the atlantic slave trade was at that point an outlaw operation as the british navy was preventing the transfer of slaves to the americas. the southern slave system relied on trading slaves amongst itself more than bringing in new slaves from africa.

It'd also been banned by Congress in 1808, and US navy ships (the Constellation most notably) participated in anti-slavery patrols off West Africa alongside the British.

if you see anyone making the "they should be in a museum" argument, point out that as most museums are private institutions, as long as they have storage space they would be more than happy to accept them as long as someone was able to pay for their removal, relocation, and preservation, and since you're so concerned about their preservation maybe you should get that going

A confederate statue put into a museum today is a reminder of the civil war, the circumstances and date under which it was put up, and the circumstances and date under which it was taken down. It also gives insight into the metallurgy and art of the time. It's a great tool for the offspring of those who actually have the chance to have sex to learn from mistakes and make a better future.

But we're angry about certain haircuts now, so let's destroy them.

He was involved in a 1987 incident at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in which two armed men — toting weapons fitted with silencers and dressed completely in black — robbed two fellow soldiers of their M-16 rifles during a routine exercise. The soldiers told investigators the stickup men had shouted “This is for the KKK!” as they fled.
