I think the case of "southern gentleman" Robert E. Lee shows the horrors of slavery. He inherited people as property from his father-in-law and refused to free them according to the will. They escaped his plantation under the understanding that they were legally emancipated:

Lee's more strict expectations and harsher punishments of the slaves on Arlington plantation nearly led to a revolt, since many of the enslaved people had been given to understand that they were to be made free as soon as Custis died, and protested angrily at the delay. In May 1858, Lee wrote to his son Rooney, "I have had some trouble with some of the people. Reuben, Parks & Edward, in the beginning of the previous week, rebelled against my authority—refused to obey my orders, & said they were as free as I was, etc., etc.—I succeeded in capturing them & lodging them in jail. They resisted till overpowered & called upon the other people to rescue them."

Wesley Norris himself spoke out about the incident after the war, in an 1866 interview printed in an abolitionist newspaper, the National Anti-Slavery Standard. Norris said that after they had been captured, and forced to return to Arlington, Lee told them that "he would teach us a lesson we would not soon forget". According to Norris, Lee had the overseer tie the three of them firmly to posts, and ordered them whipped: 50 lashes for the men and 20 for Mary Norris. Norris claimed that Lee encouraged the whipping, and that when the overseer refused to do it, called in the county constable to do it instead. Unlike the anonymous letter writers, he does not state that Lee himself whipped any of the enslaved people. According to Norris, Lee "frequently enjoined [Constable] Williams to 'lay it on well', an injunction which he did not fail to heed; not satisfied with simply lacerating our naked flesh, Gen. Lee then ordered the overseer to thoroughly wash our backs with brine, which was done."

STFU and release the epstein files already.

If you are black and vote R, you're a fucking moron.

It is negative for a reason.

They're not wrong. They actually teach that slavery was abolished in the US..

Next they'll say we're all being too negative about the holocaust

Lesson #1: Do as you are told.

"Slavery wasn't all bad."

-The people that benefited from slavery.

Epstein files.

You should see the CNN segment where a white lady argued with the black host that slavery wasn't a white thing. CNN, not Fox.

“Political balance”

If slavery and genocide have to be viewed positively for you to feel heard then you should reevaluate yourself.

Please be satire

I watched “The Woman King” recently and it is kind of crazy. The tribes were basically selling their own people or captured people of other tribes for profit. Looking at the genocide that was and still is happening in Africa.

Did those people that were sold actually help their future ancestors?
