Overcome evil together

   The Underground Railroad could not have succeeded without the close association, and gut-level courage and conviction, of both White and Black to assist those wanting the freedom to breathe free air!
   We must be reminded of our true history, we must look back at heroes of the past and reflect on their words, such as these of Frederick Douglass. Mr. Douglass was born into slavery, taught himself to read after his 'master's' wife had begun to teach him, and escaped as a young man to freedom.

     "I base my sense of the certain overthrow of slavery, in part, upon the nature of the American Government, the Constitution, the tendencies of the age, and the character of the American people; and this, notwithstanding the important decision of Judge Taney. I know of no soil better adapted to the growth of reform than American soil. I know of no country where the conditions for affecting great changes in the settled order of things, for the development of right ideas of liberty and humanity, are more favorable than here in these United States.

The very groundwork of this government is a good repository of Christian civilization. The Constitution, as well as the Declaration of Independence, and the sentiments of the founders of the Republic, give us a platform broad enough, and strong enough, to support the most comprehensive plans for the freedom and elevation of all the people of this country, without regard to color, class, or clime."

Speech on the Dred Scott Decision
Frederick Douglass
May 1857

   Please note what Mr. Douglass says here...he gives credit for his hope of a unified America to the foundation of a Christian civilization. Jesus Christ is the one and only original source of civilization.

   He also gives credit to the American government, the Constitution.....and to the American people; the majority of the American people recoiled at the thought of slavery, and Harriet Beecher Stowe's ''Uncle Tom's Cabin'', and  Mr. Douglass' ''My Bondage and My Freedom'', and many other abolitionist's publications, informed the people of the United States of America of the true plight of the enslaved, and the American people rose up, and enabled President Abraham Lincoln to free the enslaved through a very bloody war and the Emancipation Proclamation, Truly, it was a minority of people who sucked the life out of others for the purpose of free labor on their large farms.

   We must tell these stories, and we must truthfully teach our children the history of these Blessed United States, and shut down the 'politically correct' and the divisive self-serving, self-promoters who have their agendas in mind only for the purpose of their own gain at the expense of any and all who are unfortunately in their way.

   God Bless America, and thank God for this nation of freedom!
