OMG: Roy Moore said in September that the last time America was great was when we had slavery
In Alabama, the heart of Trump country, many think he's backing the wrong candidate in Senate race
wow, early 18th century! This guy is something else.
No, 'we' didn't have slavery. YOU had slavery.
What the hell are you blathering on about? The north had slavery. As a matter of fact it was the great shipping families of the north that made their fortunes running slaves from Africa to America.
Biggest enablers of slavery were Yankees.
ahem...
Oh I'm not making this up. Not at all. The biggest and the best and the most successful slave traders were Yankees. Without them, there would have been no slaves from Africa in America.
The North owns the slave trade.
"James DeWolf of Bristol, Rhode Island (1764-1837) was a United States senator and a wealthy merchant who, at the time of his death, was reported to be the second richest person in the country.
He was also the leading slave trader in the history of the United States.
Over fifty years and three generations, from 1769 to 1820, James DeWolf and his extended family brought approximately 12,000 enslaved Africans across the Middle Passage, making the DeWolf
1 family our nation’s most successful slave-trading family.
In a notorious incident aboard the slaving ship
Polly in 1789, James DeWolf ordered an enslaved woman, dead or dying of smallpox, thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. While there was an attempt later to prosecute him for this act, he was found not guilty, on the grounds that this was his duty as ship’s captain. (See below, “
The incident aboard the Polly.”)
One of our founders,
James DeWolf Perry, is a direct descendant of James DeWolf, and co-founder Katrina Browne, producer/director of our documentary film,
Traces of the Trade, is descended from another member of the extended DeWolf slave-trading family."
