he would be on the infinity dollar bill, and he'd be the only one to own one

this bill is worth roundhouse kick. the only ones to figure out what that means are currently on the other side of the universe

Yes, they did...I thought the same thing as you, but I googled it.

Yes, it's the internet, but more stories than not said that both Franklin and Grant owned slaves.

Well, I believe it has yet to be shown that Ulysses himself owned more than a single slave. So he may not have owned slaves; he owned a SINGLE slave :P

Even if you own a SINGLE slave you are therefore a SLAVE OWNER, which is the exact wording that the author of this meme used originally.

Yes, he was a slave owner. NemoNeem1221, however, used the phrase "own slaves." I was just pointing out a pointless and pedantic way in which he could have accidentally been correct in some guise. It was a joke, not a point :)

:)

True dat!

It Wasn't About Owning Slaves, It's About Them Being Men Who left The USA For The CSA And Then Attacked To Destroy The USA!!! They Committed Treason!!!

Liberals: we should not have statues of traitors who seceded from the union.

Also liberals: we support California's efforts to secede from the USA because Trump.

XD Double standards 100% legit fresh on the rotten tomatoes.

Legally Seceding Is Way Different Than Seceding Then Attacking Us After...

Thanks my weekly dose of cognitive dissonance

LOL Uh pumpkin, secession comes first then comes the conflict. What do you think would happen if CA seceded? The USA would throw them a going away party?

Funny, that's what George III said about the rebelling American colonies.

This how much folks understand with those statues still up for all to 'know' history. Imagine if they all come down.

Actually, they did support secession. Just from a different country.

So....we're talking about OUR country.

So... you're saying secession is only wrong when it's not us? Or are you saying it's only wrong when it doesn't work?

Good point.

I'm saying I don't care about another secession except ours.

Confederates or not, some of these men did some terrible things to their slaves....

In fact, Notes on Virginia is probably Jeffersons most racist book.

Slaveowners or not... Confederates were treasonous criminals and losers. Why keep statues up for losers? We are about WINNING.

All I'm saying is our forefathers, including presidents, were complete scumbags. And yet nobody bats an eye at their terrible deeds which range from rape to genocide.

If we are a nation about winning is it by any means necessary? Including what our forefathers did?

Yep. You're either a winner or a loser. Lead, follow or get out of the way.

What kind of leader leads with the very things they claim to oppose? Like some of these gents did

:D

You do realize there's kind of a big difference between significant historical figures who happened to own slaves, and traitors whose only contribution to history was defending the institution of slavery.

The secession wasn't about slavery. It was about the states' rights to govern themselves. Lincoln only used the slave thing for political gain. His reason for war was to keep the country together, nothing to do with slavery.

so you want pennies, dimes, nickels and quarters, too?

I would also like to relieve some of my fellow Americans of the burden

I'll send you all the money I have with images of traitors who rebelled against the country. How bout that? (p.s. educate yourself)

I live in England, so send away
(P.S. I don't actually live in England)
(P.P.S. is it only wrong when it's against you?)

before 1929 you could trade in your banknotes for their value in gold or silver, the note will usually say below the portrait "THIS NOTE IS LEGAL TENDER FOR ALL DEBTS, PUBLIC AND PRIVATE, AND IS REDEEMABLE IN LAWFUL MONEY AT THE UNITED STATES TREASURY OR ANY FEDERAL RESERVE BANK." but after the depression, the federal reserve revoked that after the depression.

Btw we should make silver coins of Trump and use those as currency lol
