“You were taught cotton was the cash crop of the south. You were lied to. The cash crop of the south was human beings - particularly in the upper south. Slave owners forcibly bred human beings and then sold them for a profit. Sometimes their very own children.”
“You were taught cotton was the cash crop of the south. You were lied to. The cash crop of the south was human beings - particularly in the upper south. Slave owners forcibly bred human beings and then sold them for a profit. Sometimes their very own children.”
"How bad slavery was" is worse. Much worse. Much worse than you think, much worse than you're taught, much worse than museums depict. Worse.
