It should also be kept in mind when creating a democracy that it was only a democracy for land-owning white men. They knowingly suppressed the voices of everyone else. I would argue doing that is immoral.
Among the founding fathers, antislavery delegates punted on the issue for fear that no Constitution would ever be created at all. They didn’t even bring it up. They could have stood their ground but chose to allow enslavement to continue.
A) this seems pretty hypocritical considering Mitch’s argument has been that the house should stay out of discussions of how the senate runs its business. The constitution doesn’t give the senate the option of ignoring articles. (granted, mitch couldn’t give two fucks about appearing hypocritical)
I think ‘I’m rubber you’re glue whatever you say bounces off me and sticks to you’ politics is appropriate in this day and age, but forgetting to add ‘No backsies’ is…similar to the recent vote limiting Trump’s war powers while stating it’s merely a suggestion. I guess I don’t have a point.
" The last president to personally own enslaved people was Ulysses S. Grant, who served two terms between 1869 and 1877. The former commanding general of the Union Army had kept a lone black slave named William Jones in the years before the Civil War, but gave him his freedom in 1859."
Your inability to acknowledge being wrong is pretty pathetic.
