I live in Sunderland , its a city on the north east coast of England . our public library has a cornerstone when it was built in 1895 and one of the names on the stone is Grant , union general ! no one seems to know why ? very strange.

The confederacy is america at its worst, idiocy. Jefferson, Grant, Washington and Jackson need to be removed from our money as slave owners, If Jefferson had a child with one then he was a rapist too, Hamilton and Franklin owned to release Lincoln had none, anyway a fool spins history means little to those kidnapped and bound to a owner, a owner like George Washington,, maybe older he regretted, but that still dont erase his crime

@guitargold77 Washington, Jefferson, Madison, Monroe, Jackson, Van Buren, Harrison, Tyler, Polk, Taylor, Johnson, and Grant all owned slaves at some point in their lives (12 of the first 18 US presidents).

@guitargold77 so if jefferson had sex with a slave and then had a child with that woman, this automatically constitutes this sexual encounter as rape? what sort of logic is that?

[guitargold77]

@8bitsurrender A slave by definiton is alot like a child, they arent in a position to make a yes or no to sex. If the woman was freed, fine she says yes. If the man who OWNS you ask for sex, what does she say? No thank you Ill take my 30 lashes

The confederacy is slandered with the history of slavery....yet the United States allows slaughtering of babies through genocide.
