El Paso and Trump?

Is it that you like cleaning up other people's messes or you just can stand messes thus are compelled to clean them up?

Very interesting.  Of course, slavery already existed in the Americas in 1619 -- in colonies further south.  This probably included Florida and New Mexico, both of which had been settled by then (and possibly Texas and Louisiana, too), albeit sparsely.  And those first black slaves were actual indentured servants, just as many whites were.  But who -- at the New Barackum Slimes, anyway -- cares about such minor details?

One might also note that slaves played only minor roles in many northern states (though New York and New Jersey had a fair number), and even Georgia initially banned slavery there.  I wonder if any leftists are aware that the Northwest Ordinance of 1787 banned slavery in an area that ended up forming 5 states (and part of a sixth).  I also wonder if they're aware that many Indian tribes, especially in the South, kept slaves of their own, which has a lot to do why the Five Civilized Tribes initially allied with the CSA.  Indeed, the remaining Confederate Indians didn't surrender until nearly a month after Edmund Kirby Smith surrended the Transmississippi forces.  (At that point, the only unsurrendered Confederate force was the cruiser Shenandoah, hunting down whales in the Bering Sea.)

But as any leftist worth her salt would say:  Details, details.
