Well, at least he acknowledges which side Ohio was on in the Civil War. What with all the confederate flags around, some people are confused about that. Progress?
The Ptolemaic dynasty was from Greece and given the pharonic habit of keeping it in the family, they probably would have continued looking mostly Greek. Cleopatra probably also wouldn't have had all that hair. She likely would have been shaved and wore a wig. And sometimes a beard.
Partly the same reason that any large influx of European immigrants were regarded with contempt and hostility (they're going to take our JOBS!) with a LARGE dose of racism on top. Keep in mind also that the same sort of folks who gave us Jim Crow were in the federal government as well and would have loved to institute the same rules nationwide. Didn't quite get there, but it's way too easy to turn people against each other.
Nope. There were slave markets in Rome described in letters by Popes. Europe wasn't fully Christianized until centuries after Rome fell and it was OK for Christians to own non-Christians as slaves.
Every avenue for change is steadily being blocked. The latest are HR1/SR2 to prevent successful citizen petition drives. They plan to change the Ohio Constitution in an August special election (which they just had banned last year as wasteful and undemocratic) to require a 60% rather than 50%+1 and to get a lot of signatures from all 88 counties rather than half of the counties and probably more that I can't recall. And this is after instituting voting rules to make it harder for especially young people to vote. Not to mention the gerrymandering. 🤬
Problem was that the North was still bound by the Constitution and existing law, which required returning slaves. Took them a while to cut out the practice. That's why they started calling slaves "contraband" which they could take legally from enemy combatants.
Weird how a party committed to reducing taxes on the wealthy to zero and rallying under the cry of "taxation is slavery" are also just fine with the idea that individuals used to tax their "property" 100% of their economic output. Oh, I forgot - they never considered them people.
Reparations would do a great deal towards tipping the scales back into balance - not that it would fix everything but at least it would show good intent. Native Americans should get even more as we genocided them damn near into oblivion and stole the whole country from them.
Famous preacher went to Georgia and advocated the RETURN of slavery which had been banned for about 20 years. He needed slaves to support his orphanages. Yes, really.

No, just kidding. It's not.
Oh, a used car salesman and Trump humper. That explains it.
I was thinking he meant Columbia University. Equally foreign now.
Columbia TN definitely wouldn't require naturalization in Ohio. Not for a Republican.

(Ohio brain): reparations = money from my pocket to a stranger /no
I thought being a politician meant you check most of your morals at the door...
Become a Republican! Just open your mouth and spew dumb takes 24/7.

Many had the common sense (that Southern whites apparently lacked) that slave labor was bad for them personally.

Fuck Ted Cruz
About returning slaves ... that was the law at the time. Not exactly a policy. They had to work to get around the existing law.

a quaker? this is wild!
