The ignoramus who is now smashing the monuments and history of America
---- Slavery was abolished in the state of Rhode Island --- 1652, Vermont - 1777, Pennsylvania - 1780, New York - 1799, New Jersey - 1804, and in 1807 Thomas Jefferson, who is now being thrown off the pedestal , banned the import of black slaves into America !!!! Texas abolished slavery - 1835-- all this happened long before the civil war of the north and south !!!!
