Once again, great video. If I remember correctly, the Virginia Slave Codes of 1705 were specifically written to also drive a wedge between the servants and slaves by even stipulating that servants (typically white) would have access to better food and clothing, they also had the legal right to redress by a local magistrate for unfair punishment or having their indenture extended for illegal reasons (uncommon, but happened, whereas slaves had no such protection. It's been posited that this was directly linked to Bacon's Rebellion, in and of itself, is a complicated issue. But, I've also read that it wasn't, so I'm unclear as to that and was hoping for clarification on this video.

I don't think it's too far off to say that workers are always an underclass, that corporations always look at their employees only as monetary assets
Slavery is different, worse, than that. A worker can't leave their job because they need to pay rent, pay bills, raise a family, a slave can't leave their job because they'll be physically tortured if they try.
There is a distinction to be made here.

Another great video. Is this a sad story of unnecessary harm or a triumphant story the progress made? Both. Let-s proudly own the history we want to repeat and make sure we separate our identities from the crimes of our ancestors.

I love your knowledge about the African American history. As a black man myself I can see how this is relevant. The legacy of the slave code still lives on til this day. I look forward to your future videos.

Thank you for these videos Clint. Probably one of the most important topics one can learn about, while also being one of the most intentionally misrepresented by the american schooling system.

Slavery was, is and will always be about the annihilation of the person, reducing them to just a disposible object. Unfortunately slavery still exists in various parts of the world.

Clint is doing a great job. Such a shame that the subject matter requires discussions of Black American History to be somber and depressing. So glad to be learning about it
