@checkoutanytime our nation was founded on hypocrisy. They sought Independence from England yet they used their independence to enslave a race of people and commit genocide against another. They sought freedom and Independence from England yet they took away the freedom and Independence of Africans and the native indigenous people of this country.

@James25 in the North where the country was birthed, and this story is about, being indentured, was not the equivalent of the slave plantations of the South. People would of died if they were not indentured to pay for their room & bored. The entire thing is blown way out proportion and been manipulated to make an argument that doesn't exist.

@checkoutanytime yours is the typical talking point of denial disinformation and minimization. The very thing that we are talking about. Rewriting history to hide the truth of your past.

@James25 the truth is the North didn't enslave people, they often gave them independence after a debt was paid. It was different times, and not all enslaved people were black. This story is spun and not accurate in any way.

@checkoutanytime here's a little history lesson for you. Slavery existed and was protected by law in all 13 American colonies when they declared independence from England in 1776. Many of the major founding fathers owned numerous slaves. Including George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. Benjamin Franklin own two slaves. Thomas Jefferson kept between 165 and 225 slaves on his Virginia plantations between 1776 and 1826. 17 of the 55 delegates to the Constitutional Convention owned a total of about 1,400 slaves. Of the first 12 presidents 8 were slave owners.

Abraham Lincoln stated that he was not fighting the South to free the slaves but to stop the south from seceding from the Union. Abraham Lincoln stated it was his sacred Duty to preserve the Union.

@James25 im from here, i know all about it. You know the mason dixon line, and the underground railroad, like i said the North would give slaves independence after a debt was paid, the times were different, to twist it like the broadcaster was is changing history.

@checkoutanytime I do not know to what degree slaves were given the ability to purchase the freedom or how many slaves were actually able to do that. But that is not the point. I do think that Republicans are trying to hide the truth about American history by preventing teachers from teaching the truth about slavery in our country. And you are certainly entitled to your opinion with regards to that issue. But I would have to disagree.
