More than a few people have connected Donald Trump's decision to tear apart families seeking asylum at our southern border to the history of American slave-owners separating parents and children for whatever reason they saw fit. It's not the most perfect analogy -- at least not in this state. Because slave-holding Louisiana, believe it or not, had a law against separating enslaved mothers and their young children.
"And be it further enacted," Section 9 of Louisiana's 1806 Code Noir (Black Code) reads, "That every person is expressly prohibited from selling separately from their mothers, the children who shall not have attained the full age of ten years." During 2015's Purchased Lives exhibit at The Historic New Orleans Collection, curator Erin Greenwald said a shipment of 11 children for sale without their parents arrived in New Orleans via the brig Ajax and that the diminutive heights listed on the ship's manifest suggest that some were described as older just to circumvent Louisiana law.
But, still. There was a prohibition on the books.
On Thursday (June 7) The New York Times published a story featuring Jose, a 5-year-old from Honduras who was taken away from his father at the border. The woman assigned to care for the boy in Michigan said Jose cried himself to sleep the first few nights and that the crying was eventually replaced with "just moaning and moaning."
If an 1806 Louisiana law prohibited an enslaved child under 10 from being sold away from his father or mother, and there are reports of children half as young and younger being separated from their parents in 2018, then that means Louisiana's slave law was more humane.
The Trump administration is full of people who the prophet Jeremiah describes as having "no shame at all;they do not even know how to

Freed Slaves not being sent back to Africa en mass was a colossal mistake and America has paid dearly for it. Illegal immigration is equally going to kill the Republic further.
So, if I understand correctly, a slave picking cotton on a southern plantation had a much better quality of life and more rights than an illegal alien.
Which leads me to ask, what f#cking and twisted alternate reality does the author live in?
Must drink directly from the mighty Mississippi.

A point of history that is seldom spoken of is the Free Slaves of Louisiana that fought in the civil war for The South. Although rare some Free Slaves also became plantation owners and businessmen. In South Louisiana and in particular to the New Orleans area. New Orleans has always been a melting pot of many races. Sadly today it is much different. The free blacks fought for the South as it was in their particular financial interest.
My post is just a footnote of politically incorrect history though it is true.
More than a few had plantations. These were mostly ‘high yellows’.
Simple Solution :
The children can stay with their parents while their parents are in the chain-gangs on the Southern Border digging the MOAT (in front of the Wall) for 10 years, and THEN they can all TOGETHER be expelled from the country for their crime.
Simply say to any libtard - “what is it about ‘Illegal’ you dont get ? Then propose a “Libtard Tax” ON THEM to help pay for the whole project.
Shrieking Libtards - smells like Victory.
More than a few people are idiots, but I repeat myself.
Sorry, but I don’t understand your response. Please clarify.
Great - now we can just enslave them under the law they cite and claim it’s a “step in the right direction”......should make some folks happy that progress is being made....
They did if they came after 1808. As of Jan 1 1808, it became illegal to import slaves into the country.
“A point of history that is seldom spoken of is the Free Slaves of Louisiana that fought in the civil war for The South.”
Presume you are referring to the 1st Louisiana Native Guard Regt of Militia. Formed in late 1861, it was disbanded in April of 1862. The Louisiana legislature passed a law in Jan 1862 the limited militia service to “free white males capable of bearing arms. Before disbanding, the 1st LNG saw no combat. After it was disbanded, Some of its members did join the 1st Louisiana Native Guard U.S. This unit eventually became the 75th USCT. It would appear if free slaves of Louisiana fought in the Civil War, it was for the Union.
