[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Call them slavers yet they were and still are Democrats.

They were conservatives back then, just like you now.

Bullshit. You are puking your guts out knowing the party they were in is Democrats.

 

[Robert W]

You are 80+

Do you know history?


Democrats..... In 1800's to 1900's
Conservatives......In 1800's to 1900's......aka the southern confederates.

You know, the racists of the south.

 

[Robert W]

The slave owners were Southern Conservatives. Confederates.

Members of the Confederate Party. You know....this >>>>

Name the history book you got that garbage from?

Feel free to prove that.

China is an ancient civilization with a documented history of over 5,000 years, though some sources point to the existence of human activity and culture stretching back 10,000 years or more. China had forms of slavery for most of its history, with the practice officially abolished in 1910 but continuing illegally until 1949.

The Sumerian civilization, in ancient Mesopotamia (modern-day Iraq), is generally considered the oldest civilization, emerging around 4000 BCE and the Sumerians had slaves, with slavery being a common feature of their society and economy.

The ancient Sumerians were likely not white in the modern sense but were a Middle Eastern population with a darker complexion. While they were known as the "black-headed people" based on their statues and historical depictions of black hair and beards, they are now considered indigenous West Asian people whose descendants include modern groups like the Marsh Arabs and Assyrians, not peoples of European origin.

Why is it our job to teach Democrats history?

They were as white as your jesus

 

[fncceo]

They were as white as your jesus

My Jeebus? You REALLY don't pay attention, do you?

 

[Crepitus]

My Jeebus? You REALLY don't pay attention, do you?

Meh, I can't tell people apart on the internet. Are you anti religious like me?


If so I apologize.

Every ancient civilization was engaged in slavery or was enslaved. Jewish slaves might have built the pyramids but it's not a popular subject among archeologists today. The flag that flew from the stern of slave ships was the British Union jack and the French flag and the Portugues flag in the New World. New England factories profited from Southern slave grown cotton and New England whaling ships refitted when whales were scarce to the more lucrative slave trade. New Jersey was the last slave state in the North to outlaw slavery about 15 years before the Civil War. The point is that there's lots of guilt throughout the world without taking the easy political view and blaming the four years of the Confederacy for the problem.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Who is blaming the Confederacy for worldwide slavery then and now?

 

[fncceo]

Are you anti religious like me?

I'm not against ANYONE's spiritual beliefs ... I have beliefs of my own which are obviously not xtian,

We get jerked off by Democrats over the distant issue of slavery in the then few states then existing.

So, after reading this, you will find the link proving the statements are true.


What is the reality of slavery? Well…

White people did not invent slavery, but it was abolished by them. As Democrats demonize “white Christian males,” they were the leading force not only in this country, but on the planet, in ending slavery.

Slavery started in Africa, North Africa, and the Middle East, where civilization started, and there weren’t any white people around at the time. In sub-Saharan Africa, where slaves who were shipped to the Americas (not just the US) originated, black tribes ran the trade on the continent. They’d practiced slavery against other African tribes for centuries; all ****** did was add transit to it.

In the United States, Democrats were the slave owners. While very few Americans actually owned slaves, about 2 percent (at the most), all of them were Democrats. When the Civil War ended slavery, it was Democrats who obstructed and ended reconstruction that sought to remove obstacles for black Americans to be fully integrated into American society.

It was Democrats who founded the Ku Klux Klan, created Jim Crow laws, lynched, and enforced segregation. They blocked every attempt at civil rights legislation for a century, including Lyndon Johnson as Senate Majority Leader, watering down the Civil Rights Act of 1957 to the point that it was essentially worthless to deny President Dwight Eisenhower and Republicans the victory.

Whalers were never converted to slave ships. Slave ships had to be fast and capable of carrying large numbers of very perishable cargo and carrying a large crew so that at least some sailors survived at the end of the voyage. Whalers were big, slow, boxy ships intended for years long voyages carrying the maximum amount of a non-perishable cargo with medium sized crews that mostly manned the whale boats. Privateers and small warships were often converted to slavers and vice versa in time of war.

Well, gosh! I guess that makes it all okay then!

?? I don’t believe anyone has ever said any such thing.

In the United States, Democrats were the slave owners. While very few Americans actually owned slaves, about 2 percent (at the most), all of them were Democrats.

40 percent of the population of the Confederacy was enslaved. The southern economy was built around free labor.

This southern “peculiar institution” was embedded in southern culture and preceded the formation of the Democratic Party by 200 years.

One thing in common is that it was Conservatives who supported slavery while liberals fought it
