sUp, your unbridled arrogance is astounding as well as pathetic. And so it goes.
Here is a very detailed documentation of s***ery in American history, something which you need to read in its entirety to recognize our Founding Fathers were abolitionists who inherited 150 years of s***ery and craftily constructed mechanisms to free their own s***es, feed them, house them, clothe them while demanding no servitude whatsoever in the process of abolishing s***ery everywhere without entering into a Civil War.
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson & S***ery in Virginia (accompanied with personal letters, journals & laws in the footnotes)

"It is ironic that two prominent Founding Fathers who owned s***es (Thomas Jefferson and George Washington) were both early, albeit unsuccessful, pioneers in the movement to end s***ery in their State and in the nation. Both Washington and Jefferson were raised in Virginia, a geographic part of the country in which s***ery had been an entrenched cultural institution. In fact, at the time of the Founders, the morality of s***ery had rarely been questioned; and in the 150 years following the introduction of s***ery into Virginia by Dutch traders in 1619, there had been few voices raised in objection. That began to change in 1765, for as a consequence of America’s examination of her own relationship with Great Britain, there arose for the first time a serious contemplation of the propriety of African s***ery in America. As Founding Father John Jay explained, this was the period in which America’s attitude towards s***ery began to change:
"Prior to the great Revolution, the great majority . . . of our people had been so long accustomed to the practice and convenience of having s***es that very few among them even doubted the propriety and rectitude of it. 1
"As the Colonists increasingly recognized that they themselves were s***es of the British Empire, and were experiencing the discomforting effects of such power exercised over them, their commiseration with those ens***ed in America began to grow. As one early legal authority explained:
"The American Revolution. . . . was undertaken for a principle, was fought upon principle, and the success of their arms was deemed by the Colonists as the triumph of the principle. That principle was. . . . an ardent love of personal liberty, and hence, the very declaration of their political liberty announced as a self-evident t***h that all men were created free and equal. 2
"Notwithstanding this emerging change in attitude, the response across America on how to end s***ery differed widely according to geographical regions. As Thomas Jefferson explained:
‘ 'Where the disease [s***ery] is most deeply seated, there it will be slowest in eradication. In the northern States, it was merely superficial and easily corrected. In the southern, it is incorporated with the whole system and requires time, patience, and perseverance in the curative process.’ 3..."
Everyone, on OPP needs to read this article in its entirety, detailing General Washington sleeping with his s***es under the same blanket during the Revolution at Valley Forge, his refusal to sell his s***es for profit (inherited by his wife) to pay off his debts, as he demanded no labor from them, and the creation of our Constitution's National Bankruptcy Court to end selling s***es and indentured servants to settle estate debts. There are countless articles and letters referenced below that the Founding Fathers contributed to the Abolitionist movement.
The fact that our Constitution is based upon EXODUS, the first recorded s***e revolt, should be quite telling of our Founding Father's intent to free EVERYBODY from the yokes of s***ery and indentured servitude. Most of my own relatives were indentured servants.
My grandfather had an 8th grade education, quite an accomplishment in his time, raised in a small graphite mining community. Later, he took took an apprenticeship in a steam engine hardware store, worked his way up to become the company's Vice President, a reputable citizen of Schenectady New York. He was self educated, loved to read his subscription to National Geographic, his Christmas present. It was safe to sit upon his lap as a child!
These are the common men and women, people who built this country for free men and free markets. Not the lowlife, stoned, perverted college students today demanding the government pay off their $100,000 student loans while they chant "K**l Jews, Free Palestine, Hurray HAMAS, and Burn baby burn" the self appointed i***ts you champion who are so much smarter than us commoners?
Oh, Gawd, gimme a break!
If we want equal opportunity, we have to have a stable currency to start with, and next, a flat tax.
What, sUp, you cant do the math either but have a PhD in bovine Meadow Muffins?
Gimme a pair of hip-boots to wade through your intellectual swamp of i***ts!
