SLAVERY: The real history

This country was started not because everyone in it was perfect but because a few great men decided that living under another country’s rules and taxation without representation was no way to live.

These men gave their lives and wealth to create a country where all men were created equal not in all things equal. The Constitution gave us the ability for all people, religions and ideas to improve our lives or destroy our ability to live as free men.

We now live in a country believing that the slavery of blacks is the only slavery this country has ever known. The first slaves in this country were the indigenous people before the Europeans ever set foot on this country. The Europeans then sent their prisoners and indentured servants on ships manned by forced labor sailors, all slaves.

We then brought in the Chinese to build our railroads and mine our coal mines, then discarded them like we did the wild horses. I know that this is not the only slavery that has gone on in this country but those that survived, their ancestry has been able to live a better life because of our Constitution and their hard work.

This last year has showed us that people, with no knowledge of our real past and the real people who bled and died for our freedom, are now tearing down our towns and statues of great men and replacing with statues of drug addicts, with our elections unable to be believed, and making us take shots and use masks without the science to back their mandates up.

Hope this makes you think about your freedom.
