Southern rebellion, treason, the institution of slavery, klan thuggery, and lynching are a disgrace.

I bet if you take a poll, the southern blacks are a lot happier than the northern blacks.

I doubt you will find anyone on here defending lynching or black slavery. By the way, do you want to defend the black crime rate? Blacks killing blacks? You sound very racist.

I looked at your homepage, and was surprised you live in CA. You sound like most of the ignorant Yankees. You probably think you are smart.

Sorry to disappoint you, but smart has nothing to do with knowledge. Your ignorance can be cured. Your arrogance is gonna be with you forever...

Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of happiness... is guarantees to CITIZENS of the UNITED STATES of America. Slavery was LEGAL...

How will you feel when the Gum't takes all of your POSSESSIONS? You brag about your patent, but they can take that away and you can piss in the wind! You seem to think in simpleton terms. I guess your psychology degree allows that!

Slavery is abhorrent. Ignorance is, too! Your posts exemplify ignorance. Follow the dots...

the institution of slavery

I agree slavery is a disgrace. Who was selling black people into slavery?

Why non other than black people selling their own friends and relatives. It is still happening today, only the buyers/ slave owners aren't white people.

Is there outrage about that situation? Very little, if any, - because there is a lot of money to be made keeping blacks angry about the past which no one can change. Keep 'em angry and sending money so Jesse, Al, and their ilk can live the good life while leaving the poor to struggle along as best as they can.

Any black person who is allegedly enraged over something that happened 150 years ago, is mentally ill or making money off of it. There is a payoff/ reward or it wouldn't be happening.

Ole Abe wasn’t concerned with slavery.

Abraham Lincoln Quote
“I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in anyway the social and political equality of the white and black races – that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race. I say upon this occasion I do not perceive that because the white man is to have the superior position the negro should be denied everything.”
by:
Abraham Lincoln
(1809-1865) 16th US President
Source:
Fourth Debate with Stephen A. Douglas at Charleston, Illinois, September 18, 1858
(The Collected Works of Abraham Lincoln edited by Roy P. Basler, Volume III, pp. 145-146.)

Ole dishonest Abe ignored the advice of Congress and his own generals and instead chose to invade the newly formed Nation to his south causing one of the bloodiest wars ever fought on this continent and the deaths of more citizens than those killed in all the wars combined. The cost of Lincoln’s war incurred a debt that sank the nation into the hands and control of international bankers, something this nation has never recovered from. Lincoln signed into law a revenue-raising measure to help pay for Civil War expenses. The measure created a Commissioner of Internal Revenue and the nation’s first income tax. It levied a 3 percent tax on incomes between $600 and $10,000 and a 5 percent tax on incomes of more than $10,000. Our freedom was truly lost when Lincoln implemented that and today it is know as the IRS. No wonder the Federal government loves Lincoln and promotes the misconception of “ole honest Abe”. It was Lincoln who forced large central government and taxation upon us.
