I always want to ask bleeding heart liberals how they think that the slaves got to the ivory coast to be sold. Their own people enslaved them first, then sold them to the Europeans and Americans!! Again, people need to read a history book. Good Grief!!

I read that only 9 percent of all of the south owned slaves. Clearly, the Southerners were fighting about something else other than slavery. Seems to me it was more about States Rights. It morphed into a slavery issue. Slavery was already starting to die out. We were the only country that fought a war over slavery. Every other country ended slavery peacefully. Unfortunately, the Rothschilds had certain plans for this country, and funded both sides of the war. Divide and conquer, or bind and unite. Either way they would get what they wanted. Lincoln seemed to be their puppet in this. He shut down any newspapers that talked of peace, threatened his own cabinet members, I don't think he's the guy history makes him out to be. Unfortunately, those who win get to write the history. Things are not what they seem, that's for sure. I'm so sick of all the lies.

In the 1860 Census (a year before the Civil War started) in the city of New Orleans there were over 3,000 freed blacks who themselves owned slaves. I would guess that the numbers of freed blacks in other Southern major cities (Mobile, Memphis, Atlanta, Charleston, Savannah, etc.) also had sizeable populations of black slaves owned by freedman.

There were also several all black freedmen who formed their own units that fought for the Confederacy. I have read about at last one cavalry troop and one artillery battery. Perhaps there were more which your readers can more fully describe.

While reading the information, I was eating peanuts and realized I had invented peanut butter. I am applying for a patent.
