America actually did quite well after slavery was abolished, and the N. states’ slave-free industrial economy won the Civil War.
The American Nation is an amalgamation of 11 different sub-nations that were settled by different peoples with different goals and different religious ideas. (See American Nations by Colin Woodard)
Only the Deep South Lowlands - settled by planters from Barbados - adopted a social/economic model based on Black African Slavery. A few of the other 10 sub-nations went along and most rebelled against the savage slavery model from the start.
What many revisionists and liberals fail to understand is that slavery existed on this continent long before white men set foot on it.
‘Ultimately, more than 750,000 men died in the conflict that would finally end the wicked institution of slavery in America once and for all.’
Therefore, the Civil War was fought over Slavery?
So sorry I recently tossed my college texts (70's).
Western white Christian men are the only people to have ended the accepted practice of slavery. I am proud of that. Pound sand, NYT.
Ping.
This is the anti-American version of history that your children and grandchildren are being indoctrinated with at government schools and many private schools. That is why the next generation of voters is convinced that Socialism is the answer to our problems in this country. Their goal is equality, not liberty.
Shame on lazy adults who have not objected to this attack on freedom, which we have financed with our money.
Slavery still exists today. Most modern-day slavery involves muslims, as it has for centuries.
In this particular case, they are either (a) blind to the differences in society between 1619, 1860 and 2019, or (b) they are simply trying to divide and conquer the country. My personal vote is for the latter conclusion because whatever we think of their motives and actions, they are NOT stupid - deluded by their own voices and determination to avoid God, but not stupid.
Slavery built very little. It is/was a failed economic system, which was already in relative decline against the free-labor practices of the industrial north.
It was a typical forced, crony-capitalist system, which benefited a few wealthy people and governments, but besides the slaves, also suppressed wages for poor whites.
That slavery “built America” another ignorant, emotive leftist, race-mongering slogan which is exactly WRONG.
The ultimate demise of slavery was built into the Declaration. It made it problematic from the start and set it on the road to abolishment.
WUT?! You mean we weren’t perfect from day one and still aren’t and never will be? I’m shocked I tell ya! Hey nyt, FOAD!
NYT and the Dem Thug Party knows it lost a good chunk of the so-called minority vote. And it only has the false charge of racism to offer.
The Dems are nasty, depraved scum.
It was not the USA that practiced slavery. It was a British colony. The USA abolished slavery.
Natives Americans enslaved other Native Americans.
Europeans arrived (primarily from the British Empire) and brought African slaves over.
The British had African slaves here for 150 years.
Americans didn’t like the immoral and tyrannical policies of the British Empire. We rejected them, rebelled and broke away.
It took us almost 90 years, but we eventually cleaned up the mess that the British had made, and we established a country where all people are free. That was over 150 years ago.
So, how are we the bad guys?
It always irks me that blacks actually believe black soldiers were placed in the front lines b/c whites wanted them killed first.
Black soldiers were in the front lines b/c they were the bravest, the best, the most courageous soldiers.....demonstrating to the enemy that our army was to be feared.
The Ministry of Propaganda continues to undermine America and the ideals for which she was founded.
