Of course the marriages existed, and they were documented where I said. Check the 1850 census again. You will find that the census taker asked if marriages had occurred. You are simply wrong.

I believe you are the one who is wrong. How could a marriage be registered in the census when it did not legally exist? Why would slaves be surveyed in the census in the first place when they were not considered people?

Here is the 1850 census form. As you can see it was filled in by free inhabitants of a given locality and not by slaves.

he's not wrong. instead he's doing what he does: SPREADING the PROPAGANDA of the most extreme LEFTIST/statist/lunatic fringe of academia.

always remember that N-S is a PROPAGANDIST first & foremost & that LYING is his trade.UNFORTUNAYELY, he is GOOD at it.
