Nobody Remembers: Thomas Jefferson’s Words on Slavery
Nobody Remembers
Here’s what Thomas Jefferson, whom the “woke: generation thinks were in support of slavery due to the fact that he owned slaves, put in his FIRST draft of the Declaration of Independence, (June 1776) which was later crossed out by two Southern states, or they wouldn’t sign it.
*****
He (The King) has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating its most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. This piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. Determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & Sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce: and that this assemblage of horror might want no fact of distinguished die, he is now exci4ting those very people to rise in arms among us, and to purchase that liberty of which he has deprived them, by murdering the people upon whom he also obtruded them: thus paying off former crimes committed against the liberties of one people, with crimes which he urges them to commit against the lives of another.
**********
Later it was against the law in Virginia to free slaves, or to free slaves if you were bankrupt. Jefferson was that at the time of his death.
And yet, the REAL words of the founders have been hidden deep within the minds of American historians for most of our lives.
Once I was in a Social Security office inside an all-black neighborhood. While waiting for my spot in line, I was reading a newspaper that was only meant for black people. It was about as full of hate propaganda for America and police as you can imagine.
But, just imagine if Jefferson’s words were printed in that newspapers.
Have YOU ever seen those words before? I doubt it. They have kept the words of our founders out of all our history books, at least the ones they don’t want you to see.
About
I am a nobody. If the different classes of America were color-coded, I would be in the yucky brown, one rung up from the bottom. I grew up in Naples, Florida and live near the Mississippi River now with my husband and two dogs. I am part of the slowly disappearing middle-class. I was a musician most of my life: drummer/singer/keyboards—but I retired before the plastic surgery flu hit. I have no degrees, which could be a good thing…depending on how you view our educational system. I do have three patents…but that really doesn’t make me a somebody. The one thing that is constant in my life is my OPINIONS, which i have more than perhaps even Carl Sagan could have imagined…mostly political. (yes…my ancestors were crabby buggers)
Hopefully other nobody’s will put their opinions on my site. But, if you happen to be a somebody, you’re more than welcomed to help out.
It’s my Nobody Opinion that Nobody’s Perfect, and Nobody Cares, that Nobody Knows why Nobody Wins, and when that happens, Nobody Wonders, why Nobody Flashes, why Nobody’s Fooled, but then Nobody remembers that Nobody ALWAYS Reports the truth.
