Forget what you know about 1619, historians say. Slavery began a half century before Jamestown
AUGUSTINE, Fla. — For David Nolan, watching the nation commemorate the 400 year anniversary of the first arrival of slaves from his home here in the United States' oldest city is frustrating.
Nolan, a local historian, auth1or and civil rights activist, insists it only advances a false, racist belief that Englishmen founded America and created the system of slavery that defined this country.
"It makes me want to scream," says Nolan. "You’re robbing black history."
The truth is Spaniards settled in St. Augustine, Florida, with enslaved blacks more than half a century before any arrived in Jamestown, Virginia, in 1619 aboard a ship captured by English pirates.
Historical records document the presence of black slaves dating back to their arrival in what was known as Spanish Florida in 1565. They built military forts, hunted food, cut wood and later even created a settlement for freed blacks, Fort Mose. How well do you know America’s history wi
But the influence and significance o Spanish on the country's founding was ignored and lost as English laws, language and culture established a stronghold in the new nation.
Historians and other interested parties challenged writers in the 19th and 20th centuries and tried to spread the story of Spanish settlers and slaves in St. Augustine through exhibits, lectures and books. Still, the 1619 narrative carried on in history books and popular culture.
Kathleen Deagan, a professor of archaeology at the University of Florida, said people have spent their careers trying to correct the erroneous belief.
"It just doesn't resonate," Deagan said. “I don’t know whether it’s just ingrained English-Anglo attitudes, that anybody who isn’t like us can’t really be American.”
Seeds of slavesettlementry
European of what would become the United States began Sept. 8, 1565, when Spanish Admiral Pedro Menendez de Avilés founded St. Augustine on the northeast Florida coast. He arrived with ships filled with soldiers, wives, children and Africans, who were mostly slaves.
Records show Spain’s King Philip II contracted with the admiral to take 500 slaves to establish sugar plantations in the new colony. It's unknown if the Africans were previously enslaved in Spain, said local historian Susan Parker, or exactly how many made it to the settlement. Records show there were 56 slaves in St. Augustine by 1602.

working in the field of eating disorders awareness and body image education
When my daughter was born, I had recently finished writing a book about how to make peace with your body before and after baby. My co-author was already a parent at the time; I was the “expert” voice, having spent my entire adult life working in the field of eating disorders awareness and body image education. I had personal experience, too, as so many of us do. Struggling with eating disorders through high school and college, I spun frantically and fruitlessly on that hamster wheel of perfectionism. Thankfully, I got better. And along the way, I understood that while my illness was a complicated cocktail of contributing factors, the constant glorification of thinness around every corner and on every page and screen was not some superficial side note. It was a very big deal.

Fat Mom Thin Mom review
I have never been narrow, but when the children arrived, I got BIG!
Hi I am Molly, a Mom to beautiful children.
I needed to try something that worked quickly & for the long term! My next door neighbour & best mate Sarah is a traditional Mom like me. They don't have lots of funds, but they get by. He seems to eat like a horse & always stay narrow.
I have tried lots of diets, & they usually worked for some time. But something happened, like the children being ill & it all went downhill again.
I asked her to help me. Together with her advice, I lost 2-3 pounds every week (except christmas - but that doesn't count). That is over a stone in 6 weeks! All this & I could still have a treat night & hit the chocolate! The advice was so great it transformed my life. I have more confidence, I now let my husband see my body, & have a lot more energy. Before i started, i was bulging over the denims shown in the picture below. Now
they fall down!
