Patrick Henry has recently been outed because he owned a slave. 😒
That’s actually in part why I’m motivated for Henry, outside of his apparent popularity.
Patrick Henry had abolitionist leanings. He was a fan of Anthony Benezet, the first prominent abolitionist on either side of the Atlantic. Benezet was known to many of the Founders. Henry received a copy of Benezet’s work from a friend, Robert Pleasants.
The founders don’t deserve to be smeared with this junk, but the only reason progressives can get away with it is because they’ve controlled history for so long and the schools have been surrendered.
The way to solve this problem is to put it on YouTube. I hear that’s a high profile website.
Unsurprisingly, Henry had the most replies here. I highly doubt that’s because I made the mention. I do my fair share of lurking. I see who gets mentioned.
