    This is the shit you get when your knowledge of history is based solely on broadcasts from your preferred 24-hour news network and/or Youtube.

    Apparently reading history books is hard.

    (Also, for everyone here, read up on Benjamin Lay. The founding fathers knew what piece of shit slavers they were because there was at least one prominent person willing to tell them in the Mid-1700’s.)

        Another triumphant example of leaving policy-making to the states. :)

            • I dont care about the game but I will participate in it while everyone follows the rules, but people like the Confederates and Trump stopped following the rules. Lets hope Trump is at least thrown in a hole and left to rot as an example of those who willfully disregard the rules. And if fools wish to bring back the Confederacy then my previous statement stands.

      Lincoln wanted to send the blacks back to Africa. Many in fact didn’t see them as humans tbh.

      The guy gets his history from Tiktok.

      HistoryTok is way more fun than real history, it changes when the most popular video says something. Doesn’t have to be fact based or remotely correct, but has more likes.
