Slavery has never faded away. It's only taken on a new name and a new mask. Kind of like changing work hours from 40 hours a week to 32 or 36 and not being eligable for pensions and insurances and overtime which you had with the original 40 hr work week? But it's in your best interest right...

They have been taught that they were considered only 3/5ths a person. But in truth that was not the intention of what was written. It had to do with the census and population. That only 3/5ths of the slaves in a state would be counted for representation, because according to those laws in those...

Pray for the Children. Seriously.. Pray for the children. In politics, there is no "right" side. They all bow down to their corporate donors. This has to stop. Now if a kid wants to sell lemonade or blueberries on the side of the road, they should be allowed to, tax free. If they want to...

I agree with you. And those who are born into a free society should not be seeking reparations from the sins of the past. You understand the democrats are pushing reparations but not for the benefit of the african americans. That money may trickle down a little, but the majority of it will end...

The legal institution of human chattel slavery, comprising the enslavement primarily of Africans and African Americans, was prevalent in the United States of America from its founding in 1776 until 1865, predominantly in the South. Slavery was established throughout European colonization in the...

argue with wikipedia not me. I'm just sharing what is written. And it is written that the Southern Confederates didn't want to give up their "free labor" . But wanted them counted as freeborn to boost their numbers on the census. All I know is that I am a Republican born in the State of...

We face the same question today. Should illegal immigrants have the right to vote? Should they be counted in the census? Should a state be taxed according to it's population? And if that population is made up of undocumented immigrants then what taxes are levied? Are they citizens which are...

Madison explained the reasoning for the 3/5 in Federalist No. 54 "The Apportionment of Members Among the States" (February 12, 1788)[7] as: because it is only under the pretext that the laws have transformed the negroes into subjects of property, that a place is disputed them in the...

That's why the democrats are always going after the black vote. They still consider them as slaves and property. And once they get their vote, they leave them in crime ridden slum cities and make promises they never intend to keep. Be a Yankee! Hugs

I suppose it depends on how one interprets the argument regarding 3/5ths. I don't think it means what we are told it's supposed to mean. It's not the "measure" of a man, but a portion of the population which is counted as either a person or property. In the North.. Yankees... We regarded free...

Nothing to see here... They Must save their Democracy. Hugs

Define Democracy: In a republic, an official set of fundamental laws, like the U.S. Constitution and Bill of Rights, prohibits the government from limiting or taking away certain inalienable rights of the people—even if that government was freely chosen by a majority of the people. In a pure...
