If you take up arms, and murder an American citizen or citizen's regardless of color, gender or whatever you are, and you do so in this country called America, then yes you or anybody becomes an enemy to the United States at that point in time......... This country will lock your ace up, and in some cases it will execute you, otherwise if you do such a thing whether be it in singularity form or in mass.
The United States fought a war against those whom unfortunately were taught that something like slavery was legal for year's (i.e. the working of Mexicans for pennies on the dollar - Oh wait my bad, let's roll it back- I meant to say for slaving blacks while only giving them room and board, and giving them their food and meager belongings while they were sadly legal and binding slaves on the plantation having no other rights due to the title of them being slaves.......
Finally thank God, slavery was made illegal, and it was about time, but it caught the plantation owners/farmer's by surprise because it came at a time when modern day farm equipment wasn't invented yet. So the owner's rebelled against the move of freeing their labor force's without remedies offered.
Can you imagine having 5,000 acres that need picking in the 110° heat, otherwise when modern cotton picker machines didn't exist, and when well off white kid's or older youth wasn't willing to do the picking, and especially for nothing but essentials in return ????
So all at once you had the "hand picker labor force's" (comprising of thousands of picker's), who were highly skilled even though forced to labor in the fields doing the"cotton picking in the 18 hundred's being freed without remedy...... They had been liberated without a solution to replace them in the fields during the time immediately. Huge dilemma for those farmer's that were surrounded by a monstrous task, yet would now have to set these slaves free... That posed a huge threat for their harvest in the way that it was all set up.
Remember slavery was an American thing, and not just a southern thing.
The confusion pit brother against brother in one of the bloodiest wars in US history due to the politics of it all.
It all came down to the harvest, and how to replace so much labor in the situation, and so the elite of the time were being threatened in many ways where as they were to find another way or else, and they were on their own in that quest. It all worked out finally, and the error of the elites ways back then were corrected. We are a work in progress always, but in 2023 we are regressing not progressing, and that needs to be found out as to why, otherwise who is causing these regressive rift's again today ?
