Nonsense. More than 50% of negroes were free citizens in the first half of the 19 century, 1800-1860. Of those nearly all were farmers. Many were day laborers, frequently unemployed. Under Obama 50% were living in poverty. Under Trump that numberr has fallen below 10%.

Do you have a source for the 50% were free 1800-1860?

Love having those arrows in my quiver when laying out the facts for leftards.

Things like there were more White Christians enslaved in Africa and the ME at the time of our founding than black Africans enslaved in the US.

That Sally Hemings was 3/4 or possibly 7/8 White.
