[ Most people forget that Slavery was in fact going on in the Caribbean for almost 200 years for before it came to the U.S.. ]
A lot of people either forget or were never taught the truth about slavery in the new world and the old world and it’s contrasts and what actually led to it’s eradication in the west, (sorry PC people it still lives on in the “Culturally diverse” east).
Too many damned morons also don’t get the whole meaning behind the “3/5 clause” in the constitution and HOW it was one of the things that led to slavery’s destruction in the US.
Best way to get a liberal to get whiplash is to mention after they whine about 3/5 that the Northern ABOLITIONISTS wanted slaves to count as ZERO PEOPLE in the constitution.
They sputter and say that can’t be true then wen you point out how and why counting them as FULL people would have led to the south steam rolling the north in the house of reps and CODIFYING SLAVERY they kinda look stunned....
Of course there were those who didn't want them to be counted - why should they be if they weren't to be allowed representation?
And don't forget that the 3/5ths compromise was originated when the south wanted slaves to count as ZERO PEOPLE for the purpose of apportionment of taxes.
