"Liberty and individual freedom is what this country is based on. The liberty and individual freedom to be a slave-owning, land stealing, immigrant exploiting aristocrat. That’s what wrong here, we’re not just darkies, we’re people too. This is no doubt the land of the free…to be a racist."— An American Communist named "Friend"

That’s not me of course, but a quote from a novel I enjoy.

Yes, many of our Founders disapproved of slavery, but they knew the only way to get all of the colonies to join them, was to keep it legal.

People back then were a lot more aware of the corruption of the governement than they are today due to the fact that they are all blindsided by fake kindness and empty promises.

Hey Obama, thanks for lying to America about literally everything. …Guess You Can’t!!
