[TwelveOfTwenty]

There were 4 million slaves. Given the narrative put forth, one would think there would be thousands of pictures of slave's whipped backs, but this one particular photo is the one which is almost always used. I think I may have seen other photos of slaves showing scars from whipping or torture, but not very many.

If they had iPhones then yes, but taking pictures was not very common back then. I doubt the slave holders were proud of this anyway. In this case the pictures were taken after the escape.

So is this particular photo deliberate propaganda, and is actually spreading a deliberate lie? Or does this photo represent the norm?

Unless this photo is fake, it is spreading the truth.

In this case the pictures were taken after the escape.

Exactly. 4 million slaves escaped, and yet there is only one picture.

In this case the pictures were taken after the escape.

The best lies carry a kernel of truth. They call the January 6 walk through the capitol building an "Insurrection!" and they have a few teeny tiny examples of "violence" to prove it was an insurrection.

Is this view the truth, or is this tiny bit of truth being used to protect a huge lie?
