What about the slavery based society in Soviet Russia that Uncle Walter wrote so glowingly about back in the early '30s for the Times?

The United States was formed as a nation in 1776. British colonies practiced slavery. Why isn’t the times condemning Britain?
(Because they hate the USA which D Trump loves because they hate D Trump.)
” New York “ was named after the Duke of York, who made his fortune off of the slave trade.
Brown and Yale universities were named after, and heavily endowed by, highly successful slave traders.
Don’t expect The New York Times to reveal these uncomfortable facts to their ever-dwindling subscribers. That would be stepping on the toes of too many limousine-liberals.
It’d be pretty comical if they demanded anything containing “New York” change it’s name to something more acceptable.
The author misses the slavery practiced throughout the Americas by the indigenous populations before Columbus and on.
Leland Stanford is widely considered a robber baron. I guess the University does not mind that at all.
Or was New York named after the city of York (England).
Also, Indians practiced slavery and cannibalism... I didn’t see that mentioned in the prior to 1619 section.
Until Brian Williams acknowledges that he was there in 1619 and witnessed the beginning of slavery in North America, I’ll have to take this story with a grain of salt.
“The day the Constitution was ratified. On June 21, 1788, the Constitution became the official governing document of the United States of America when New Hampshire became the ninth of 13 states to ratify it. The journey to ratification, however, was a long and arduous process.”
****************
Once the Constitution was ratified, we became the United States of America.
***************
“Slavery officially ended in the United States on December 6, 1865, after the 13th amendment to the constitution was passed and ratified, abolishing slavery across the nation.”
***********************
So slavery existed for 77 years inside the US. It took a civil war and the death of 618,000 to free the slaves.
How long did Portugal, Great Britain, Spain, and the Dutch take, transport, and sell slaves? How long has slavery existed in Muslim lands?
How come the word “slave” comes from the word “slav”? Would it be because the Muslims enslaved people from Europe.
Revisionist historians are at work.
The first slaves in the colonies were Irish children.
It seems that revisionist historians are

What we should be celebrated in 2019 is the 400th anniversary of the first representative government in the English colonies. Without the experience of self-government during the colonial era, it is hard to imagine the Revolutionary generation resisting Parliament's violations of their rights, and virtually impossible to imagine the Founding Fathers creating a successful republic. Compare the history of the Spanish colonies in the New World--and their post-independence histories.
I point out, long before Jamestown, the Navarez expedition of 1527, the shipwreck of Cabeza de Baca and the slave Estavan the Moor, who were made slaves by the Indians, freed by the Spanish.
Then the slave Estaban later went with Frey Marcos de Niza back into New Mexico where Estaban was killed by the tribesmen.
They are celebrating 1619 so can call a celebration in 2019 and start the focus on slavery before next years election. Pure propaganda.
Also the times of Captain John Hawkins who bought slaves from an African King, sold them throughout Spanish America till his fleet was destroyed at Vera Cruz.
His Africans then were taken by the Spanish and sold to the highest bidder in Mexico.
Hawkins and Francis Drake got some “Pay back” with the destruction of the Spanish Armada not long after.
No, even Google hasn’t gotten around to censoring this fact.
New York was named after James Stuart, the Duke of York, who made his considerable fortune off of the slave trade.
An inconvenient truth for the cultural cleansers.
The first indentured servants were brought here by the Portuguese. The English at Virginia Beach did not want them. But because of fearing for their lives finally said they would take them. They were not slaves at first. That happened around 1650 I think it was. There were free blacks in Jamestown.
They have the record in court of when slavery started. The words of the judge ect.
Left out the White slaves who were transported to the colonies by the British from their prisons.
And left out the malaria angle where most White slaves died within the first year while the Black slaves did not.
