Trump has literally zero empathy and no morals, and probably thinks it was good for the economy and the slave owners, so it wasn't that bad.
One would have hoped Americans are learning a lesson now, but apparently most of the Trump supporters are not. On the contrary they are absolutely fine with it. Sometimes even when their own families are hit by Trump policies, they still say they support him?!
Half Americans are in a brainwashed cult, and the other half is in danger of slowly going crazy too, due to the insanity that USA is now.
It's not half. It's less than a third of Americans that support him.
Nearly 37% of Americans didn't vote in the last election, which is arguably worse...
We've been screaming "freedom isn't free" at one another for over a century, and yet that many of us don't care enough to vote.
Ironically, slavery hurt the south economically
It made them a single-industry agricultural economy, which only works so long as people want what you're growing. When cotton was new, and fresh, and cool, it worked great for them! When the world started transitioning to a industrial manufacturing/global trade economy, it became a lot less valuable and lot less productive, as machines could do more, cheaper.
Not to mention that the old plantation owners made absolute bank from share cropping after the slaves were liberated. Their economy was actually hampered by slavery, but it was worth it to them since they could futher entrench their racial hierarchy.
Slavery is a terrible idea, who knew
Turns out an educated, happy, and productive populace is far more beneficial
So, i don't think i would use any of those words to describe the population pf freed alaves for the next 100 years, as they were not made equala in society one bit
And he fucked children.
Make one where Trump and pedobear stare at children
Release the Epstein files and put them in the Smithsonian!
They laid peoples 'cross barrels and whupped 'em wid bull whups till the blood come. They'd half feed 'em and removeds'd steal food and cook all night. The things we was forced to do then the whites is doing of their own free will now. You gotta reap jest what you sow 'cause the Good Book says it.
They used to bid n!ggers off and then load 'em on wagons and take 'em to cotton farms to work. I never seen no cotton till I come heah. Peoples make big miration 'bout girls having babies at 11 years old. And you better have them whitefolks some babies iffen you didn't wanta be sold. Though a funny thing to me is, iffen a n!gger woman had a baby on the boat on the way to the cotton farms, they throwed it in the river. Taking 'em to them cotton farms is jest the reason removeds is so plentiful in the South today.
I ain't got no education a'tall. In dem days you better not be caught with a newspaper, else you got a beating and your back almost cut off. When n!ggers got free, whitefolks killed 'em by the carload, 'cause they said it was a removed uprising. I used to lay on the flo' with the whitefolks and hear 'em pass. Them patrollers roved trying to ketch n!ggers without passes to whup 'em. They was sometimes called bush whackers.

I wonder if he knows about Arlington
Atop being so negative about slavery, because we want to bring it back.
Nobody ever talks about the upsides!
I look forward to the Smithsonian exhibit explaining how bad the trump regime was.
I’m sure about the time he gets Hugo Boss to design the new ICE SS uniforms he’ll be telling everyone how the little guy with the tiny mustache was just misunderstood and his stormtroopers were great for the German economy.
hugo boss? na they’ll just be gold polo shirts and golf shoes … and don’t forget a mandatory MAGA cap - no discount
I hope he gets reincarnated as a slave girl on Thomas Jefferson's plantation.
The sooner the better.
Admittedly, I don't fully understand how reincarnation is supposed to work... But does it involve time travel?
I think Octavia Butler wrote a really shitty story about this?
The translation of "woke" is anything I dont like or understand
