Lee freed his slaves, before Grant ever did, is that true?
No. Grant freed his one slave in 1859. Grant freed his last ones in December 1862.
Lee’s remaining slaves at Arlington were freed when the war ended. amazing that Grant even had slaves.
The USA was founded and the Constitution ratified only because the southern STATES were assured that they could continue to own slaves.
Abolitionists forced the war and let loose a scourge that plagues the nation to this day.
Interestingly enough, the black population has held steady at 13% since the late 1700’s.
With all of the abortion going, on the black population should be dwindling one or two points every generation, but the communists have figured out a way to subsidize out of control reproduction by the lowest IQ element, stealing money from taxpayers and giving it away in exchange for votes since the 1960’s nearly 60 years now.
That percentage would be down to less than 10% and still falling if not for the American Communists.
Grant couldn’t afford food. I do not recall him owning slaves.
