@karl_jacoby The Mexican Army is coming “to compel you into obedience to the new form of government; to compel you to give up your arms; to compel you to have your country garrisoned; to compel you to liberate your slaves...”
@HannahDCox “While in the early years of his presidency Reagan tried to shrink the IRS, by the end, the number of IRS employees hit an all-time high. The reason: a desire to crack down on the proliferation of tax shelters and boost tax revenue.”
@chbstone2 @NC_WASP “Allow ALL the governed an equal voice in the government, and that, and that only is self government. Let it not be said I am contending for the establishment of political and social equality between the whites and blacks.”
@StewMama71@AnneTidwellRN@FoxNews There’s no need to claim that the English were enslaved in order to address this question. Hundreds of thousands, minimum, Native Americans were enslaved. Highly recommend: The Other Slavery by Andrés Reséndez
