It's not ****ing hard to understand. There aren't any nuances here as much as white nationalist sympathizers would like there to be.
Some of them were well fed, though.

Why are personal insults still allowed in this forum.

I guess it's cool to continuously say my real name for whatever reason, or to use insults because your arguments are weak.

I thought we were giving bans for hurling personal insults at people, not exactly sure how that helps the content.

Little is known about William Jones; as even Grant’s biographers note, “exactly when and how Grant acquired ownership of a slave remain something of a mystery.” There is no other evidence showing that Grant ever owned more than this one slave, much less “several.”
So all we know is that Grant bought this guy and then emancipated him. Perfectly possible that he bought him expressly to do that.

Eddy,

If you rape someone you're a rapist.

If you align yourself with the Nazis and the KKK you're a scumbag.

Its just a fact, not a personal attack. I know you personally don't really care about facts, but it might help you understand what others are thinking when they say things like that.

Hope that helps,

Lee inherited and ran a plantation full of slaves for five years where he was a notably sadistic and cruel master. The slaves were freed only as a result of the inheritance stipulation, which Lee tried to circumvent.

Your statement was bull****. A complete ikestoys' level of intellectual dishonesty (whether intentional or just ignorance, idk). You should read the New Yorker article--his army's policy was to capture and enslave any blacks they found when invading the North, but, hey, it's not like he went to auctions or anything, amirite?

I feel dirty even replying to this steaming pile. "Only one of them was a slaves-buyer!" You should feel bad.

not sure if they are allowed or not. but you deserve this one for not only your blatant dishonesty but also the fact that you are aligning yourself with white supremacists.

and I would have a lot more respect for you if you would just admit it.
