        When it’s a holiday that celebrates literally owning them then yeah, I’d say it has something to do with them.

        I don’t recall Jefferson trying to overthrow the US Government. I seem to recall him moving towards a *more* egalitarian society, the “all men are endowed” author. He built the foundations on which we build today. He’s no Jefferson Davis traitor.

        Good point, but you may not know how right you are. Did you know about Jeff Davis boasting of killing to spread slavery? Not kinda, not sorta. And spread it against -- against -- states rights. http://civilwarkillers.blogspot.com/ pic.twitter.com/gzAsvsGTXz

        👍I’ll read it after I note redlining US and CSA Constitutions—yes, they’re THAT similar—pops out 10(?) “no state may…” end or weaken Black slavery. ONE extra right—no nat’l laws for “common good.” CSA states had FEWER rights…CHOSE a straitjacket of corrupt, evil slaveholding

        If you only know the Secession docs and CSA constitution, it's pretty much impossible for you to grasp that in other settings, they bragged about torture and killing to spread slavery for GOD. Not kinda, Not sorta. It's basic to get it all. Otherwise, you cant get it.

        Thanks but I only did the little exercise AFTER seeing lots of material. My main takeaway—slaveholding was THE primary form of wealth in the South, held by a tiny elite. Most whites kept in line by autocratic/caste system where they got to be Gamma, hope to be Beta, avoid Delta
