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.
No problem.
The North wants everyone to believe they were slave free.
Not so!🥴
A lot of the North had slaves.
Also blacks owned black and WHITE SLAVES .. something else hidden from most of us.🥱

There were BLACK slave owners in the Union States, as well as the white owners.
The Emancipation Proclamation only eliminated slavery in the Confederate States. That was done to shut down the financially profitable cotton and tobacco plantations of the South.
