Mock Slave Auction Brings Some Spectators to Tears

Here's a source that has a few more slave owners at the convention.

Rethinking Schools Online

When we combine the two sources, we have the following

Bassett, Blair, Blount, Butler, Carroll, Davie, Houstoun, Jenifer, Madison, Mason, Alexander Martin, Luther Martin, McClurg, Mercer, Charles Pinckney, Charles Cotesworth Pinckney, Read, Rutledge, Spaight, Washington and Wythe.

That's 21 out of 55 that allegedly owned slaves in 1787. 38%

If we include Morris (a slave trader up until 1765 who may or may not have owned slaves at the time of the convention (since the abolishment of slavery in PA was gradual and did not apply to preexisting slaves), Franklin and Dickerson (Known former slave owners), we get 2, or about 44%.

Definitely looking better for Hatuey's numbers than yours, apdst.

Most of these men didn't own slaves in 1787. Speaking of lies, plagiarism and making **** up!

You are lying again.

Mercer, for example, had tried to pay his debts to Washington with slaves just one year earlier, The Writings of George Washington ... - Google Books yet he was not on the list you plagiarized.

Until you can provide a source that contradicts the list I have presented, please stop your incessant lying and making **** up.


P.S. I don't think you know what plagiarism means if you think I've plagiarized anything (hint: I've cited my sources and did not pass anything off without citation)

I'm thinking you're the one that doesn't know what plagiarism means.

He doesn't know what plagiarism is, when I told him he copied and pasted a bunch of crap from a wikipedia article and tried to insert it into his post, he essentially ignored the fact that he didn't even know what he had copied. He thought he was copying a list of slave owners. Not plantation owners. It's embarrasing.

that plagiarism exchange with him reminds me of a friend of mine from high school.

This friend was once talking about something he knew absolutely nothing about and I got so tired of listening to him I turned to him and said, "Dude, you're oblivious."

He responded by saying "**** you, dude! You're the one who's oblivious! What does that **** even mean anyway?"

To which I just laughed and said, "That. Oblivious means that. No definition in any dictionary on Earth can describe it's meaning better than that exchange right there does."

This caused a all of our other friends to laugh at him, and he got mad and finally stopped talking.
