Blacks Were Enslaved Well into the 1960s
But we’re always told to “get over it, it happened centuries ago, get over it.” Yeah, uh-huh. SHUT UP.
American history is usually warped but one of the biggest lies that has ever been told is that the Emancipation Proclimation freed slaves. Lincoln issued the Proclimation in order to take slaves away from confederate states in rebellion but it actually freed ZERO slaves because the confederate states didn’t recognize Lincoln as their president. After the Civil War slavery was basically took the form of 3 things: sharecropping, peonage (debt-slavery), and convict-leasing.
