    Under feudalism serfs were bound to the lord and land from birth to death. There’s plenty different kinds of slavery

      “Bound”…

      My ancestors lived under a fuedal society immediately before immigrating to America.

      There was no daring escape for the guy who got out, he just got out.

      If he had stayed he would have been forced into joining a mercenary army for no pay where profits went to his King, but him (and many others) just fucked off instead.

      If you can just walk away from a system of oppression…

      I’m not saying it’s not a system of oppression, but I am saying it’s definitively not slavery.

          Jesus, really?

          In America there was a whole civil war over if the federal government would do slave raids into the North to capture anyone that wasn’t white and transport them to states where slavery was legal where they’d automatically become slaves.

          Why do you think a lot of escaped slaves didn’t stop till Canada?

          Really tho, I shouldn’t assume you knew that either.
