"Key, Judge William Leigh of Halifax and Bishop William Meade were administrators of the will of their friend John Randolph of Roanoke, who died without children and left a will directing his executors to free his more than four hundred slaves. Over the next decade, beginning in 1833, the administrators fought to enforce the will and provide the freed slaves land to support themselves."
Francis Scott Key and Thomas Jefferson were pro slavery. That is true. But both had a change of heart. I can’t judge Key or Jefferson because Black Africans were the masters of slavery.
Black African slave owners sold over 90 percent of all slaves to Europeans. And Without Black African slave owners there would have been no slavery in America or the New World. Blacks, Whites, Hispanics, Mexicans, Indians, Arabs, Asians all owned slaves.
What separates them is Blacks and Muslims are the two largest slaveholders in the history of mankind!" The irony is Kaepernick is half black and converted to Islam.
Liberals have no sense of history.
The Deleted Passage of the Declaration of Independence (1776)When Thomas Jefferson included a passage attacking slavery in his draft of the Declaration of Independence it initiated the most intense debate among the delegates gathered at Philadelphia in the spring and early summer of 1776. Jefferson's passage on slavery was the most important section removed from the final document. It was replaced with a more ambiguous passage about King George's incitement of "domestic insurrections among us." Decades later Jefferson blamed the removal of the passage on delegates from South Carolina and Georgia and Northern delegates who represented merchants who were at the time actively involved in the Trans-Atlantic slave trade. Jefferson's original passage on slavery appears below. He has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life and liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the Christian King of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market where Men should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or restrain this execrable commerce. And that this assemblage of horrors might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exciting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people on whom he has obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed again the Liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.
Thomas Jefferson and many of the founding fathers had thoughts of abolishing slavery while writing the US constitution. Slavery hung over the Philadelphia Convention, threatening to divide northern and southern delegates. Even though slavery existed by law in some of the northern states in 1787, most people there favored its end. Southerners were more unsure about whether to end slavery, both because they had significantly greater numbers of slaves to deal with and because an end to [slavery] had important economic implications. The result was compromise. The Founding Fathers were more determined to fashion a new nation than they were to bring an end to slavery. This is why slavery wasn’t abolished in 1787.
SarasotaSlim’s post says it all - “Key’s actions did not always coincide with his beliefs. His religion led him to campaign against the slave trade and consider slavery sinful. As a man incapable of violence, he called slavery a “bed of torture” unheard of in any other circumstance. Key throughout his career represented several slaves seeking their freedom in court (pro bono)...Key was so actively hostile, to the institution of slavery, that he was called ’The N-word lawyer’.... Because he often volunteered to defend the downtrodden sons and daughters of Africa....”
Black people can thank the Swedes, British, Spanish, French, and Americans for abolishing slavery. Africa still practices slavery. Why no sit down protest or knee protest against Africa?
Today black descendants of African slaves have the highest standard of living of any blacks living anywhere in the world - thanks to the white man. All the white hatred that black liberals have deep inside their souls should be directed at Black Africans.
I would ask Mr. McCraw - which is Texas law? Traffic Stop & Courtesy Protocols or the three laws in the Texas code of criminal procedure?
Perjury doesn’t disregard the fact that woman violated three laws.
He violated department protocol (which is a joke) but didn’t break any laws. Department protocol isn’t the law of the state. Bland violated the law.
