I have no doubt that there were Unionist slave owners in Delaware, Maryland, Kentucky, and Missouri. Grant’s in-laws were two of them. As for the capitol dome, whether slaves worked on that is unknown. There is no evidence that they did and no evidence that they did not

The US Congress commissioned a study in 2005 that concluded that they did....though yes the exact records are spotty. They certainly were used to build much of the rest of Washington DC and Lincoln was in no hurry to free them.


Pointing out yet another example of your false claims and bald-faced lies is not “obfuscation”. It’s looking like a full-time career.

Pointing out your BS and lies takes up a considerable amount of time. Fortunately, I enjoy it so I’ll just keep right on doing it.

The 2005 study found that slave labor was used to build the Capitol building between 1793 and 1826. You specifically referred to slaves being used to build the Capitol dome thirty-odd years later. There is no evidence showing slaves worked on that, and no evidence that they didn't either so your claim that they did may or may not be true. But that didn't stop you from making the claim without evidence to support it.

They certainly were used to build much of the rest of Washington DC and Lincoln was in no hurry to free them.

Congress freed them in D.C. in April 1862.

Well let's see. In the one original post I pointed out that you lied when you claimed Grant owned slaves through the Civil War and you lied on your blanket claim that slaves built the Capitol dome. And you're fighting my lies?
