Many northerners like myself were taught in school that the
War Between The States was fought only to end slavery.
While slavery would end in America as a result of the war,
(the Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves only in
the South, and the last state in the Union to ban
slavery outright was New York)
the bloodiest domestic conflict ever fought on this soil was the

the bloodiest domestic conflict ever fought on this soil was the
end result of instigated internal strife-just like what we are
witnessing right now-plus the government being wrested out
of the hands of the people. We the people are the government!

Our founders never envisioned the enormous overreach and abuse
of political power that we are seeing today. The people taking down the
Confederate statues and now demanding the renaming of military bases
named after Confederate heroes are not only woefully ignorant of
their national history, but, are playing right into the hands of the
communist/socialist entities behind the scenes who are
orchestrating the social unrest and chaos bent on destroying
our cities, and everything which they have deemed as connected
to the "evil" of capitalist America.
Furthermore, the idea that only white people owned slaves in this
country is an untruth that has been repeated so often over the years
that many people have come to accept it as fact.
Slavery, like abortion today, was/is a heinous practice, yet,
both were/are legal under the law in this country. When slavery was
allowed here, anyone who had the money and means to own slaves could do so.
One of the largest slave-holders in the antebellum South were the Metoyers
of Louisiana, a wealthy black Creole family who owned more slaves on their
plantation than their white neighbors. Another story involving white
enslavement was that of the German immigrant girl from New Orleans
named Sally Miller.
I had a fifth generation great-grandmother on my mother's side of the family
who was sailing across from Europe to America with her parents who were
quite wealthy. The captain of the ship murdered her parents and was going
to sell this young woman into slavery if no one paid her ransom.
Fortunately, her future father-in-law who was also aboard the ship
came to her rescue and paid her ransom. Afterwards, he took her to
live with his family and when she became of marrying age
she wed one of his sons.
I am sure there are many more stories that can attest to the fact that
regardless of race or skin color, the enslavement of human beings is a
horrible sin in the eyes of God. Unfortunately, human trafficking is
still being widely practiced in many areas of the world today,
including here in the United States.
However, Americans are only reminded by The Establishment of
the historical enslavement of black people, an issue which has been used
and is being used as an excuse by revisionist progressive historians and
educators, politicians, and the news media to divide the people along
racial and social lines, and to invoke fear and hatred and suspicion,
while using their clueless lackeys to desecrate statues and to loot
and burn in the streets in order to "transform" America into their
skewered vision of a lawless, free-for-all socialist utopia.
The statue of President George Washington was recently desecrated and
pull off its pedestal by protesters in Portland Oregon.
