Florida Gov Ron DeSantis: delusional, stupid or a liar. He has said that the American revolution caused ppl for the first time “to question slavery” & as a result this country gave all ppl equal rights. DeSantis is doing his best to court white supremacists as he eyes the Oval Office. 13
1) Slavery was allowed in all 13 colonies. (Marq Law Sch faculty blog, 12/20/12). 2) The 1787 Constitution was no more advance: "...the right of property in a slave is distinctly and expressly affirmed in the Constitution." Dred Scott v Sanford, 60 U.S. 393 (1857). 3) The Civil War 2/3
ended slavery with Amendment XIII. DeSantis wants to block children from learning the history of this country. One must infer DeSantis wants those children to repeat the past. I’m stunned by a governor espousing such ignorance as has DeSantis. 3/3
