Perry once defended Confederate symbols

But, indentured servants were released from their contract, after the agreed upon period of time. Now, weren't they??

They couldn't leave DURING the contract

Under the law, a party to a contract can abrogate the contract and refuse to perform, and there were no criminal penalties. This was not true of indentured servants, which is why indentured servitude, as it was practiced in conlonial america, was a form of slavery

But thanks for once again demonstrating how ignorant the right is when it comes to slavery

Did that law exist in the 1700's?

no one forced them into the contract.

but thanks again for demonstrating how far the left will go to deny reality.
 
funny how indentured servitude is only considered a form of slavery when doing so supports the left's position.
 
Actually, in the beginning, white and black indentured servants worked together, and lived together, on plantations. It was only when some of them began intermarrying that indentured servitude was no longer an option for a few blacks, and all blacks became slaves.

I don't think there ever was a time when all blacks were slaves.

Contract law dates back much further than the 1700's

no one forced them into the contract.

but thanks again for demonstrating how far the left will go to deny reality.

Many were children who were forced into indentured servitude. Once again, the right believes in fiction

It wasn't just a contract. Contracts are enforced in civil court. Indentured servitude was enforced by criminal courts.

but thanks again for demonstrating how far the right will go to deny reality by repeating slogans

following the logic of some in this thread, it should be okee dokee for German & Austrian politicians to wave the Nazi flag above their homes and govt. offices.

why? becuase Nazism simply represented the culmination of centuries of German nationalism.

Yet, the Left has no problem with Communists, who murdered 10 times more people than the Nazis ever dreamed of.
 
the Stars & bars + the Confederacy.

the Nazi flag + the Third Reich.

the comparison seems accurate to me.

The Stars and Stripes = 90 years of slavery.

The Stars and Bars = 4 years of slavery.

Wanna keep up with the silly comparisons?

Correction: 230 years of slavery. Most blacks still live on the Libbo Plantation.

Right!.......................

The Communists killed my great-uncle. They also finished much of the work against my people that the Nazis started, along with assisting the Nazis' persecution of the Jews. So of course I hate them.

Are you calling me a liar?

Nah, they're just celebrating their "traditions" because everyone knows there's nothing political about a flag :roll:

Who, exactly, is this "left" who has no problem with Communists?

Do you mean that no one should have a problem with Communists, as Communism is dead and has been for at least 20 years now?
