IT"S BLACK HISTORY MONTH, BUT TODAY IS THE MOST RACIST FEDRAL HOLIDAY OF THE YEAR!!! CHECK THE KNOWLEDGE ON OUR FOUNDING FATHERS!! FUCK PRESIDENT"S DAY!!!!

Washington
operated his plantations as a typical Virginia slave owner. In the 1760s, he dropped tobacco (which was prestigious but unprofitable) and shifted to wheat growing and diversified into milling flour, weaving cloth, and distilling brandy. By the time of his death, there were 317 slaves at Mount Vernon.

Jefferson
owned many slaves over his lifetime. Some find it baffling that Thomas Jefferson owned slaves yet was outspoken in saying that slavery was immoral and it should be abolished

Madison
Another of my wishes is to depend as little as possible on the labour of slaves.

Monroe
demonstrating great administrative ability and winning praise for his decisive action to suppress a slave uprising (Gabriel's Insurrection) in 1800.

Andrew Jackson
himself has been denounced as a fraud and opportunist who nearly wrecked the credit and currency facilities of this nation, a right-wing reactionary, a defender of slavery, and a vengeful murderer of Native Americans.

Martin Van Buren
He assured the South that he would protect slavery in the states where it existed and announced his opposition to the abolition of the "peculiar institution" in the District of Columbia.

Willam Harrison Henry
declared he was in favor of emancipation only if the slaves were sent back to Africa

John Taylor
proposed eliminating the slave trade (but not slavery) in the District of Columbia. â€œMr Tyler stated thatâ€¦ (he) had a decided objection to the District of Columbia being made a slave mart, a depot for the slaves brought from the two neighboring states

Polk
his plantation was troubled by slaves running away to nearby plantations & when Polk visited the plantation he had the most recent two brought back and whipped.

Zachary Taylor
â€œI too have been all my life industrious and frugal, and that the fruits thereof are mainly invested in slaves, of whom I own three hundred.â€

Milford Filmore s
igned a law banning the slave trade (but not the ownership of slaves) in Washington, D.C.. Asians would be permitted in to replace the slave labor force.

Franklin Pierce : â€œ
I believe that involuntary servitude as it exists in different states of this Confederacy, is recognized by the constitution. I believe that it stands like any other admitted right, and that the states where it exists are entitled to efficient remedies to enforce the constitutional provisions

J. Buchanan
There can be no middle course. Is there any man in this Union who could, for a moment, indulge in the horrible idea of abolishing slavery by the massacre of the high-minded, and the chivalrous race of men in the South?"

Lincoln
â€œI confess I hate to see the poor creatures hunted down, and caught, and carried back to their stripes, and unrewarded toils; but I bite my lip and keep quiet

Andrew Johnson
As a state legislator AJ proposed amending the Tennessee constitution so that slaves would no longer be counted in calculating representation. At the time they were being counted as three-fifths of a free person, the same as in the federal constitution, giving a large advantage to counties where many slaves were owned

US Grant "
The people of Mexico are a very different race of people from ours. The better class are very proud and tyrinize over the lower and much more numerous class as much as a hard master does over his negroes, and they submit to it quite humbly

Hey King of the Burbz nice name
John Brown (1736-1803) was an American merchant and statesman from Providence, Rhode Island and founder of Brown University.
Born in Providence, January 27, 1736, Brown went on to own a successful farming and shipping business with his brothers, Nicholas, Joseph, and Moses Brown. He was active in the slave trade and china trade and invested heavily in privateers during the 1760s through 1780s
