Mr. Veritas

Next time you hear someone beg for reparation for slavery, please advise them reparation was paid to actual freed slaves. It was "40 acres and a mule," an early effort at Republican Civil War reparations for newly freed Black Americans. It came from Union General William Tecumseh Sherman's Special Field Orders, No. 15 in January 1865, which set aside confiscated coastal land for freed families, with army mules added later to help farm the plots. But, most importantly, reparations was paid by the bloodshed of 364, 511 Northern soldiers who died, and 281,881 who were wounded providing freedom to black and white slaves. Yes, roughly 3,775 free Blacks (including mixed-race individuals) owned about 12,760 slaves of both blacks and whites. These were concentrated mainly in Louisiana, South Carolina, Virginia, and Maryland. Ask yourself why Democrats and their Fake News media puppets never talk about blacks owning WHITE SLAVES.
