Amazing Grace.

Amazing Grace was written by John Newton 1725-1807. John was pressed into the Royal Navy and became  a sailor on a Slave ship for two years. One night a terriable  storm hit his ship and he became frighten enough to call out to God, for mercy.  He later became a poet and a clergyman..

Shall we sing.

1. Amazing Grace how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me,

I once  was lost, but now am found,

was blind but now I see.

2. Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved, how precious did that  grace appear the hour I first beliieved.

3. Through many dangers toils and snares  I  have already come tis grace hath brought me safe thus far, and grace will  lead me home

4. The lord has promused good to me, his word my hope secures, he will my shield and portion be as long a life  endures.

.5. Yea when this fleash and heart shall fail, and mortal life shall cease.  I shall possess without the veil a life of joy and pease.

6. When we.ve been there ten thousand  years bright, shining as the sun, we.ve no less days to sing Gods

 praise than when we first begun.


I would like to honor my Great Gran Mother, Laura, Mama Stephenson, My Gran Mother Hattie mo Darden, My Mother Bernice Base Hagler,My Gran Father Will Darden and my Father Lewis Hagler.They have all gone on to there Glory now, but they still live on through me.

Good Breeding Stock.

African men outnumbered African women, so Slave repoduction was low. Prolong Breast Feeding inhibited conception, that couple with high infant mortatlity among Slave Women. This ensured a low rate of Slave repoduction. The death rate among Slaves were high. Plantation onwers encouraged Slaves to have children. Child bearing among Slave women began at age 13. and  by age 20 she was expected to have had 4or 5 childern. Planters promised slave women freedom if they would have 15 children.

Charlas Bell a Slave from Maryland speaks of a Slave Market that sold Pregnant Slaves. A tall thin weather beaten White Man, wanted to buy a couple of Breeding wenches and would pay a good price for them. He then walked along our lines, as we stood Chained togeather. As he looked at the whole of us, he turn to 2  pregnant Slave women and asked our Master how much.Our Master replied these 2 were 2  of the best breeding wenches in all of Maryland. That one the   20yo  had produced 7 children. The other one a 19yo the Master said would make a good Breeders, and would be cheap at a $1000 each, but since they could not keep up with the gang, he would let them go for $1200 for the 2. Young women were often advertised as good Breeding Stock.

One Slave trader in Virginia boasted that his successful breeding policies enable him to sell 6000 Slave children a year.

There were no recognition of Marriage between Slaves, at any level of goverment. Slaves may have jumped the Broom but couples could be broken up and sold at anytime. And we must remember white males had total and unrestricted access to Black Women.

 We as Black American are trying to runaway from our Hisory, I feel we should embrace it. All problems that we have experienced in  America  today were bred and formed  starting in 1505 when  Black Slaves were brought to America. My Blog give Black Amerians a tool for understanding Racism.

The need for Slavery.

A Reverend Peter Fontaine replying to a query from his Brother Moses, as to the christian ethics of enslaving our fellow creatures. The Reverend wrote that to live in Virginia without Slaves would be morally impossible. By the 1800 Slavery was frmly in place in the Southern part of the US. Infact the Southern Planters had a name for Slavery.

The Black Soldier

As the Revolution began in the 13 American Colonies in the late 1770s. The British were badly outnumbered, when  in desperation they promised freedom to any Slave of a Rebel who fought the Americans on their behalf.The response was greater than they could have imagined. As many as 30,000 Slaves escaped to British lines.Working as Soldiers, labourers, pilots, cooks an musicians. They were a major part of the unsucessful British war effort. As defeat became inevitable, these free Blacks were evacvated to Nova Scotia Canada with other Loyalists. But their hope for promised land never arrived. Ther land was never granted, and most were reduced to a position not so different from Slavery. They were dependent on the small wages they receved for manual Labour. In the end most chose to seek a new life in Serra LeoneWest Africa,away from the cold land where they had experience so much prejudice. This was part of the story of the Black Loyalists.

During the American Revolution the Black Soldier fought on Both sides. Every since the Black Slave set foot on Amrican soil , every war every conflict, the Black Soldier has been involved. America Has always depended on the Black Soldier.
