the Civil War. BLM and the others are trying to silence voices like mine.

On this 4th of July, contrary to the propaganda that is out there, THE AMERICAN FOUNDING WAS THE GREATEST ANTI-SLAVERY MOVEMENT IN HUMAN HISTORY.
—“The Declaration of Independence launched the greatest abolitionist movement in human history: the United States of America.
—Slavery is older than human history, stretching back thousands of years to prehistoric times, before written historical records were kept, occurring in all societies, across the globe, over many centuries. It is heart-wrenching to know that human beings were treated as mere property, owned, controlled, used, won, bought and sold by others.
—One group of people, far from being morally perfect, dared to declare a universal, true moral idea: that all men are created equal in terms of inalienable natural rights to life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness. These imperfect people set for themselves an ambitious goal for which there was no historical model: to create a new nation upon that idea. And the idea was enshrined forever in the America’s Declaration of Independence.
—The American idea is perfect. Every human being, regardless of looks, language, or religious beliefs—whether rich or poor or in between—does possess, by nature, a morally rightful claim to his or her own freedom, to whatever he or she rightfully owns, equal to all other human beings.
—In the early decades of our republic, many Americans made big strides toward their goal. They treated slavery like a cancer: prohibiting the supply of slaves from Africa; prohibiting the spread of slavery to new federal territories; confining slavery to where it existed in the original states. Between the Declaration of Independence and 1800, a mere 24 years, half of those original states abolished domestic slavery.
—That was not the end of the tragic story, of course. Through a terrible, bloody Civil War, Americans gave their lives to abolish slavery, resulting in a constitutional amendment, only a few more than four score and seven years after the Declaration of Independence.
—Never before had a people declared their own independence upon a universal moral idea that applies to all human beings, everywhere, always. Never before had so much been done to constrain and eliminate slavery so quickly. The American Founding was the greatest anti-slavery movement in human history.” –Thomas Krannawitter, Ph.D
