It is also widely believed that many of the abolitionist framers believed that slavery would fade out on its own because it was becoming cost prohibitive. Whitney’s cotton gin changed all of that. You don’t see that mentioned in too many textbooks.
True. It’s funny to note that Whitney received little from his invention because so many of the slavers pirated his patent. He got back at them though, he would invent a system in the production of arms and champion the interchangeable-parts system. Guess who got all those mass produced guns?
And children NEVER read Booker T. Washington’s “Up from Slavery”.
Why? He is a Christian with a Christian worldview and loved the whites as much as the blacks.
He understood that Slavery was an evil institution-—and some of the Blacks were more evil slaveholders than some whites——AND he knew that the institution was degrading not only to the slave-—but to the slave master. It is EXACTLY what Tocqueville stated-—that Slavery is vile for the Soul of both the Slave and the Slave Masters.
Booker T. also stated (like the Bible) that there is dignity in Work and that all people have to have a WORK ETHIC-—to have a true self-worth and dignity and accomplish anything in Life.
That the Muslims were the chief slave traders and took millions of Christian Europeans as “slaves” is not even mentioned. That the African Slave trade was an African concept.
Truth will set us Free but Common Core (NCLB/GOALS 2000) destroyed all Classical Knowledge and Wisdom-—and ALL their curricula and testing WARPS reality-—truth-—and sees history through the Marxist/Feminist (Neo-Freudian) Lens so that children are not only sexualized at abnormal ages so they are fixated in puerile stage (addicts/narcissists)-—they will “think” in a Marxist ideological way——that Christianity is vile/obscene and that Western Civilization is the most evil culture in the World.
Why? They want serf/tribal/peasant minds and only Christianity created Individualism (uniqueness/identity and importance of EVERY individual)
No Collectives can operate with Individualism and thinking outside the box of the government. They have to make ALL people interchangeable—boys into girls—so all unique identity is eliminated. Natural Family (mother and father) has to be eliminated so the State can control all desires and attitudes-—(complete programming of the Mind).
Group think (PC) is all that is allowed and those who “think” differently have to be eliminated or drugged (will be assigned into a mental ward or put in the Gulag).

Amen. Here is a point I have understood for years. It is so nice to hear some else express that reality. I always like to ask when was the Constitutional Convention and when was the cotton gin invented? First through indentured service and then by the Potato Famine the North was able to get all the cheap labor they wanted and without caring for the grandparents and grandchildren who provided little benefit.
