History teaches the GOOD, the BAD, and the UGLY...not just the GOOD

Published:

George Washington, the first President of the United States, was a slave owner for practically all of his life. He is known as the father of our country. Now I know why.

 

 
President Andrew Jackson was said to have owned as many as 150 slaves. Jackson generally wanted his slaves to be treated well.  He told one overseer “that he was to treat them with great humanity, feed and cloath them well, and work them in moderation.”  But Jackson could occasionally be cruel, ordering slave whipped for running away or being impudent. He also led the slaughter of Seminole Indians.
 

U.S. grant owned one slave given to him by his father in law. In addition, his wife owned four slaves. But one of his quotes stated that,” Nations, like individuals, are punished for their transgressions.” Was this man a prophet or what?

 
Benjamin Franklin owned at least two slaves, George and King, before becoming an avid abolitionist in the years following the Revolutionary War. Ben was also an adulterer who admitted to having numerous sexual relations.

 

The picture speaks for itself...YUK –YUK- YUK- YUK- YUK- YUK –YUK- YUK- YUK- YUK- YUK –YUK- YUK- YUK- YUK   OUT F-ing STANDARD!
 
I am so glad I went to college. There the real history of people and our country is taught. Many that try to ellaborate about important events don't tell the real story simply because they have a lack of knowledge. A high school education only scratch the surface. When the whole story is told one gets an understanding of an individual and why they were the way they were.

Some will try to go tit for tat about who owned slaves. Indians owned slaves too, but that doesn't negate the fact that the majority of slave owners were mostly White and received by far the harshest treatment from white slavers.
