BWAA HAHAHAH HA! Absolutely perfect! The Marxist Left loves to pillory the Founding Fathers as slave owners when, in fact, that was the norm throughout human history to that point. The very term slave is derived from the word Slove. The Roman word for the white folks they conquered in Eastern Europe and placed into bondage as spoils of war. As usual, the libs put up a straw man issue to further the destruction of Western values and way of life.

By the way. The phrase “sold down the river” refers to African blacks taking slaves in tribal warfare and selling some of them to mostly Arab slave traders who would then sell them to the Europeans. Most travel in Africa was via river traffic. Thus the Sold down the river phrase.
