Outrageous that the first words about Georg Washington on his Wiki is “slave owner”.
But when you go back in history, almost any Roman citizen of means had a slave or two.
The Julius Caesar wikipedia entry says nothing about his slaves. But several paragraphs down the page it casually mentions that he 1 million people from Gaul slaves.
Slavery was an accepted way of life for centuries. Automation and technology changed that.
Trump was right. We can’t live as a nation with political correctness.
“Automation and technology...”
Yep. I was taught in 4th grade that the inventions of the internal combustion engine and the cotton gin made the abolition of slavery *possible* for the first time.
We were also taught that Africans had been considered good farm workers because they didn’t sunburn like white people did.
