In 1619 at Jamestown VA, approximately 20 captive Africans are sold into slavery in the British North American colonies. In 1863, Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing all slaves. That’s 244 years of free labor. How dare you ask how this country became so rich?

*Lincoln only freed the slaves in the rebellion states. Since he didn’t like black people… he actually hated us like almost every other white person.

The Emancipation Proclamation was purely for strategical reasons.

Hey now y’all…that’s just too much common sense and actual reasoning being done here. We can’t be doing that now can we. /snark
