Big Time Vanity, Feel Free to Pass it on to Snowflakes!

Please Boycott and do NOT use the $1.00, $20.00, $50.00, & $100.00 bills, as they depict slave owners on them. Please send them to me, and I will see to it that they are disposed of properly. Thank you very much. I can give you my address upon request!

Slavery was legal in every U.S. Colony prior to the revolution. A vast majority of the signers of the Declaration of Independance and the Constitution where slave holders.

Slavery was an accepted way of life in early colonial America. Without the work of slaves and indentured servants, the growing economy of the colonies would have been limited. Almost all of our country’s founding fathers owned slaves at one time or another, including Benjamin Franklin.

Franklin owned two slaves, George and King, who worked as personal servants, and his newspaper, the Pennsylvania Gazette, commonly ran notices involving the sale or purchase of slaves and contracts for indentured laborers.

(Thank You and I knew some of this but hate when some can’t handle a lil humor!) JEEZE after-all it’s a vanity!
