Not By Blood, But By Politics

Here's my provocative quote of the day. My original language of course.

American slavery is the only pervasive system of slavery which did not come to an end through violent slave revolt. Instead, by political proxy, Africans were freed in America via a war they didn't start, and whose spoils they didn't collect. Therefore the greatest legacy of slavery in the descendants of African slaves in America is that their freedom can be purchased, not by blood, but by politics.
