I'd like to ask the brainless leftist asshole who believe that we should tear down Confederate memorials and statues "because they defended slavery"...just who do they think fought for "slavery" in the Civil War?
Do they know that only a very small percentage of very rich plantation owners (both black and White) had almost all of the slaves? That the regular southern people did not, and thus were not "guilty" of the sin of slavery?
And do those same hateful destroyers believe that we should:
Destroy the pyramids because Egypt had slaves, and they likely built the pyramids?
Destroy the monuments and ruins of ancient Rome, because they also had slaves who likely participated in the building of them?
Destroy all the pyramids and other ruins of Aztecs and Incas because they had slaves - and human sacrifice...that was actually practiced on those pyramids?
Destroy Mecca and everything associated with izlam because that religion CURRENTLY PRACTICES slavery in both the Middle East and in Africa?
Destroy every important, historical building/monument/religious icon in Africa because they are the ones that SOLD the black slaves to America...in the first place - it was, and IS their culture, so everything that culture has ever done or built is compromised...and of course, they CURRENTLY PRACTICE slavery?
Destroy the Taj Mahal (whose builder was a muzlim) and all other Indian sites of historical significance, because India once practiced slavery, the Cast System, and the burning of living wives when their husbands died?
Just asking.
Oh...that's right, they just hate America, White People, and particularly the American South and Southerners. It has NOTHING to do with historical slavery at all.
Nevermind.

To all those who think slavery was solely a “Southern institution,” think again. In 1703, 42 percent of New York’s households had slaves, much more than Philadelphia and Boston combined. Among the colonies’ cities, only Charleston, South Carolina, had more. The profits from the slave trade and products of slave labor, according to a new exhibition, fueled the world’s first industrial revolution. Attributing slavery only to the South does a terrible disservice. Further, after the War when the Northern slaves were freed almost a million of them were allowed to starve due to no longer being profitable and often replaced by the Irish in factories and mills. All in the compassionate North.
ReplyDeleteAh, History. Too bad it's no longer taught in American Government Schools...
