They should stick to messages about knee-mail.
Agree. Ask the Church how it feels about people wearing shirts emblazoned with Satan to a Sunday morning service. The point is that symbols reflect what is in people's heart. And, I'm as southern and conservative as s can be.They should stick to messages about knee-mail.
That Facebook post came from a commissioner in my county - my district. Just plain out stupid!They should stick to messages about knee-mail.
And a lot of the Underground Railroad ran through churches.
And sweet mercy from a lot of people came from the convictions of the heart through God.
An ex-Northern slaver wrote Amazing Grace. Think about it.
You're still wrong about people and life in general.
Believe the worst all you want. It will come true for you.
Slavery also wasn't abolished until 1868 which is 3 years after the War.
Also, Delaware, Kentucky and Maryland existed with Slavery intact all the way through that War.
You can be right some of the time. No problem with that.
You are dead wrong in thinking in the black and white terms of a different
time. Are your people from up North and if so which state?
There is one in Savannah, Georgia.
Is Catholic Christian enough? From Charleston and Savannah there were churches that sent people to remote parts of Florida
under the agreement that they convert to Catholicism. I process facts very well.
I'm NOT wrong about the 1868 date for the 14th Amendment.
And here's a little something from Wikipedia about the Nations capitol itself:
In December 1861, a bill was introduced in Congress for the abolition of slavery in Washington, D.C.[5] Written by Thomas Marshall Key,[6] and sponsored by Senator Henry Wilson of Massachusetts, the bill passed the Senate on April 3 by a vote of 29 in favor and 14 against.[7] It passed the House of Representatives on April 11.[8][9] Lincoln had wanted the bill to include a provision to make emancipation effective only after a favorable vote from the citizens of the District of Columbia.[10][11] He also wanted the bill to delay implementation until after a certain amount of time after the bill was signed.[10] Neither provision was included in the bill.[10][11] Lincoln signed the bill on April 16, 1862,[12] amid ongoing Congressional debate over an emancipation plan for the border states. Following the bill's passage, Lincoln proposed several changes to the act, which were approved by the legislature.[13]
The passage of the Compensated Emancipation Act came nearly nine months before the signing of the Emancipation Proclamation. The act, which set aside $1 million,[4] immediately emancipated slaves in Washington, D.C., giving Union slaveholders up to $300 per freed slave.[14] An additional $100,000[15] allocated by the law was used to pay each newly freed slave $100 if he or she chose to leave the United States and colonize in places such as Haiti or Liberia.[16]
When exactly did the Civil War begin, Professor? Help me with those facts.
Lincoln never would have done anything if it wasn't purely for political power and control.
The idea that the North was some holy liberal land of equal opportunity was a stretch that they feed kids to get
them a quick A+ and move on. Look at how the Fugitive Slave Acts got a lot of cooperation from people in Ohio
and all over. It was no utopia in any part of our country for a person of African descent.
Anyone worth a damn doesn't have as much time to blog on a website as much as you do.You are all over the place with this post. This topic is about churches, the confederate flag, and slavery.
1. If a church was sending African-Americans south to Florida, that church was not participating in the Underground Railroad. The Underground Railroad went one-way---north to the free states and thence to Canada. So you are wrong there.
2. You are half-right on your second point. You confused the Thirteenth Amendment, which abolished slavery and was ratified by the states in 1865, with the Fourteenth Amendment, which addresses the issue of citizenship, privileges and immunities, due process, and equal protection of the laws. Yes, that was ratified by the states in 1868. But you said slavery was not abolished until 1868, so you were wrong about that.
3. I have no comment on the random material you cut-and-pasted from Wikipedia. What does that have to do with churches?
4. Historians commonly agree that the Civil War began on 12 April 1865.
5. You are wrong about Ohio cooperating with enforcement of the Fugitive Slave Act. As proof, I present to you a link to the Acts of the General Assembly of the State of Ohio, Volume 54: "An Act to Prevent Slaveholding and Kidnapping in Ohio, 17 April 1857." https://books.google.com/books?id=S...ei=bl9UT4vMEeiB0QHU7YDVDQ#v=onepage&q&f=false
Do you have any other faulty opinions regarding American history that you would like me to correct?
