Of course the Dems are pro-slavery. They’ve enslaved everyone of us.
Uncomfortably close to their own indeed it’s why they keep rewriting history it helps in the dumbing down act and the MSM is eager to help.
It’s a long, but very interesting read as far as I had time to go. This was my take-away from it:
“Calhoun and the antebellum thinkers behind the positive defense of slavery in the nineteenth century represent the first major criticism of American founding principles – principles the American conservative movement seeks to preserve – as well as the intellectual seed for the later Progressive movement and what is considered modern-day liberalism.”
Thanks for the post.
The only real objection that modern leftists have to chattel slavery in America is that the slaves were privately owned.
She really should have cited George Fitzhugh’s real opus:
Cannibals All! or, Slaves Without Masters (1857). It is in effect a founding document of the modern Democrat party, and was called by Abraham Lincoln, “The most dangerous book ever written.”

Importantly, it has been in print ever since.
