“It is difficult to picture the rich, hard-nosed advisors of James I being overly concerned about the rights of vagabonds and felons. But this was a period that was especially suspicious of arbitrary acts by the Crown against individuals. There was no law enabling the crown to exile anyone, including the baser convict, into forced labour. According to legal scholars, the Magna Carta itself protected even them. The Privy Councillors therefore dressed up what was to befall the convicts and presented the decree authorising their transportation as an act of royal mercy. The convicts were to be reprieved from death in exchange for accepting transportation. (71)”

"Of course, one day the indentured period would end and the servant would be free. That is one of the fundamental differences drawn between white indentured servitude and black slavery. One was a temporary condition; the other was perpetual. Except that huge numbers of white servants didn’t live to see the day of freedom. In the early days, the majority of servants died still in bondage. Moreover, the bulk of those who did outlive their servitude ended up no better than when they’d arrived. They would emerge from bondage landless and poor (p. 111)."

Kinky #trans man, bi, 30s, married, sub/occasional switch. Amateur #leatherworker who likes making #bdsmgear and the usual stuff like wallets too. I have a thing for using brass rivets when I make stuff.

Hey Mastodon, I'm Lauren! I am a #trans lass from England. I am in my early thirties, #pansexual, #polyamorous, and like to show off my body (narcissistic #voyeur much 🤣)
I am mostly #dominant, I like sensation play, great at impact play getting into #bondage and #shibari so we'll see how that plays out.
I held off on a bluebird account for ages, and it seems to fall apart a month after I signed up. So to better explore who I am and share myself with the world, I came over here! Hopefully you'll like what I put out.
I don't have an OF or anything cause I'm so sporadic in what I do with myself, but I have a backlog of stuff I'll definitely share :blobcatheart:
