I send this letter to papers each year as my contribution to Black History Month.

Black History Month should remind people Democrats professed an apparent contradiction as they seceded to begin the Civil War.

They demanded protection where slavery existed, and the right to take their “peculiar property” into the territories. They had demanded trading their property across state lines and that states enforce the Fugitive Slave Law. Yet during prior and final Congressional debates, and in the Confederate Constitution Southerners joined near universal condemnations of international slave trading.

This contradiction vanished when understanding the South was being overrun with its property. Democrat Senator Alfred Iverson of Georgia said before Congress in 1861, “We know well that we never can enjoy equal possession of the territories without protection of our property….. They increase, according to the last census bill, at the rate of 32% every ten years.” The South needed new slave states and plantations to absorb the increasing population.

Over one hundred fifty years later black communities provide voting plurality to the Democrat party and adopt their Pro-Choice sacrament of abortion. According to the Centers for Disease Control, black women in 2021 accounted for 25% of abortions, though blacks constituted 15% of total population. Applying antebellum population growth with the Roe v. Wade decision as a marker would mean 95 million blacks instead of the 50 million currently living.

So, what benefits override the contradiction of providing the Democratic party 90% voting support, compared to the antebellum mandate for contributing 60% of black humanity to enrich the Democrat slave master’s political status?

Nice letter.

Does it ever get published?

You might also point out that black *females* only account for roughly half the black population. So that’s about 7% of the population accounting for 25% of abortions. Ouch.

There’s an imbalance in there somewhere...
