minus-square deadbeef79000 ( @deadbeef79000@lemmy.nz ) linkfedilink8•1 year agoThink about Lincoln’s Gettysburg address for a minute. …conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal… Which is a big fat lie. True only if you were a white male landowner. If the union has not been founded on slavery then there wouldn’t even have been a civil war to win/lose. The founding fathers as a group were quite happy with slavery, racism, and sexism. That’s what the USA was founded on, that is the legacy it maintains today.
