New York did have slaves!

Heck .. The family that owned the New York Times were slaveholders!

As a matter of fact New York was named after the great Trader of African Slaves, the head of The Royal African Company ... King James II, also known as the Duke of York

Thank you, l never mind being corrected. My mistake l just assumed NY was never a slave area since they were a northern state. As reparations we should give the NYT to Thomas Sowell.
