learngullahlegacy.com, through the on-line independent study course: “Gullah Legacy: Actualization of the American Dream,” provides students with expanded insights into American history. There is no American history without African history. Expanding on the narratives of American history (and world history) is what learngullahlegacy.com is ABOUT. The desire to profit by planting and cultivating rice and other agricultural products on American soil was the impetus for colonial America’s recruitment of enslaved African laborers to America. However, centuries before the transatlantic slave trade…centuries before Christopher Columbus’ voyages to America, African sailors and indigenous American Indians mutually profited from equal trade.
The 1619 White Lion Voyage landing in Virginia was not the first introduction of Africans to America. Indentured servants traveling on the White Lion voyage included Africans and Europeans. European travelers were able to complete their indentured servitude contracts and integrate into the American dream of wealth acquisition. However, 1641 laws enacted by the American colonies of Britain led to enslavement of Africans. The main source of wealth in American colonies before and after its independence from Britain was from the American plantation economy. Enslavement of laborers to work on American plantations ensured maximum profit for plantation owners.
Rice and cotton were high selling commodities for American businesses, and the ancestors of the Gullah from African territories (not yet delineated as African countries) were shipped to Britain’s American colonies. America’s wealth grew substantially as results of its 1641 African enslavement laws. This history of African enslavement laws in colonial America, subsequently leading to post American colonial enactments to maintain slave labor, must be openly discussed in order to facilitate a better way forward for inclusion and human understanding for all Americans. Providing a worldwide perspective on Africa’s cultural influence in our world, learngullahlegacy.com also gives learners insights into enslaved African laborers shipped to South American and Caribbean plantations.
