost up" was worked into the fucking grave. If I only had someone for 4 years, and could not keep the offspring, would I take care of them? Fuck no! If I had a lifetime slave, I would likely look more after their health, and er "breed" them, hoping to get more for my money. Same thing with a cheap, vs expensive pair of headphones. Indentured servants were the cheap pair of headphones. I know they won't last long before I lose them, so I am rougher with them and they break before I lose them oftentimes. I've had the same good pair of headphones for years now and treat them like my baby. Sunken cost... This angle is overlooked by many, because they see "oh it's ONLY 10 years..." :/ Like dude you know you can die in a couple from inadequate shelter, nutrition, hygiene, and hard labor, right? Especially in cold winters in new england.

[@xalrath]

sadly incorrect, friend. look up what the casualty rates on sugarcane plantations were. there's a reason they didn't use indentured servants for the dangerous shit. kill an indentured servant working for you, and you may be subject to legal repercussions. kill a slave working for you, the grand total of the repercussions are "you've got to get a new one." it turns out making sugarcane safely was a hell of a lot more expensive than replacing some not-legally people when a whoopsie melted half their skin off
