Reparations for slavery

Saturday, March 4, 1865: “Yet, if God wills that it continue until all the wealth piled by the bondsman’s two hundred and fifty years of unrequited toil shall be sunk, and until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said “the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.”

The Union armies had from 2,500,000 to 2,750,000 men. Their losses, by the best estimates:
Battle deaths: 110,070
Disease, etc.: 250,152
Total 360,222

The Confederate strength, known less accurately because of missing records, was from 750,000 to 1,250,000. Its estimated losses:
Battle deaths: 94,000
Disease, etc.: 164,000
Total 258,000

Four years of civil war changed all that forever. In 1865 the national debt stood at $2.7 billion. Just the annual interest on that debt was more than twice our entire national budget in 1860. In fact, that Civil War debt is almost twice what the federal government spent before 1860.


Thursday, June 13, 2019: “WASHINGTON (AP) — The topic of reparations for slavery is headed to Capitol Hill for its first hearing in more than a decade with writer Ta-Nehisi Coates and actor Danny Glover set to testify before a House panel.”

With friends like these…

What dipstick in the OLO forced the Conservative justice committee members to support the NDP motion to pull the video stream of testimony by Lindsay Shepherd, Mark Steyn and John Robson?

When Andy Panda was running for leadership, he was all ready to board the free speech ship captained by Shepherd, going so far as to threaten Universities. Now? Well, thank you Miss, but you’ve served your purpose.

I see Andy Panda’s spine resembles the rest of his physique, pliable.

Could of had Max.
