what is really striking here is actually what is NOT said. You read a description of dozens of children held under the lash of a whip by one man ,where were the other parents, why did the childrn not simply run away, where was the angry clergyman or citizens, this portrays a pitiless society already subjected to a different sort of slavery that of poverty ,submit or suffer. We in this year of 2023 with our high morality, save the planet, etc etc can have no idea of the brutality of life when simply existing was not guaranteed beyond the day. You have highlighted Aberdeen, i suspect that a visit to any city in the whole island would have discovered similar appalling treatment and exploitation A sad tale Bruce, but one in need of telling

In every town in the country there is a population of prostitutes, most of whom are not "happy hookers" working freelance for pin money, but wretches in debt-bondage to violent pimps and gangsters. They "interact" many times a day with members of the public, solid citizens who are unconcerned about their plight and don't tell the police, who are also uninterested.

Bruce, I think have mentioned this before, in the comments of a previous video, but from time to time I have a tendency to see our nation's history through rose-tinted lenses. The wee country up in the arse-end of the North Atlantic and North Sea teeming with salt-of-the-earth battlers who can just about get on with anyone in the world. Thank you for telling us these stories and for reminding people like me that the truth about us Scots is a lot more complicated and disturbing than the whisky label and shortbread tin version of the past we comfort ourselves in believing. What a horrific tale.

Most countries have "modern slavery," which exists with the connivance of local people and sometimes law enforcement. It may ensnare the local underclass (minorities, runaway children) or those trafficked from abroad and force into debt bondage, prostitution or cultivation of illegal plants. Foreign slaves are likely to be treated by the police as criminals and not victims. This includes domestic servants brought in by diplomats, who are not allowed to change their employer, and children brought by in adults pretending to be related. Prostitutes who come to the attention of police in the UK are liable to have all the money in their possession confiscated. In some countries in Africa and Asia brick-making is generally done by slaves, as is commercial fishing. A lot of outsourced work is done for Western companies by slaves or, in China, prisoners doing forced labour.

Powerful story. I’m an American. Most of my roots go back to Pennsylvania. I know I have several indentured servants who were my ancestors. Two of them, were indentured servants in Maryland, who I think ran away and founded a farm in the wilderness of Western Pennsylvania. I have one or two Scottish ancestors - not many. I’m pretty sure that at least one or two of them were actually the product of Highland clearances and or indentures. Sometimes when I go to Scottish festivals, I think about that stuff.

Bruce Gore has a few articles on the role of Presbyterians in early America. At the time of the beginning of the American Revolution there was just less than one million. The population of the colonies at that time was 3 million with the majority being Presbyterian, Quakers, Lutherans and Dutch Reform. Quite an interesting time!

@@alexbirrell4568 thank you! That looks like interesting stuff to explore. My own ancestors at that time were pretty much all located in Pennsylvania. From what I what I’ve been reading, the majority of them were Presbyterians or reformed. Which I believe amount to fairly similar theological positions. Another large group were Lutheran, with a few Quakers thrown in. I didn’t know I had such an ancestral connection to Presbyterians until recently. I discovered that my grandmother and grandfather were both Presbyterians. My grandmother went to a German speaking. Presbyterian Church, in Philadelphia has a matter of fact. A few Scottish lowlanders who settled in Pennsylvania by way of Northern Ireland also arrived in my ancestral pool. So I’m really interested in John Knox and in the covenanters. I’m embarrassed to say I don’t know a lot about them beyond vague stuff from college classes.

I know my Campbell family were involved in the slave trade somehow - the fact that in my parents part of Jamaica, (St Elizabeth) there is a total glut of Scottish names tells us that without knowing anything else. The fact that other people than African were treated as slaves, just tells people there were not enough 'white' people to become workhorses, so they went to Africa to get them. I've seen where Italians were treated as 'black' in USA and lynched for 'crimes'. All for greed, profit and sheer ignorance. My late father didn't know the whole tale, but he told us enough to know that people are not nice to their own, let alone another race when money, fame and fortune is on the line... I thank god I had his measured tales to get a better idea of what was going on..

Who were those magistrates of Aberdeen who turned a blind eye to kidnapping and enslavement? Until 1975 that role was performed in the cities and burghs of Scotland by "Baillies," elected by town councillors from local worthies in the same way as Aldermen in England. In the 18th century councils would have been chosen by the burgesses, a small number of merchants and master craftsmen. No legal training!

My youngest brother was doing some family tree research on the Stewart family tree and could only get us back to 1790 and then everything just ends. I did meet a lady in Texas who was doing the same family tree and they tried to go backwards on the maternal side . But this information about servitude and land owners selling there renter’s ships Captain for servitude in the new world, and the time line maybe that is why we don’t exist past 1790 But where did we start from then. I think that maybe a DNA test like you did is in order… Thanks Bruce for your work man. I am down in Brazil living right now and it’s really cool to have you to watch.

African kingdoms never sold their own people. The African continent is the most ethnically diverse, there are over 3000 different indigenous groups on a very vast continent. "African" is a collective term used for groups so culturally & genetically diverse that two "Africans" from different ethnic backgrounds can be genetically closer to some Asian & European groups than to each other. I say all this to say that Africans sold other Africans, but not their own people. We are not all the same people. Scotland is a country whilst African is a vast continent, 2nd in size to Asia in area, but 1st in terms of the number of different ethnic groups.

In Adam Smith's book The Wealth of Nations, he describes the differences between living where the economy is growing rapidly and living where the economy is stagnant. He said that it was not uncommon for an American laboring man and his wife to live to see more than 100 descendants. Contrarywise in Scotland, a laboring man and his wife could barely raise two children to adulthood, in spite of having twenty children born, not counting homunculuses (children lost to miscarriage). (1776) 😮. That's pretty powerful motivation to emigrate. Forced emigration explains much about the culture of Virginia and the other slave states. 😢

And this is what happened: After watching your other videos on slavery I was wondering how the reality was in Europe also for people in serfdom. So I got a book to learn about it. Then I read about slave-trade from Europe to the Americas and wondered what Bruce Fummey would have to say about it - and a couple of days later here we go. Thanks! You're the best historian-comedian on the internet!

A fascinating insight into my adopted home town. Thanks as always. I was really gutted to miss your gig here last month (I had a gig of my own that night, which I guess is a reasonable excuse). Hope you come back here soon.

In your back story about Jamestown, you should point out that the original settlers were not farmers or anyone who knew how to fend for themselves. Thus the trouble they had surviving.
