Britain banned slavery throughout the Empire in 1833 almost 70 years after the Declaration.
Unsurprisingly the NYTimes is going on its own version of facts, a habit of very long standing with them.
The idea that slavery was the defining issue in the rebellion is obviously bunk. However, Lord Mansfield’s ruling in the Somersett case did leave many southern placeholders worried that the ruling that slavery was illegal on English soil was undoubtedly a factor that caused many plantation owners to side with the rebellion. Lord Dunmore’s establishing of the “Ethiopia Regiment” promising freedom in return for military service for the crown also worried many.
A little off subject but . . . .
The Gettysburg National Museum in Harrisburg PA has an interactive system that tells the story of the Civil War as you stroll through it. One of the features is a computer with the names of everyone who fought in the Civil War - on both sides!
I looked up my last name and found one match. A Sargent who fought for the North.
So I figure my family name is free from the repercussions of “Reparations”!
I just wonder if the American people are stupid enough to believe this. The Leftists are counting on the fact that Americans have been dumbed down enough by Leftists who have been running public education for the last 70 years and laid the foundation.
Any and all newly produced history books will enthusiastically promote this lie, along with college professors, who damn well better know which side of their bread to butter if they want a job or tenure.
I talked with a nephew who was taking an American history course in college and was surprised to find that American history is taught today based on the perspective of white supremacy.
I bought what was supposed to be a cutting edge biography of Andrew Jackson, and, yes, there it was — Jackson was a white supremacist.
I would say it's not important to me just because you say it is.
What if I told you that America is a country born both of an idea and a lie?
I would say, "Well, you seem to be a pretty good liar yourself!"
The OUTRIGHT lies and deceit of the Democratic Leftists knows no bounds. This is a LIE. Pure and Simple. And they try to use lies like this to continue there sick, demented, perverted changing of history to get their way of destroying out Constitutional Republic!!
we need to realize that America and especially our constitution, representative governance, and individual liberties, are under seige......from within ... by outright enemies of us and everything we cherish and value in this country
they want to impose a far leftist (communist-nazi-progressive, use whatever wording you believe fits best) dictatorship.....period, end of file...and they’re quite open about their objectives (just listen to the DNC “debates” and several of their “leading” candidates!...all clearly SorozNazi puppets and.or?
and they have co=conspirators (or allied puppets and useful idiots, more precisely) in the mass media (and Hollywood) aiding and abetting them... every day... with every mass media propagandistic “news” report......and with a number of actors shooting off their mouths like idiots, all apeing Big Lies about America, Christians and Jews, and of course basic moral values...(Goebbels would be SO proud!)
We (well, white folks) stole the land the NY times is sitting on—but they keep publishing anyway!
Hypocrites—native Americans should own and run that newspaper—now!

It’s s stinking shame that we have to defend our American Heritage from these filthy morons.
It has been estimated that approximately 675,000 Negroes were brought to the U.S. to be slaves. When you consider that 660,000 men DIED during the Civil War to free them (That doesn’t include those that were injured), you’d think that we as Americans have done plenty to try resolve the slave problem.
But these absolute fools continue to stoke the flames to try to malign the most wonderful country that ever existed.
Trump supporters aren’t white supremist, but we do realize that western civilization is far superior to others. They even know it in Hong Kong.
Im happy to give NY back to the U.K.
Stalinists lie. Always.
When is Mother Africa going to finally ban slavery?
A case of truth over facts by the Nazi Times.
I’m tired of this crap. It is nothing more than an effort to stir up blacks for the election.
