Damn what a 
nostalgia moment
Isn't this literally part of the PragerU Florida curriculum? That slaves learned 'trades' and how it was beneficial to them? Absolute evil shit
PragerU: "Capitalism is all about freedom and individual agency, but also slavery was good and benefited black people"
Straight up mainstream neo-nazism
It's history backwards: slaves were trafficked not just as "unskilled" labor, but because they knew how to do stuff.
Don't worry, these ideas come free 
Governor Ron Desantis is that you?
The only thing John Brown did wrong was failing to kill all slave owners.
his soul is marching on
Old John Brown's body lies a moldering in the grave,
While weep the sons of bondage whom he ventured all to save;
But though he sleeps his life was lost while struggling for the slave,
His soul is marching on.
Glory, Glory, Hallelujah!
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He's loosed the faithful lightning of His terrible, swift sword
His truth is marching on!

Ok, federation was a good idea
I couldn't agree more!

Look, as a centrist I believe historical figures should be judged by the standards of their time
And since slaves, historically mind you, put their masters to death whenever they got the chance
Hello from lemmy.ml😄
Only thing he did wrong was lose.
Absolute chad.
It's just totally crazy to me that someone like him is still seen as a "controversial" figure.
all I'm saying is that if I encountered George Washington in Fallout the name over his head would be "Slave Owner" and I would feel pretty great watching his head explode in slow-motion
One of the very few sane people in an insane society
slave owners should be killed!
More and more people are saying this
You don't have to tell me again
But but actually you should just 
the slavery away.
all slave owners should be fed into a woodchipper. the same woodchipper, at the same time. it'll probably break it. that's ok.

The single most based American to ever live
Technically his farms failed but eh good guy never meddum
More and more people are saying this!
Big if true
If anyone is interested, both the book and the series Good Lord Bird is well worth a peep.
John Brown did nothing wrong
I couldn't disagree more. John Brown deserves to be hung for being a hopeless fool! He attempted to capture Virginia with seventeen men when he ought to know that it would require at least twenty-five.
