Slaveholders dominated the White House, the Supreme Court and the House of Reps until the Civil War. The shaped our legal and political systems. Many historians have said America was founded as a slaveholding republic.https://t.co/pBMvYm79Jo — PolitiTweet.org

I have an entire section on this in my Democracy essay in the 1619 Project. Virginia was the heart of the American Revolution. Virginians drafted our founding documents. Virginians dominated the early presidency. Virginia was the capital of the Confederacy. — PolitiTweet.org

10 of our nations first 12 presidents were Southern slaveholders. So many of our major political crashes were over keeping a balance between slave/freestates. AN ENTIRE WAR WAS FOUGHT OVER IT. There was no "backwards slaveholding South." There was AMERICA. https://t.co/tC5MWvVLQp — PolitiTweet.org
