About The Author

In 1995, Mathew Foggy, Jr. began his research into the role of Unpaid Laborers and the Unpaid Labor system in pre-colonial America, colonial America, and the United States of America.That research focusing primarily on the period 1607-1865 yielded the incontrovertible fact that no decision of social, political, military, or economic import was taken by our nation without having to first consider the reciprocal impact on Unpaid Laborers and the Unpaid Labor System. It also revealed that African Unpaid Laborers made the founding and perpetuation of the United States possible, enabling it to become the greatest nation in modern history. That revelation led in turn to a profound sense of responsibility to ensure that the millions of people who gave their whole lifetimes for 12 Generations be honored permanently in the nation’s history for their indispensable collective contribution. Mathew is the great-grandson of an American slave and the 3rd free generation in his family. His grandfather, Elige Foggy, was born in1866, just a few months after the ratification of the 13th Amendment to the U.S.Constitution, which abolished slavery. Elige became the first free generation of the Foggy family.
