It’s just been suggested to me by someone who grew up in East Germany that my taking of their place on the couch is “very American.”

Posts reference Henry 'Box' Brown's 1849 escape ('Henry 📦 Brown 🆓', '27 hours'), critique the Founding Fathers as 'two faced about liberty and slavery', mention the East India Company, opium trade and potato famine, and state that 'Losing those colonies' helped the 'abolition of slavery in the British Empire'.

I’m all for calling out the Founding Fathers for more or less being two faced about liberty and slavery. I’m also for pointing out the East India Company, the opium trade in China, the response to the potato famine…

Didn’t think I’d see the phrase “babies of slaves” rendered in all caps one day but here we are.

Frederick Taylor, despite being raised Quaker and Abolitionist, has arguably done more to further contemporary enslavement than anyone else.

And we’ve seen something of what she’s described. It was called the slavery.

Losing those colonies certainly helped the abolition of slavery in the British Empire happen more quickly and easily than it might.

we are Rome c. 476 AD - the barbarians are no longer at the gates - they're already inside burning, looting, raping and pillaging and the chief fucking Hun is sitting in the oval

Just to clear up confusion by my fellow Americans who do not have the ability to check a poster’s profile in order to know whom they are talking to…, STOP assuming everyone on here is American, or even English speaking!

Henry 📦 Brown 🆓 #OTD in 1849 he arrives in Philadelphia after 27 hours of transport by wagon, railroad, steamboat, ferry, then railroad and wagon again! He carried a few biscuits and a bottle of water, had a single hole cut for air and stayed incredibly quiet in the crate 📦 Ever remembered 🪦
