AMERICA ONLY AVERAGED 45 YEARS OF SLAVERY (FACT)

Some stupid congressman wanted slave reparations.
He listed slavery has being from 1600 to 1870 something.

REALITY CHECK:
In 1775, We sent the King of England a letter, declaring our independence.
That was the first act of treason
.
The second act of treason was several Northern states didn't like slavery,they despised it.
Many of the Northern states IMMEDIATELY passed Emancipation laws.
They said no more buying, selling, or trading of slaves.
If your slave has a child, then that child is a free person.
If a slave owner dies, his slave is set free.(Yes, It's a shame all states didn't do it).

In 1776 we were at war with Great Britain, and that war lasted to 1786.
George Washington became our first President of the United states in the 1788 Election and took office just like every other president in 1789.

1788 was the year the British flag was taken down from America, and the American flag raised.
This was the year we became a country.

In 1861 We went to war with the south to end that Slavery.
That's 72 years after we became a nation.
During that time half the Nation had slaves.
Hence, America averaged 36 years of slavery.
But those who want to argue.
I just proved America only had 72 years of it.
Then America traveled the world, to end slavery world wide.
That's why we have several Caribbean Islands has territories.
The Spanish American war of 1900.
We paid $25 Million dollars for those islands and then Free'd all the slaves at the signing of the Paris treaty.

America has always been a champion of freedom.
If a Black man really wants to know how smart he is? Just go visit Africa.
Thats where every Black person would be if they didn't get the gift of America.
Many of them would still be enslaved over there.
