The real truth is different. Historians normally date the start of slavery in the North American colonies to 1619. That year the crew of the Dutch ship was starving, and as John Rolfe noted in a letter to the Virginia Company’s treasurer Edwin Sandys, the Dutch traded 20 African slaves for food and supplies. Slaves of African descent and white indentured servants often worked, socialized and even ran away from their masters together. But by the end of the 17th century, the colony became more reliant on slave labor as the number of British and Europeans willing to indenture themselves declined and as the leaders of the colony feared uprisings among the poor, landless whites.

The first slave owner in America was Johnson, a Black man. Slavery was a world wide institution which we inherited from the immigrants.....but, I am being a little bit of a “revisionist” for the American Indians had slaves before we ever got there. America was already a slave nation before white man ever set foot on the place. Or, wait a minute, wasn’t the first people in America Caucasians—Kennewick man????

This whole demonization of groups of people is Marxist. To divide so they can destroy us. We are all Americans-—we need to unite-—not divide-—we all have done evil things in the past, but when “ideas” are the basis of Truth (God)—like in America—the Truth should win out-—but Leftists/Atheists/pagans are far more inhumane than any other groups, and are taking over the USSA and forcing this Marxist stuff into the schools to destroy cohesion and Love (Christianity).

Marxism is all Lies! Everything Marxists write is warped and twisted lies to make people hate each other. The are like cockroaches to Light-—when they are forced with the Truth.

It is why Marxists created Political Correctness——to shut down debate because debate is how you get to Truth.
