Redundant? Possible merge
[edit]I wonder if anyone has ever thought about merging this article with its identical twin: Slavery in the Spanish New World colonies. Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 08:37, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
- Renewing call for a merge. Comments? Questions? Thanks. Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 22:26, 11 December 2016 (UTC)
- Note: Given the lack of responses I will soon move to join (WP:MERGETEXT) the articles under WP:BOLD. Simply: I will proceed transfering non-redundant but relevant information from this article to the other one, leaving here a redirect, of course. On the meantime, please, share your thoughts. I am willing to follow a more formal proposal for merger if there is interest. Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 19:01, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- For what it is worth, I support your proposal. Thanks for doing it. Smmurphy(Talk) 19:17, 12 December 2016 (UTC)
- @Smmurphy: Thanks for your support. We should take the stillness of others as implied support (WP:SILENCE). So, I am beginning the transfer today (WP:MERGE), which is not much really, since most is already covered in the other article. Of course, I will not copy and paste (WP:CWW), nor transfer unsourced and dubious claims. If possible, share your thoughts and help. Caballero/Historiador ⎌ 21:34, 13 December 2016 (UTC)

Catholic church
[edit]This still needs work. What it doesn't need is huge quotes from Papal Bulls, etc. The article on Bartolomé de las Casas is interesting, as is the work by Teresa Meade[1] pp 60-61. She writes about what actually happened on the ground, failure to speak up or to oppose slave auctions, etc. Doug Weller talk 10:52, 10 September 2018 (UTC)
Very odd priorities in what is and isn't included
[edit]This article is very lacking in detail about some very important matters readers of this article are likely to want to know, such as dates where legalized slavery was abolished, or how harsh the conditions were for the slaves (from what I've read before, it was worse in some places than others, with certain locations and time periods having very low life expectancy for slaves as they were continually replaced with new ones from Africa). On the other hand, for some reason a large portion of the article is about wealthy female former slaves or descendants of slaves (which I would expect were probably a fairly small minority), and half of that is about their clothing.
A misread of Henry Louis Gates. It's North America, not the United States that had 388k

- I would like to emphasize the use of debt bondage as a means of further exploitation against natives and other people in Latin America. The Amazon section of this article deals with enslavement after the official abolition of slavery in South America. Debt bondage was the tool that legally facilitated the ownership of rubber extractors, and their families. Roger Casement and his 1910 investigation was based on the financial exploitation of Barbadians and unofficially the bondage and enslavement of natives in the Putumayo region. This is a very large subject, which I hope to see Wikipedia expand upon in the future. Arawoke (talk) 18:03, 10 December 2023 (UTC)
