        what was your real agenda and purpose to reference an 1847 text? NYT is despicable.

        agree, just not clear the motive the author had for writing it.

        More division tactics from the leftist fake news organization known as the New York Times? The point of running an 1800's article?

        This is a valuable reminder of the craziness and profiteering evil that existed just 160 ago and in some form still exists.#notracebaiting

        It's race baiting because that was 160 years ago. We've come a long way since then.

        To a point. When slavery and past racism is constant being brought up it triggers a reaction. We need to let it go and move on

        Two options: 1. Racism is over, which means we talk about it as history like Rome vs. Carthage. 2. Racism not over...

        You failed to identify those slaveowners as Democrats. Democrats refused to accept the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860.
