It is forgotten that everyone, black or white, who lived in the 1700s and 1800s accepted as a “given” that human bondage was OK.

This is absolutely not true. This is endemic of the problem we face.

The progressives taught us all this lie in their government schools over the decades and I’m sick of seeing this kind of sentiment on conservative websites.

Its not true. It was not a “given” that it was “ok” by everybody.

Not true. There were many of the FF who were vehemently against slavery and wanted that addressed in the founding documents. They finally gave in to the others on that issue in order to get an official document signed.
