Oppresor Nation

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA WAS NEVER, IN TOTAL, A SLAVE NATION. At the time of the Civil War, the United States consisted of 26 States--13 Northern States or Free States and 13 Southern States or Slave Sates. The population of the Northern States, at that time, was 17,000.000 while the Southern States had a population of 9,000.000 or a 2-1 ratio in favor of the Free States. In short their were more of our nations people opposed to slavery than for it. In fact it is known that in all we had only 120,000 Plantation Owners that had large quantities of Slaves. In total, just prior to the Civil War, as a nation we had a total population of 4,000.000 blacks, not all slaves. The slave population in the south was 3,600.000. The fact that the majority of blacks, of today, refuse to acknowledge the truth of the matter, indicates to me that they must, in their hearts, have a particular motivation for wanting our citizens to believe we were the main participants and founders of Slavery. Wrong! Of all the Slaves sent to the America's, 20% went to North America while 80% to South America or to various islands. World History shows that slavery was known to exist over 3,500 years ago. It is, or should be, well known that that Nations of both North and South Africa, were the first nations to enslave their own people and are the perpetrator's of the eventual World Slave Market/trade. The Slave Coast is on the shores of African. Today, slavery still abounds in the Nations of Africa. In the world of black slavery, the United States was a "Johnny Come Late." But we were one of the first nations to disabuse ourselves from the scourge of slavery. I find it hard to believe, that Michelle OBAMA has the unmitigated gull to call our country an oppressive nation. She has never faced the pangs of Slavery, the Democrats (Dixiecrat's) oppression and was born after the passage of the Civil Rights Act (for the Second time in our nations history). She, as well as her husband, have received a good education and have enriched themselves beyond most of our citizens and for her, to claim she was oppressed is ludicrous. I wonder, does she have an innate hatred for this country! It seems strange that she would want, having such feelings toward this nation, to become the First Lady of it!
