      It's a justified critique of Spielberg's Lincoln that it centered privileged white politicians But I did appreciate how the 13th Amendment was essentially passed by mafia tactics, because that's the only way you pass anything "controversial"https://twitter.com/danialexis/status/1356316427704217604?s=19 …

      I 100 believe the Dem position right now should be "sure, we'll negotiate with the GOP: Either you do it our way or we expel you for aiding and abetting an armed insurrection against this body. Your choice." https://twitter.com/PamKeithFL/status/1356314518142513158 …

      This benighted country didn't finally ban slavery because of stirring speeches awakening everyone's slumbering consciences It passed because the Civil War straight up disenfranchised the rebel states completely Then Thaddeus Stevens bullied the fuck out of feckless moderates

      It passed because a whole bunch of asshole congressmen who didn't have principles about any damn thing but bringing pork home to their district found themselves under the tyrannical rule of an abolitionist Ways and Means Committee chairman threatening to cut off the gravy train

      I need to stress this again: Slavery was only ever banned because the majority of pro-slavery voters went too far, took up arms against the government, and therefore lost the fight to vote It only happened because they were disenfranchised

      If the Radical Republicans had waited around for people to organically change their minds about the issue, in the name of "bipartisanship" and "unity", the 13th Amendment would never have passed Hell we would probably still have slavery today

          True, and the “sensible moderate” position would be something like tax incentives to encourage plantations to phase out the use of slaves in targeted sectors

          Politics is money, power = leverage In a 2020 presidential debate, Mike Bennett said there is a direct historic timeline from Jim Crow to the high incarceration rate of black/brown men.
