Black history month

Are you native american? Because while they didn't buy and sell slaves they did enslave other tribe members and trade them as peace offerings or for one of their own in return.

with the Cherokee slaves were treated much better. they were only slaves until a clan accepted them into their fold.

Oh I wasn't saying it was like the slavery we know of just bringing it up. I have Cherokee and Blackfoot in my ancestry

I do have Cherokee to, however my family also is Irish. When my family fled from the great potato famine, we did have enough money to buy slaves.

i knew it. i never watched goodburger lol but all that was gr8

It's not that hard to just spell out great. Why do you have to condense it? I have always thought that abbreviations are stupid. You don't say "that's gr- number 8" do you? And another thing. If you're have a deep conversation through text, why don't people spell their words out? When you do that, your saying you don't care enough to take the extra two seconds it takes to spell out a word. I'm sorry for the random rant, but I just thought it had to be said.

When saying a number such as 14 do you say "number 14"? No you say "fourteen". It's shorthand, you knew exactly what they meant by gr8. It didn't "have" to be said... it also isn't deep conversation, it's a comment.

wait, what? gr8 is this thing a friend of mine used to say gr8 when he texted and i just kinda picked it up, lmao. i can type properly if i try but "gr8" and "lmao" are just things that are part of the way i type.

Slaves are expensive to buy and to maintain, poor people literally can't afford them.

You're thinking on a bigger scale though smaller families owned one or two for house work and such but not enough to run a plantation

Not really. To own a slave you have to be able to house and feed a whole human. For most people it wasn't practical to take care of a another human to do things for you if you could just do those things yourself.
