owning slaves was an incrediblly expensive thing.....I saw a slave auction document where many slaves cost several thousand dollars which was a fortune back then....if you bought a lexis would you burn it if it had a flat tire....slave owners were business men and beating their property to death would have been incredibly stupid.....it rarely if ever happened

Nah...they kept them alive...just enough to work and reproduce. Yea they did that too.

Why lie? They didn't say they beat them to death. They said they beat them and worked them to death.

That's interesting. My relatives were common foot soldiers scum like this ordered to their deaths fighting for a lie. He got a grand gravesite and my ancestors got six generations of sharecropper misery.

Lies make you look like a jackass.

Why lie? They didn't say they beat them to death. They said they beat them and worked them to death.

Why would someone work a slave to death that cost the equivalent of $80,000 in today's money?

Can you imagine how stupid you sound making those claims?

The United States government worked slaves to death, but a slave owner, who was trying to run a business wasn't going to do something like that because it didn't make good business sense.

Is that the metric now? If you don’t work a slave to death , Slavery is fine?

The city of Richmond, Virginia, has dug up the remains of Confederate General A.P. Hill as it continues to purge Confe~Snip~!derate symbols and monuments from public spaces.
The remains of Hill, which had been buried under a monument to the general, were located on Tuesday after two days of digging. The casket of Hill, who was reportedly buried standing up, was rotted away when workers finally found the remains using an excavator.
According to local reporter Riley Wyant, the remains of Hill were blocked from public view using a tarp before they were transferred into a body bag and wheeled away on a stretcher. The remains were transferred to the general’s relatives, including John Hill, the general’s closest indirect descendent.

​

~Snip~
The removal of the statue and remains comes after a legal battle between the city and descendants of Hill, which was complicated by the monument’s usage as a headstone. The move was hailed by Democratic Richmond Mayor Levar Stoney, but decried by Hill’s relatives.
“Over two years ago, Richmond was home to more Confederate statues than any city in the United States. Collectively, we have closed that chapter,” Stoney tweeted. “We now continue the work of being a more inclusive and welcoming place where ALL belong.”

Commentary:
Even though I disagree with the confederacy, I also disagree with removing anything related to the confederacy. I say keep them as a reminder of history.
The ghoulish removal of the remains of soldiers that fought in te Civil War on either side is wrong.
Erasing our history, culture and traditions one statue and body at a time.
Maoist Racist Democrats have become the American Taliban.

Finally! Some of the shovel-ready jobs Obama promised us.

American slaves had longer lifespans than their free counterparts in their native countries.

Is that what I said? Of course it isn't. You Leftists can't post a comment without lying. Can u u?

The average slave was around $1500 bucks or so. In today's money, that's about $50k. Or about as much as a decent car or a pretty stripped pickup truck. Hardly 'incredibly expensive'. There was also a crashin the slave market in the 1840s where they were about half that.

And your Ram 1500 can't fuck a Toyota Tundra to make a Ford Ranger.Nor do you have to routinely and systematically torture your Nissan Pathfinder to get it to run. Or castrate your GMC Sierra if it kept running away. Or rape your kids into a Hondra Ridgeline if your wife isn't putting out.

So you may want to dial back the car analogies. These are people we're talking about.

Leave our history alone... it is all of our history...
