>> Which is why you kept slaves!

I can't speak to slavery, I wasn't around and certainly would never have been a slaveowner even had I been. It was so obviously wrong.

However, I know that the liberals' hero, Thomas Jefferson, was one of the worst slavemasters there was. While decrying slavery as evil, he sold his slaves rather than freeing them.

Lee freed his slaves BEFORE the civil war, Grant not until AFTER

They still do. They're called Walmart employees.
