“Slavery was indeed bad”. What’s with the “was”? There are more slaves in Africa and Asia today than at any point in world history. Do the people screaming about slavery 200 years ago in the U.S. even care? No. They don’t care.

It is entirely possible to have a compartmentalized discussion.

Thank you.

Pennsylvania and Massachusetts passed laws to end slavery in their states in 1780… before the revolution was over, 9 years before the Constitution went into effect, and over 50 years before the British outlawed it. They were the first political bodies in the world to outlaw the practice. Those two states set the tone for the other Northern states which all followed through over the next 25 years.

Does the Smithsonian ever mention that? Do any of the drone brain dead leftists at the Smithsonian even know that. I doubt it. They only know what their leftist professors told them.

They can't milk it for money and power, so it really doesn't matter to them.

Slavery never mattered to the elites in this country other than it's value as a path to power.
