But when I say slavery, like the first thing people think of is big cotton plantations in Alabama being worked by men and women kidnapped from Africa. And this is a completely different historical development.

African slavery is different for a few reasons. The main one is that there's an entire race of people that are enslaved on the basis of being part of that race.

They did not haul all the Gauls back as slaves. They haul some of the people back. Definitely. Absolutely. They wouldn't typically go raiding back into places they'd conquered and taking those people as slaves. And they also did not have an elaborate philosophical justification for why it was okay to enslave all Gauls on the basis of the fact that they were Gauls.

Actually, the Romans had a very deep respect, generally, for people they conquered. The Gauls are actually a really good example of it. There's all kinds of classical... art that depicts Gauls as these barbaric, but like physically strapping, brave, heroic people.

They were Celts that lived in what's now France. Okay. Like the ancestors of Of the French, though the French have a lot of German in them now. That's a whole other episode. But yeah, when I say Gaul equals Celts living in France. Okay. American slavery isn't even like America conquered some tribe and that tribe was enslaved. It was like blacks in Africa are fair game. Period. Yeah. Period.

They tried doing this with Native Americans when first settlers and conquerors got here, but it didn't work because it was too easy for the natives to run away. They just run away and rejoin their tribes.

Jim Goad, the author, does a really good explanation of the Irish thing in his book, The Redneck Manifesto. The short version is that... Irish slaves, their tenure of slavery was typically seven years rather than their entire life.

That's not as true as people think it is because that keeps infant mortality into it. It's like, if you got to the age of 12, you were probably going to make it to about 60. Oh, okay. Is my understanding of it, this is an off-the-cuff remark, Flood the commons and tell me I'm an idiot.
