The Changing Nature of Indian Slavery in New England, 1670–1720

https://www.colonialsociety.org/node/1397#ch07

Excerpts:

“Native American slavery and involuntary servitude persisted after 1700, albeit in different forms. Some would-be owners purchased Indians imported from outside the region in order to evade the laws against enslaving local Indians. Most notably, however, the practice of judicial enslavement—the sentencing of Native Americans to long periods of involuntary service to settle debts, as well as civil and criminal penalties—increased dramatically. At the same time, even as they formally recognized the collective rights of free Indians, the New England governments crafted new racially-based tax and legal codes that further eroded the status of Indian servants. In effect, the colonial assemblies created a “race frontier” that stripped unfree people of color—Indian, African, and mixed-race slaves and servants—of certain rights enjoyed by their white counterparts. Thus the experiences of these Indian servants and slaves, and the attitudes of the New Englanders who enslaved them, shed light on both the legal evolution of New World chattel slavery and the emerging definitions of race in early America.

New England armies, courts, and magistrates turned to Indian slavery from the first decade of settlement. Binding Indians simultaneously offered a solution to labor shortages and a means of punishing and controlling local native populations. During the Pequot War, the United Colonies and their Niantic, Narragansett, and Mohegan Indian allies all shared in the war’s human spoils. Victorious generals Israel Stoughton and Samuel Davenport remitted approximately 250 native captives to Connecticut and Massachusetts authorities in June and July of 1637 to “be disposed aboute in the townes” as household servants.4 Not all of the captives remained in New England, however; of the prisoners brought to Boston, Governor John Winthrop noted that seventeen women and children composed part of the cargo on the trading ship that initiated the colony’s much-desired trade with the Atlantic and Caribbean islands.5 By the 1640s, Winthrop was fielding requests from the governor of Bermuda for Indian slaves, and other New Englanders were urging a war against the Narragansetts for the “gaynefull pilladge” of securing Indian workers.6 Already by 1676, then, sales like these had placed Native American workers in households throughout southern New England. Women worked as

To honor the 1st anniversary of my growing cell hiding out elsewhere, I’ve scoured the many corners of the wiki to compile this Assassin’s Creed Calendar of sorts, wherein I’ve noted every birthday and death day for all Assassins, Templars, and a handful of important friends that have been given a hard date up to this point!

Because of its heft on certain days of the year, I wasn’t able to throw all this into a colorized PDF calendar like I wanted (yet?), so apologies for this format. But now with how many we have, I’d be interested to hear if any of you share a birthday with any of these guys? Not to mention, we could practically pick any day of the year and have a “religious holiday” excuse to give to our bosses. ;)

If your favorite doesn’t appear here, check the fandom wiki, check their actual Wikipedia entry if they have one, and if I missed one with a notable official date for either their birthday or death day, tell me and I’ll add em to this already numerous list!

Enjoy alllll the Assassin & Templar Birthdays and Death Days I could find!

I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.

Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.

Do your worst!

They were cooked in Greece.

I'm surprised it hasn't decade.

Don't you know a good pun is its own reword?

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

Because she wanted to see the task manager.

Heard they've been doing some shady business.

but then I remembered it was ground this morning.

Edit: Thank you guys for the awards, they're much nicer than the cardboard sleeve I've been using and reassures me that my jokes aren't stale

Edit 2: I have already been made aware that Men In Black 3 has told a version of this joke before. If the joke is not new to you, please enjoy any of the single origin puns in the comments

But that’s comparing apples to oranges

BamBOO!

They’re on standbi

A play on words.

My daughter, Chewbecca, not so much.

Pilot on me!!

I have been reading up on Generational Theory, and in particular about how we are due for a national disaster or "Fourth Turning". I copied and pasted most of the text and then spent hours formatting it for Reddit, so smooth brained apes do not get lost while clicking links. This is also for the apes who see a link inside a DD post and they dont click on it because it's too much effort. Yes, my fellow beloved gaming apes, *wags finger* I'm looking directly at you.

Okay, so what is Generational Theory? Let's begin!

#Generational theory: A brief overview in Ape-Speak

TL;DR: According to two smart wrinkly brained named William Strauss and Neil Howe, historical events are associated with recurring personas or "archetypes". There are four archetypes, Prophets, Nomads, Artists and Heros.

For example: Boomers are the "prophet" archetype, Millenials are the "Hero" archetype.

Each archetype gives rise to a turning every 20 years or so, and there are four turnings in a bigger cycle, or "Saeculum".

ELI5 (Explain Like I'm 5): Crash/war/depression—rebuilding and prosperity—individualism and corruption—more corruption, systemic instability—crash/war/depression

The last big crisis or Fourth Turning was the Great Depression, which was almost 90 years ago in 1929. According to Generational Theory, we are due for another crisis 2020-2029. (The generational theory model predicts that 2008 financial disaster was just the warm up for a very long tune due to be played.) Is this making sense yet? Gamestop has triggered a movement, the beginnings of a financial revolution...but the impending collapse of the financial system is showing up right on time, and Gamestop is just an innocent bystander.

Ok, so now lets learn about Generation Theory, for real now.

From Wikipedia, a brief summary of Generational Theory:
"The Strauss–Howe generational theory, also known as the Fourth Turning theory or simply the Fourth Turning, describes a theorized recurring generation cycle in American history and global history. It was devised by William Strauss and Neil Howe. According to the theory, historical events are associated with recurring generational personas (archetypes). Each generational persona unleashes a new era (called a turning) lasting around 20–25 years, in which a new social, political, and economic climate (mood) exists. They are part of a larger cyclical "saeculum"

Nothing, he was gladiator.

Or would that be too forward thinking?

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

Hindus, on the other hand, never had any beef.

I won't be doing that today!

Today marks a BIG celebration for our humble cell! It’s now officially been 1 full year since the inception of r/CodexTemporis - and what a wild year it has been!
