I'm not arguing what the Confederate Constitution states, my point is how much is left out of this type of history lesson. I am not one that has ever denied the connection of slavery and the Confederacy. But, there is much of this period in history which is often left out. Have Beck and his guest mentioned slavery, which was still in existance, in the Union states? Have they mentioned the states which didn't secede due to slavery? These are only two points I'll make tonight. It's getting very late for me!
Incomplete versions of history are what I take issue with. Incomplete versions are inherently innacurate due to what is left out.

Beck only has an hour...minus commcerial breaks....and this is just the second show on the black founders...
Colonial Slavery is has drummed into out heads....colonial black freemen have been purged...
The point is to cover new ground...to open eyes...
Hell...how many people know that at least a quarter of the colonial army were black soldiers?

And they both fully disclosed there was racism, etc.....not like it’s a big secret or anything...
