Smithsonian: 'Call the woman who fought against slavery a r*cist or you're fired.'
This is what Trump meant - they're not teaching history, they're manufacturing propaganda.

They did the same thing with Jefferson. Pointed out “he claimed to be against slavery” then rubbed his face in every slave he owned, as if he wasn’t forced to compete against slave labor when selling his crops.
They also don’t seem to care about buying products made with Chinese slave labor now. Well gosh how do you fix that? I know, tariffs! “REEEE those are evil and don’t work!”
Or about the open sex slave trade in the Middle East, that’s happening now. “Did Trump buy any of them? Otherwise you’re probably making it up.”
Funny how they’re always fighting to protect slave labor, then accusing us of being the problem.
“Get thee behind me, Satan.”
Re: Jefferson --
From what I have read, Jefferson inherited his slaves from his father-in-law (women in Virginia could not own property).
He was opposed to slavery, in principle, but it was illegal under Virginia law to set them free. However, it was not illegal to put in one's will that they could be set free upon the death of the slave owner.
That's what he planned to do. However, George Washington did that when he died, and right after that, Virginia passed a law making that illegal, as well. So, Jefferson could not even do that when he died.
So, Jefferson could either set them free, thus making himself a criminal, or keep them and do the best he could. He reasoned that even if he set them free, in the world that existed at the time, they would likely end up captured back into slavery again. Plus, many slaves WANTED to be slaves because they could not conceive of the idea of how they would live if they had freedom.
Couple of interesting quotes that have stuck in my mind:
Both quotes apply today, as well.
Re: Leftists not caring about real slavery today --
Right, because leftists do not care about ideas, concepts or principles. They only care about being seen by others as virtuous, even if it is a fake virtue.
I remember something a friend said to me many years ago:
How the crap do we overcome that mindset? Excellent comment! u/#updoot
Emancipate yourself from mental slavery none but ourselves can free our minds - Marcus Garvey / Bob Marley
Yes. People who do the sins are always accusing others of the same.
