Some basic facts about slavery from the time of the Civil War until today.
I have gone back to the time before the Civil War and researched the origins behind slavery since the inception of our nation. It was supposed to be illegal to import slaves after 1808 as decreed by congress, and the only reason supposedly, for wanting more to be allowed in, was the manufacture of the cotton gin that made cotton farming cost effective once more. Slaves were all over the south and the majority were used for farming, as well as other crops besides cotton. Some were used in business and even manufacturing. Some worked in the cities, loaned out by their masters to earm wages for their masters , developed skills that they were able to use for gaining enough money for themselves to purchase their freedom. Tobacco was a big money maker as well. Britain’s ships were responsible for the majority of the slave trade up until 1807 when it was outlawed by parliament. Denmark also passed laws against slavery. Then Sweden and the Dutch ended slavery also. By 1817 the Portugese, France, and other nations had reached the same anti slavery point that most of the world nations had.
It was still considered necessary by the plantation owners throughout the south and other big farming areas where labor was the bigest factor in crop management and profit. It was still being carried out by slave traders under various illegal means. Traders shipped men and women in ships under the most brutal conditions immaginable and many died in crossings. On occasion, when being chased by ships closing in, they would tie together slaves and dump them overboard to get rid of evidence. I cannot imagine that it happened very often, because of costs involved but it did happen. Then their were the sugar plantations that needed manpower desperately, and it was difficult to get slaves at the time. The buying and selling of slaves and splitting up of family groups and children to be sold seperately is to horrible to imagine in todays world. Their were a great many factors that eventually led to the clash of North versus the South. The spread of territory into new states and heading west, led to the south wanting slavery to be allowed into new states like Missouri that was having a civil war of its own inside its borders.
Leading up to the south declaring itself secceded from the union, were a great many acts and battles within the north and south. It was a part of the growth of America away from the idea of slavery and the often overlooked history of indentured servitude prevalent since our countries beginnings. In the north their were serious complaints from workers in almost every state about slaves taking jobs away from white’s in many different industries. Their was admittedly still a great deal of predijuice against blacks. Abolition groups grew very quickly among free white people of the north. John Brown was one of many that fought against slavery along with newspaper editor Willam Lloyd Garrison. He was in the forefront of the abolitionist movement and a vocal critic of the whole system. The point of all this is to show how servitude developed after the end of the war. Once the south was defeated, and bankrupt and starving, with almost every industry and a very large part of it’s rail system destroyed, the south was in danger of being overrun. Northern carpetbaggers, whose aims were to plunder anything and everything, to takeover lands and business, to litterally rape the south were stopped largely by the genius of Lincoln. When asked by Gen Grant about how to treat southerners after the surrender. He told Grant to ” Let them up easy”.
The way Grant followed Lincolns advice was brilliant, to pardon all soldiers to go home and be good citizens, and so block all attempts for vengance and retribution by northerners. Never the less it was the northern influence that gave former slaves the opportunities to advance in almost all areas and even eventually, allowed the vote and political office for a few but it didn’t last very long. History has been written about reconstruction and the development of the democratic party system of suppressing blacks. The KKK was started by officers from the south and a bunch of young pranksters as a club. What it developed into was a hate filled group of whites to strike fear into the hearts of all blacks everywhere in the south. The democratic party fought every step up until the 1960s when it was forced onto them , kicking and screaming to the civil rights bill’s passage under Lyndon Johnson. The democratic party has been the instrument of suppression on black people from just after the civil war, around 1877. I am completely dumbfounded as to why blacks today vote almost exclusively democratic. They have been kept down and suppressed under democratic rule and still they vote for them. The democratic party has always claimed they were for the black people yet they have historically blocked any and all attempts; usually from republican backed measures, to help them. Democrats fought tooth and nail to keep the civil rights measure from being enacted. Remember George Wallace?
Then Senator John F Kennedy voted against the civil rights act. Then after becoming President put Bobby Kennedy into wiretapping Martin Luther King, looking for dirt on him to stop him believing him to be a communist. I can only put the blame on news organizations and TV news shows for not telling the truth and pointing these things out to people and pursuing it. In todays world ,it is not easy for people to keep themselves abreast of all the news that effects them and their community or state. News organizations are definetely run by liberals and Democrats today and they have shown themselves to suppress unfavorable news towards Democrats and expand coverage of any news against Republicans. It is unquestionable that it is true, and has been proved over and over again by independent news sources. It is a fact that most liberals are included in the Democrat party. By that I mean, my definition of liberal is a far left extremist and socialist trying to bring down our republic. They do not want a republic,where anyone can rise by their own effort to be a business owner or self sufficient rich individual. They know they cannot survive if they have to make their own way in the world. They want government to take care of them and they want jobs in government that they can never be fired from. Their are a lot of politicians out there that never had a real job or worked in any business or made their way up the ladder. We have numerous senators and congress people who never held any kind of job in their lives.
I believe the truth will be apparent to everyone if they watch the election coverage this year. From the many election results around the country, we will see the will of the people shown against entrenched interests from both parties. If a congress person or senator has not performed to the satisfaction of the people in their particular community, they will find themselves back on the street, unemployed! The President knows now that he is a one term president, and he is trying every trick in his book to stop any kind of criticism from coming out from any source. President Obama has declared war on Fox news through Anita Dunn for their criticism of him on a few opinion shows. When that became to obvious they canned her as well. Just like they had to remove Van Jones when his admission that he was a communist and proud of it hit the news. Fox has always been fair in coverage of news stories and from my point of view, a little to leftist, trying to be fair. Anita Dunn was the one that said her two favorite persons to quote were Mao Zedung and Mother Theresa. She was the one that had Fox News under the gun, so to speak. We have to get over the attitude of: Kick them all out except my Congressman or my Senator! Their are a few I would like to keep in office as checks on the others but it has to be all. This whole mess we are in now has been tried before. Does anyone remember the old saying? Those that do not understand or read history are bound to repeat it. It has all been tried before in history, but not in the history books we are reading now.
The people that wrote the history books being taught today in schools, have changed it to fit their theory of what was wrong about it. According to liberals our whole system of government is wrong and we broke every rule their is, beginning our country. I would be the first to admit that our history is filled with inequities to the poor and disadvantaged as well as the Indian tribes. But the opportunities were there as well for anyone to get ahead and prosper. It is man himself that is evil and suppresses those around him and not government. Unless that government is a dictatorship, communist, socialist, or other suppressive abusive kind. Those men that wrote our Consitiution and Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independance, tried to make a country to protect its citizens and put those rights down on paper for people to live by. It is not perfect, nor can any document be perfect, if it is drawn up by men.. It is the best we have at the moment and has served us fairly well for over 233 years. But I digress from my original intent. The democratic party has been trying to gain unlimited power since before Reagan became President. They want a socialist style government or a Plutocracy and they all want to be in on it when Obama drives our economy into default and bankrupts our monetary system. When we can no longer pay our debtor nations back, for the money they have loaned us to keep our government functioning, then it will mean a total collapse and restructuring into a socialist style government. Obama has all his people already in position to take over everything.
George Soros and many others like him are waiting and planning. They have already tried to takeover and run some businesses the bailout gave them access to but they had no idea how to do it. None of them have ever had real jobs before or run any kind of business. The democrats have always needed a class or group of people they could claim they were looking out for. Give them welfare programs or pass laws nobody could enforce or set up programs that nobody could understand or apply for. Make getting help so complicated that nobody could recieve it. The people of America have finally become wise to Obama with his lies and doublespeak that contradicts all the promises he made. To get rid of lobbyists and pork barrel projects and to be open and above board with America. To place all bills and legislation on the internet for all to see and read before passage. It has been one lie after another and with a straight face he keeps repeating the lies right to our faces. The world leaders he has been in contact with think he is a real lightweight and not very intelligent. He angers our friends and placates our enemies. I really cannot comprehend his thinking. Does he think we are all stupid and cannot see what is going on. God help us all.
I started out with slavery and now we may wind up back into it if Obama succeeds with his plans for our country. Remember his ” Share The Wealth ” plans for us. The only jobs created so far are government jobs that are filled with democrats. No republicans need apply. So far this year alone their have been thousands of government jobs created and no private sector jobs. Almost without exception, small businesses create more jobs than any other source. We are still losing private sector jobs with maybe a slight slowdown in sight. Real jobs have gone overseas because there are still places with cheap labor still available. The crazy demands of environmentalists and global warming nuts have handicapped our economy to the point that we are being strangled by regulation that make no sense at all. Global warming is a farce, perpetuated by Al Gore and his merry little band of fake scientists, with fake figures manipulated to give false information as true. He has become very rich since he got on this bandwagon of fantasy. I seem to have become off track from where I started but I hope I got my point across. I could write for days about the things I see happening around us.
What about the phony energy crisis we are supposed to have. We have more energy right here in the U S that they have in the middle east and South America combined. Why haven’t we built a nuclear plant here in over 50 years.? We have the means to dispose of waste nuclear fuels without danger of any kind but we cannot use it. Why can’t we build a refinery or two right here and create jobs in the process.? Why can’t we get the oil under our feet and along our coasts and Alaska. We have enough clean burning methane to last us hundreds of years. Clean coal technologies are being tested now. Oil under the Rocky Mountains could be extracted and used. Democrats have blocked every attempt to do these things that would create thousands of jobs for people now. Can anyone tell me why? We send well over $25 BILLION dollars every year to countries and rulers that hate us and we finance them. How crazy is that? Please think about what I have said and look it up for yourself. It is all on the internet for all to see. Take an hour a week and look it all up and dig for your own answers. Please don’t take my word for it. Go and be enlightened yourselves as to what we are facing if we do nothing.

Another Reason Why Obama Care Got It Wrong
This article reviews a recent research report from the National Research Council that showed that life expectancy of Americans is shorter than citizens of other countries despite the U.S. spending more on health care than all other countries. The report proved that obesity and smoking were primary drivers in this shortfall, proving that the Obama adminstration got the health care crisis solution wrong by concentrating on taxation and bureaucracy to solve the problem, not the underlying causes.

Labour’s Failed Promises
When Tony Blair came to power in 1997 it sounded as if the UK had reached the promised land but sadly that is far from the the truth. Briain suffered badly under labour when Gordon Brown decimated the pension industry and sold over half of the UK,s Gold reserves at a twenty year low losing at least some £7 Billion..He led Britain into its greatest deficit in living memory and created a housing boom due to a lack of proper banking controls.

Illegal Immigrants Are Undermining The Businesses Of America In Every State They Move Into
The illegal immigrant supporters do not know how they are effecting every small business in America. They are always fond of saying,” They only take the jobs most Americans will not do ” That is a lie and a deliberate one. They are lowering the pay scales for every trade worker in the country. They will take any and every job they can for less money than most Americans usually make. They are lowering the pay scales for carpenters, electricians, plumbers, masons, steel workers, car makers.

THE EFFECT THE TEACHERS UNION HAS HAD ON EDUCATION IN AMERICA
This country has regressed in the education of our children since the late 1880s up until today. Ever since the unionization of our teachers into a nationwide union, the teaching profession has degenerated. All the unions are concerned with are expanding the union, with more and more teachers jobs being forced into more and more classrooms. Mostly with very little emphasis on curriculum or quality of teaching. The quality level of education has been dropping since the early 1900s.

This is the plan that was originally updated from the 1900s under Wilson and carried on with FDR. It was stopped by the American people after Wilson and again when FDR tried to carry on with what Wilson did. It has been festering in the background by the communist’s, socialist’s Marxist groups that hate freedom and justice. They are the ones who always want to destroy freedom and be in control of the people as long as they are doing the controlling. They are just evil in their hearts.

The killing of hundreds of thousands of jobs right here and sending them overseas by rules and regulations that have strangled small businesses. The filing of phony lawsuits in the courts to stop enforcement of immigration laws that they are supposed to be enforcing. The list just goes on and on.

The new politics and why both parties are failing America
This administration has gone against every promise it made before the elections and many after taking office. They said they would change America and they sure are. The vindictive and mean nature of their politics is reminiscent of Chicago style politics at its worst. The close affiliations with SEIU and Acorn have shown their past to be closely allied with both groups. He has stated in speeches that the aims of SEIU are his aims and he will work for them as long as possible.
