Georgia (America)[edit]

As this page discusses Slavery in Georgia long before the U.S. was invented perhaps it should be moved to Slavery in Georgia (America). This would still help distinguish it from Slavery Georgia (Eastern Europe), which was a product of a different dynamic and should be treated separately.Harrypotter (talk) 00:59, 21 August 2010 (UTC) hi[reply]

In an attempt to clarify this point about dates being pre-United States, I added the section header "Pre-colonial period". There was also some POV issues around the history of slavery (i.e., not all types of slavery were the same, Native American slavery vs. European slavery differences). I attempted to clean and clarify the POV issues with RS citations. PigeonChickenFish (talk) 19:19, 18 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Pre-colonial section is a good idea. I have no opinion about America vs. US state in title. I added more on colonial history, which is strikingly different from elsewhere and clarified the Spanish colonial effort. Kim9988 (talk) 22:18, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Native American slavery[edit]

On 21 June 2021 an anonymous editor changed the text to say pre-contact Native Americans rarely enslaved each other and other changes, without changing the source from Lauber. Someone needs to check what Lauber says specifically about Georgia. It's online; I just don't have time to check now. Kim9988 (talk) 01:00, 23 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
