Military officers have no civil authority except under martial law. SCOTUS decision ex-parte Milligan ruled that only congress can declare martial law.

No he didn’t. He was an Army officer with no civil authority. Forty acres and a mule would have been like General Hodges turning German land over to Jews in 1945.

Penny didn’t commit murder. He restrained a violent, mentally ill man who should have been institutionalized instead of being released over and over and over again for crimes. Regardless of race he did the right thing.

yes. A slave was more valuable than a cow, mule or horse and no smart owner abused any of those. Did it happen? YES, but it didn't happen often. For one reason an abused slave couldn't work and a slave that couldn't work was a financial loss to the owner.

No one was promised forty acres and a mule. That's an urban legend. From Wikki: "Forty acres and a mule refers to a key part of Special Field Orders, No. 15 (series 1865), a wartime order proclaimed by Union general William Tecumseh Sherman on January 16, 1865, during the American Civil War...

Who said we should? They just got White Privilege. You mean the privilege to starve in the street when their employers turned them out without notice? You are the one saying whites got a lot of free stuff that blacks didn't which is a lie.

The League of Nations divided up what the Ottoman called Trans-Jordan into Jordan for the Muslims and Israel for the Jews. They left the British to administer the removal and resettlement of the Muslims into Jordan, or another of the ex-Ottoman countries. The Brits did nothing until the UN...

How would China get troops to Iran? It doesn’t share a border with Iran, Russia isn’t going to allow large numbers of Chinese troops to cross its territory and China lacks the sealift to move troops to Taiwan, let alone thousands of miles to Iran.

Russia was behind the entire anti- Vietnam War movement. They were trying to topple our government. Many of the current democratic leaders came out of that movement. Both Russia and China have spent large amounts of money in recent elections to get politicians friendly to them elected. So...

The Davy Crockett was a failure because the blast radius was nearly as large as the range of the weapon. However, even in the seventies Special forces had “backpack nukes” called SADMs that weighed less than sixty pounds and were designed to be carried by Special forces troops infiltrating...

Wrong.

And the white immigrants had it far worse than the slaves did. Slaves were valuable property and were very rarely abused. White immigrants were a cost to businesses and disposable. No one cared that they got mangled in industrial accidents, suffocated in mine cave-ins or died from diseases...

The Māoris got treated better than the Aborigines because they could and had fought back. Most people were racist or nationalist in the forties. Oddly enough the draft in WW 2 ended a lot of the inter country of origin hostility in the USA. Draftees found the Irish, Polish, Czechs, Scots...

Why should blacks get anything for free? None of my ancestors did. One was Scots who came over on an indenture in the 1760s, another was Irish who came over in the Civil War, another was a Swede and my great grandmother was a Comanche. None of them got anything for free. The only free thing...

Also look at how the Kiwis were treating the native Māori s at the time. They were treated far worse than American Blacks were even in the deep south during Jim Crow.
