Robert Zubrin: "Zimmerman's ground-breaking history provides every future generation the basic framework for establishing new societies on other worlds. We would be wise to heed what he says."The human race is about to go to the stars. Big rockets are being built, and nations and private citizens worldwide are planning the first permanent settlements in space.When we get there, will we know what to do to make those first colonies just and prosperous places for all humans?Conscious Choice answers this question, by telling a riveting and accurate history of the first century of British settlement in North America. That was when those settlers were building their own new colonies, and had to decide whether to include slaves from Africa.In New England slavery was vigorously rejected. The Puritans wanted nothing to do with this institution, desiring instead to form a society of free religious families, a society that became the foundation of the United States of American, dedicated to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.In Virginia however slavery was gladly embraced, resulting in a corrupt social order built on power, rule, and oppression.Why the New England citizens were able to reject slavery, and Virginians were not, is the story that Conscious Choice tells, a story with direct implications for all human societies, whether they are here on Earth or on the farflung planets across the universe.What others are saying:Rand Simberg:"In its '1619 Project,' a false and libelous narrative of America's past has recently been promoted by the New York Times. In a useful corrective, Zimmerman's book provides well-documented and new historical insights into the true history of slavery in colonial English America, with a cautionary warning for future settlers off the planet."Douglas Mackinnon"When humankind finally does venture forth to colonize the moon, Mars, and beyond, it is essential that each colonist have this book downloaded onto their tablet. It will guide them and most likely save them."James Bennett:"How was slavery born in the deep south of the United States? Robert Zimmerman's book Conscious Choice provides the answer, in a well-researched, detailed, but readable book free of academic jargon. He shows that slavery was not predetermined but was instead a series of conscious choices made by key individuals of that day. He also shows that it was not necessary, as demonstrated by the decision of the northern British colonies to reject it."Zimmerman then uses this history to show how it provides lessons to future explorers when they found their own new colonies in space."

Robert Zimmerman has done a great deal of research and provides a tremendous service by getting down into the nitty-gritty of early English settlement in North America. We discover in this book just how complicated the history of slavery is in what is now the United States. According to the author, part of the blame for the establishment of slavery was that, unlike the New England settlements by religious communities such as the Pilgrims and the Puritans, the Virginia Colony was purely a money-making enterprise where production of valuable tobacco was the all-encompassing goal. The result was that the settlers were overwhelmingly single males with few families, no schools, and few churches. Further, the vile "headright" laws which granted additional lands for paying passage of new immigrants encouraged the importation of labor not only because of the additional land, but because the workers brought in were indentured servants for years after their arrival. Obviously, wealthy plantation owners could afford to take advantage of the "headright" laws while most others could not. Also in the mix was the fact that the Virginia land grants were given to "Royalists", i.e. the governors of the Virginia Colony were believers in the rigid class-based royalist doctrine of a privileged class and rule from above. The governing elite, therefore were not disposed to think of their servants, whether indentured servants or black slaves, as potentially equals to themselves. It is not surprising that in such a system with few family units, no schools or churches to teach ethics, laws designed to enrich the already wealthy, and thousands of indentured whites, that black slavery would find a home. Zimmerman believes that the history of the Virginia and New England settlements can provide valuable lessons for how to (and how NOT to) establish new human settlements in space. I think he is correct. "Conscious Choice" is filled with references to original sources and research, but with the footnotes at the end, the references are not intrusive. It is worthy. in my mind, of being a doctoral dissertation. Very well done.
