Clipmarks - dulios's war

by dulios 5-2-2008

I saw Douglas Blackmon, Wall Street Journal reporter and author of "Slavery by Another Name", on the Tavis Smiley Show tonight. I had never before heard about neo-slavery. According to Blackmon, the South was culpable; the North was complicit. Modern companies, including US Steel, profited. The system didn't come to an end until the 1940s, "partly due to fears of enemy propaganda about American racial abuse at the beginning of World War II." 13th Amendment be damned, this sale of "convicts" to private enterprises to pay of "debts" was perfectly legal until 1951.

It's a long article, but well worth reading. I think of all my relatives who've experienced war as either combatants (those who I've known: WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, Latin America, and Iraq) or as civilians (my father's family in the "old country" - Greece). War is hell.
