Now it’s time once again to fight against slavery, the slavery of government making men work 7 months a year to pay for gifts to others.
Good post.
All men are shaped and limited by the times and the society they live in, and yet some men are able to see a little farther and a little more clearly than their fellows.
Fascinating article — thanks for posting. I had never heard of this Founding Father before. Bookmarked!
What a wonderful man. That shows you how the love of God and truth can change the heart of man - the greatest miracle on earth! Thank you for that article - was music to my soul!
Excellent post. Thank you.

The left absolutely hates the FACT that it wa republicans and their principles that freed blacks fromslavery. The democrats have as their inheritance that thei people and their party fought AGAINST this. You can fast forward to today and still see elements of slavery in their policies as they constantly seek to keep people down and regulate freedom to the point of total loss.

Never heard of him and I was a history major in Columbia College and for a Masters at the U. Of Houston.
I wonder if the acts of this good man weren’t considered worthy of mention by the educational elite because they defied the stereotype of the horrible Southerner.
“This was by far the largest emancipation in American history until Lincoln signed The Emancipation Proclamation.”
Actually, the EP didn’t free much. It could not be enforced in the only places it applied when those places were not under any Federal control. Nor was it freeing any slaves held in the so-called “loyal” territories.
Thanks for the posting; fascinating. I am well aware of KING CARTER but did not know about his grandson’s enlightenment overall.
These are probably the only, genuinely “illustrious” ancestors I have in my direct lines, through his second wife Elizabeth Landon Carter. Their plantation house at Corotoman Creek was something else, especially for the era.
Their descendant, Landon Carter, was my fifth great grandfather, who fought in the Revolution in Virginia, and then settled in NC to live out the rest of his days. There were and are many men named Landon Carter, so the genealogy can be quite confusing.
Great Article: Thanks for the wittness of this man, and others like him! AMAZING GRACE.
His half-brother was a slave. Wow.
At another time, a poet wrote,
“The deed of gift was many deeds of war.”
Beautiful story. “King” Carter married into my grandmother’s family tree. He is my first cousin (in-law) 9x removed. I had nothing on his grandson Robert III. Thank you for posting.
