Eli Faber - Letters from Jamaica, 1719-1725 - American Jewish History 91:3-4 American Jewish History 91.3-4 (2003) 485-491 Letters from Jamaica, 1719-1725 Eli Faber The letters transcribed here were written by Diego Luis Gonsales (Gonzales) and his son, Abraham Gonsales, both of Jamaica, to Nathan Simson of New York and London. Informative about many commercial matters, they underscore the importance of transatlantic ties for Jewish settlers in England's New-World colonies during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Jews who settled in colonial America aspired to careers as merchants who participated in the international commerce that spanned the Atlantic basin. Such trade provided the economic basis for the small seventeenth- and eighteenth-century Jewish communities that developed in New York, Savannah, Philadelphia, Newport, and Charleston, with the most successful merchants often serving as leaders of the congregations that arose in those locations. Success in commerce during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries depended upon participation in a transatlantic network of merchants connected by ties of religion and, when possible, family. This was true not only of Jewish merchants but also of businessmen who belonged to other contemporary ethnic and religious groups, notably Quakers and Huguenots. Such connections provided a large measure of trust and stability in an era in which commercial correspondents had no other means for ascertaining...

Nice interjections Jett. People will still probably think your a dumbass though.

[Leshrac]

Yes. The chosen sold slaves.

[broscience]

damn I learn more listening to jett than I do in my classes. Funny how whitey is vilified in schools for slavery but it was jews that sold them.

[Subrosa]

I agree Rink. The catholics should have just slaughtered all the kikes instead of pouring water on their yamakas.

You said textiles is why marijuana is illegal. How do you know this?

[Gabry Ponte]

It is good to be a round white people who do shit.

[Jett]

You said textiles is why marijuana is illegal. How do you know this?

DuPont lobbied heavily against Marijuana during the 20th Century. Stay on topic which is the Jews coming to America.

Jews in the Slave Trade

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Lopez

Lopez expanded his trade beyond the North American coastline and by 1757 had major interests in the West Indian trade.[7] He also sent ships to Europe and the Canary Islands.[8] Between 1761 and 1774, Lopez was involved in the slave trade.[9] While The Secret Relationship between Blacks and Jews describes Lopez as "Newport's leading participant in the Black Holocaust", historian Eli Faber determined Lopez underwrote 21 slave ships during a period in which Newport sent a total of 347 slave ships to Africa, and Faber described Lopez's ventures in the slave trade as "an infinitesimal part" of the British slave trade.[10] By the beginning of the American Revolution, Lopez owned or controlled 30 vessels.[11]

Gabriel Lopez -
One additional Jewish individual in England, Gabriel Lopez Pinheiro, is
known to have had a form of contact with the slave trade during the
1720s. An officer of the London Sephardic community, Pinheiro was a
refugee from Portugal in 1706 who, using various aliases, traded
primarily with his homeland after he fled to England, but also as far
afield as Vienna, to which he exported diamonds. Pinheiro became
involved in 1726 in a transaction involving the sale of 51 slaves as
attorney for the Marquis Govia, a Portuguese aristocrat. The owner of
the island of St. Antonio off the coast of West Africa, the Marquis
leased it to several Englishmen for a period of twenty-seven years, and
subsequently permitted them to acquire 100 slaves on the island at a
cost of 10 [pounds sterling] per person, payable in London. The lessees
refused to pay, arguing that, inasmuch as only half the slaves had been
delivered, the contract had not been fulfilled. Because the Marquis had
meanwhile left London, the lessees found themselves dealing with his
attorney.

Jews migrate according to economic conditions.

[Tom Connington]

Who was the Jews's hired representative in Rome?

[Brett Quinn]

Chapter 2 is disgusting. Jews are marrying their cousins just to strengthen trade connections.

[broscience]

Totally disgusting. Anyone who says Jews don't work together is wrong. It's proven in these readings.
