“Does this stupid old deluded bitch not understand that it was her party that was the party of slavery, the Confederacy, secession , the Civil War, Jim Crow Laws and created the KKK?”

And we also need to explain to this erstwhile Senator from New York that her state voted to enshrine slavery into the United States Constitution.

If not for the pro-slavery votes of New York, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Delaware, and Maryland the provisions in the constitution requiring apportionment of Representatives based on three fifths of “all other Persons” would never have existed, just to cite one example of New York complicity in the peculiar institution.

Of course, don't let me forget to mention that Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia were also slave states.

The acceptance of slavery was unfortunately necessary so Southern states so it could be ratified. And while the North didn't go to war to end slavery per se, the South certainly went to war to preserve it. Where are you from? Were your ancestors Confederates? Did any of them own slaves? My ancestor fought for The Army of The Potomac.
