@96Z24 You are wrong (and obnoxious). For a glaring example, look into the history of the building of America's capitol and several of the monuments to our forefathers in D.C.
blacks fought in everysingle war since the begining of slavery....including gettysburg...dont know what this man is talking about....and the truth is that many of the founding fathers owned slaves etc etc etc.....im not black or white or watevr... try and not be a racist asshole and the world can be a better place
@JohnKallen89 If it wasn't for Americans, africans would still be swinging from trees and living in huts. It's no coincidence that the closest thing that africa has to a developed country, South Africa, was settled by the Dutch and the British back when the East India trading company was in it's hay day.
Indentured servitude was very similar to chattel-slavery, but it existed only during the Colonial period and ended after the American Revolution. Funny that you mention it because this obviously caused a huge deficit in slave labour in America which was essentially compensated, and greatly expanded, with African slave labour.
@JimmyeDallas Be that as it may, perhaps it's not a coincidence that the American North is more prosperous today than the South - by a mile. I just get peeved when I hear the slavery argument, while people conveniently avoid the atrocious conditions European-Americans faced ultimately in the construction of America. Indentured servitude was very, very similar to slavery as well. Blacks and liberals always conveniently leave that fact about America out.
Cotton was an enormously valuable commodity during the Industrial Revolution, and so was the chattel-slavery market that subsidized it. When compared to the Northern states the relatively undeveloped South was enormously dependent on slavery. The fact that they were willing to secede and inevitably provoke war to protect such an immoral institution reinforces it's perceived economic necessity at that time.

what' so controversial about the truth? Just because something is unequal doesn't make it untrue. (unless it's an equation)

What did Buchanan say that was not true? Has the truth become untenable?

Why do I see no mention of the Panama Canal?
