@MorningPlow @wil_da_beast630 Imagine thinking Black people, especially Black Americans who underwent centuries of rape, can't have red hair. This ain't the own you think it is. This is what happens when you live in ignorance. https://t.co/ZRGmsvoZmK — PolitiTweet.org

@UnionizeYaself @sadfly46 Now you keep changing your argument. — PolitiTweet.org

@UnionizeYaself @TraceySchulz What are you talking about?? — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@UnionizeYaself @christ0phanes Shipbuilders, textile workers, rum distillers, Midwestern farmers who sold food staples to plantations, who produced slave cloth to outfit the enslaved, bankers, insurers, universities that held enslaved people as assets all profited from slavery. What are you talking about. — PolitiTweet.org

@UnionizeYaself @christ0phanes Except there's a whole field called new history of capitalism that disputes this. As does a lot of old scholarship as well. — PolitiTweet.org

@bpickar Are the Midwestern states, such as Iowa, that are largely agrarian, backwards? Should the profit made by agriculture there be judged against Apple when determining if it was important to the economy? — PolitiTweet.org

@compoccia Hamilton wanted to colonize Black people outside of the US. — PolitiTweet.org

@compoccia You said he did not own slaves. He became anti-slavery, and here's a reason why. Franklin: “Why increase the sons of Africa, by planting them in America, where we have so fair an opportunity, by excluding all blacks and tawnys, of increasing the lovely white and red?” — PolitiTweet.org

@steveplotnicki The value of enslaved people in the US was worth more than all the nation's railroads and factories combined. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@compoccia What counter point do you think saying we had to allow slavery or their could be no USA is making, precisely. — PolitiTweet.org

@compoccia 6) Your myths have not served you well. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@compoccia 5) Alexander Hamilton was a slaveowner. https://t.co/h2ryTX5cnF — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@compoccia 3) The Founders could have abolished slavery. They did not. 4) The Constitution ensured Southern slaveholding dominance in the nascent US. https://t.co/tC5MWvWjFX — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@compoccia 1) Benjamin Franklin did own enslaved people. 2) The Constitution was pro-slavery. https://t.co/3KkHtazeV6 — PolitiTweet.org

@LibertyEthics @wil_da_beast630 No, my argument is not how it compares to free systems. My argument was that it made a lot of money for colonial powers and it did. My argument had nothing to do with efficiencies. Further, even the end of slavery did not bring about "free labor" for Black people. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@steveplotnicki So, if Apple doesn't make as much money as Amazon it's not a profitable company that contributed to the American economy. Y'all kill me. Plenty of books and research out there. A put about a dozen links in the thread. If you really want to learn, you can. But I suspect you don't. — PolitiTweet.org

@sausage_club @adri16 Britain transported more Africans across the country than any nation in the world, if not for profit, for WHAT exactly? Google Bristol and the slave trade, just for kicks. — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@LibertyEthics @collypso @ozmainthedark There is a tremendous amount of research that shows the way slavery enriched the colonial powers and not just a few individuals. I posted one such Princeton study in your thread. So, truly, I'm not interested. — PolitiTweet.org

@collypso @ozmainthedark What does "far less profitable" compared to something else have to do with the argument about profitability? — PolitiTweet.org

@shmr50 I'm trying to discern your argument here. Being less populous makes you backwards? And not sure why you mean by economically advanced. — PolitiTweet.org

@FightingFitzman @roderickgraham What are the non-factual claims? — PolitiTweet.org
Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones
@PamKeithFL @WarrenAlbert14 So, our nation is backwards then, since all 13 colonies practiced chattel slavery as did the men who drafted our founding documents. So, good point. — PolitiTweet.org
