1). Slave auctions were typically postponed in observance of Jewish holidays. 2). Jewish SLAVERS (or merchants) were dominate within ALL American colonies, whether French (Martinique), British, or Dutch. 3). During the 17th century, in places such as Curacao, and in 18th century Barbados and Jamaica, Jewish merchants played a major role in the slave trade. 4). Jews were also active in the Dutch colonial slave trade. Bylaws of the Recife and Mauricia congregations (1648) included a "Jewish tax" of five soldos for each "black" slave from the West Indies Company a Brazilian Jew purchased. 5). Jews participated in the 'triangular trade' which brought slaves from Africa to the West Indies and exchanged them for molasses. Molasses was then taken to New England and converted into rum later sold (or traded) in Africa while Jewish individuals such as Isaac Da Costa of Charleston in the 1750's, David Franks of Philadelphia in the 1760's, and Aaron Lopez of Newport in the late 1760's and early 1770's dominated slave trading on the American continent.

Not exactly right, and true to a degree. So what is your point? The fact a certain idea is formulated as a statement of fact, only demonstrates realisation on a cognitive level. If you read TJ writings, you will find he was wrestling with quite a number of issues and how these could be practically implemented. The Liberia experiment being one such idea floating around.

Your kneejerk response meant for denigration totally falls flat, goes tits up, because you failed to look further than your nose.

....should have stayed with the original Lockean formula of life, liberty, and property.... And indeed, the property issue is key. Yet, perhaps, we can consider this a to be self evident issue. Without property you are nothing. Properties of humans differ from properties of dolphins, although they share a few. The unique property of humans is to add properties of all kinds. And this indeed is basically denied by your typical socialists and communists as a bad thing.

The object of these properties is not property, but the happiness that such pursuits yield, meaning: how you go about it. This again in opposition to the typical socialist and communists who claim that only in the community you will be able to find happiness.

Slavery back in the day wasn't like it was portrayed by the jews in hollywood. Being a slave was a decent gig back then. It worked in the same way that student loans function today. Your master keeps a percent of your labor, and as long as you keep working, no one bothers you. If you pay off your debt, they free you. Never mix history with hollywood. They are like oil and water.
