Stand up if your race were never slaves. USA took major steps to end it. Imagine if the democrats had won the civil war though. Black slavery in some States may have continued for decades.

 
“These Negroes, they're getting pretty uppity these days and that's a problem for us since they've got something now they never had before, the political pull to back up their uppityness. Now we've got to do something about this, we've got to give them a little something, just enough to quiet them down, not enough to make a difference. For if we don't move at all, then their allies will line up against us and there'll be no way of stopping them, we'll lose the filibuster and there'll be no way of putting a brake on all sorts of wild legislation. It'll be Reconstruction all over again. [Said to Senator Richard Russell, Jr. (D-GA) regarding the Civil Rights Act of 1957]”
― Lyndon B. Johnson
 
“As long as you are black, and you’re gonna be black till the day you die, no one’s gonna call you by your gd name. So no matter what you are called, n***er, you just let it roll off your back like water, and you’ll make it. Just pretend you’re a gd piece of furniture. [Said to his chauffeur, Robert Parker, when Parker said he’d prefer to be referred to by his name rather than "boy," "n***er" or "chief."]”
― Lyndon B. Johnson
 
“Son, when I appoint a n***er to the bench, I want everybody to know he’s a ******. [Said to an aide in 1965 regarding the appointment of Thurgood Marshall as associate justice of the Supreme Court]”
― Lyndon B. Johnson

End the excuses white boy. Thisis the country that hs bragged aboutbeing founded on freedom for everyone.

Republicans authored an amendment to officially make slavery a constitutionally protected activity. The Republican Party is the party of The Corwin Amendment that would have cemented slavery as a constitutional right.

Now tell us how many whites were discrominated against by Jim Crow, and stop talking about slavery as if that was it.

Slavery was on its way out even before the North put the economic squeeze on the South forcing it into war. The Industrial Revolution would have ended slavery without a war. Compared to machines, slavery was expensive. We are going through the same thing today as machines replace very low wage criminal alien workers.


Not only was slavery's expenses were getting to be prohibitive but the public antipathy was growing. The entire idea of slavery was getting to be distasteful. Ending slavey became an issue because Abraham Lincoln felt that the south needed to be punished for leaving the union. That's the punishment he imposed.
 
When we moved to NorCal in the mid '80s, my daughter quickly made friends with Ketisha and Teniqua. The girls were about 10 at the time. One day Ketisha brought her eight year old brother over to meet us. His first name is Sir.

The Corwin Amendment, also called the “Slavery Amendment,” was a constitutional amendment passed by Congress in 1861 but never ratified by the states that would have banned the federal government from abolishing the institution of slavery in the states where it existed at the time. Considering it a last-ditch effort to prevent the looming Civil War, supporters of the Corwin Amendment hoped it would prevent the southern states that had not already done so from seceding from the Union. Ironically, Abraham Lincoln did not oppose the measure.

The Text of the Corwin Amendment​

The operative section of the Corwin Amendment states:

“No amendment shall be made to the Constitution which will authorize or give to Congress the power to abolish or interfere, within any State, with the domestic institutions thereof, including that of persons held to labor or service by the laws of said State.”

Thomas Corwin​
Thomas Corwin (July 29, 1794 – December 18, 1865), also known as Tom Corwin, The Wagon Boy, and Black Tom was a politician from the state of Ohio. He represented Ohio in both houses of Congress and served as the 15th governor of Ohio and the 20th Secretary of the Treasury. After affiliating with the Whig Party, he joined the Republican Party in the 1850s. Corwin is best known for his sponsorship of the proposed Corwin Amendment, which was presented in an unsuccessful attempt to avoid the oncoming American Civil War.

In 1860, he was chairman of the House "Committee of Thirty-three", consisting of one member from each state, and appointed to consider the condition of the nation and, if possible, to devise some scheme for reconciling the North and the South in the secessionist crisis following the election of Abraham Lincoln to the presidency. To that end, he sponsored a proposed Constitutional Amendment, which later became known as the Corwin Amendment, which forbade the Federal Government from outlawing slavery.

When I came to California in 1959 my first friend was a black girl named Cheryl. We are still friends to this very day.
