“Pro-Confederates like to blame everyone, anyone, except the slavers themselves.”
I have been very outspoken in denouncing slavers on this site. Recently I took on the notorious slaver Elihu Yale.
I wrote: “Why is there still a Yale University? The name is tainted. The programs are tainted. The professors are tainted. The degrees are tainted.
Seize their assets. Revoke their charter. Demolish the buildings. Give the land back to native Americans. Prohibit the band from playing the Yale fight song.”
What do you want me to do next: advocate destroying the Washington monument?
Oh, sure, you're fearless, a real tiger when it comes to condemning Brits from the 1600s, when slavery was lawful everywhere.
But somehow you have nothing to say about slavers in, say, 1860, decades after both Brits and US Northerners had outlawed the practice.
Why is that?
