Gone to America - Steeleye Span descargar videos gratis

Tamara Jessup

As an Irish-American whose great-uncles left Eire, and whose grandma was the only child born on American soil, this plucks at my heartstrings.

*Gone to America*~Steeleye Span~Married him in April, lost him in July;Listen to my story and I'll tell you why,They said that he'd been poaching and stealing wine,They said I wouldn't see him for a long long time.Chorus: They said he's gone to America,To work the land that some called Virginia;They said he's gone to America.Married him in April, lost him in July;They took him as their prisoner then told me why,They said they had sent him where poachers go,I asked if I could see him but they said no.Chorus:Married him in April, lost him in July;Curse the men who took him, curse their wicked lie,The night they saw him poaching and stealing wine,Was the night he took comfort in these arms of mine.Chorus:Married him in April, lost him in July.

@GoodVideos4 Look up Jamestown and Queen Elizabeth II...its was British law, if you were poor and houseless it was your duty to settle in oversea camps.

I read that there was a penal colony in the USA before the USA became independent. Was then changed to Australia.

75% of whites coming the america before about the middle to latter part of the 1800s were indentured. Indentured servitude was declared illegel in the US in 1885. Then the eastern europeons and medeterainians were allowed in. An interesting book, Souls For Sale, gives first person accounts .

@rosewoodflower I traced my maternal grandfather's fathers back and found William. He and his two sons lived in County Antrim in northern Ireland. The Brits came and took his sons and shipped them to Barbados to do hard labor. Eventually one of the brothers made it to Virginia, though I'm not sure if he was still indentured or being penalized or not.

Could just as well been Australia, not the point of song. Love lost. Unfairness.

@exartemarte -- But white penal servitude (slavery) continued for some decades after independence from Britain, though it was gradually giving way to black slavery, which was certainly no better.

there were places in america where you could be imprisoned and sold at auction into slavery by the local sheriff for not paying your taxes...and this was after america was no longer part of the english empire...the federal authorities stepped in to put a stop this

exartemarte

Yes, but not America as any modern American would understand it. This was really slavery in a British penal colony - and it was by no means the worst of them.
