Ping!
Sometimes wonderful things appear every now and then. There’s currently a Bastiat book being worked on I’ll ping you guys when that gets completed too.
Add a few others also, another friendly, no reply necessary.
Slavery was strictly forbidden in the Northwest Territory. And who devised the plan to organize the Northwest Territory?
Jefferson.
Might as well get this out of the way, so when I reference this book in the future none of you can claim that you are surprised to see it.
I would like to offer an olive branch to you guys though. What books (And I’m going to insist, pre-Civil War) might you be interested in seeing transformed into an audio book so that it has new life? I’m genuinely curious.
Let it be stated, I asked first.
In theory. In practice, he was not.
Thank you P.A., good stuff.
What is often neglected in their rants about slavery in America by leftists are some facts: Slavery existed in Africa way before it came here, Africans enslaving other Africans and the first slave traders in America were Africans. Granted, we did not make it any better until the Civil War and even later, probably started in earnest during the 1960’s. Yes, Jefferson had “slaves” but from what I’ve read they were more like servants and treated well. He released two while living and 5 were released after his death. The slaves he had were better off than many American citizens. But Al Sharpton, his followers and Americans who had nothing to do with the past, but feel guilty somehow just have to keep “racism” alive. We did have a half black president with a black wife by the way. Racism will die when the racists do if that ever happens, seems like there is money in it, just ask AL.
