quote [ Gerald Horne interviewed by Wilmer Leon on Inside The Issues on June 18, 2022, discussing the real and complete history behind Juneteenth, Texas and the Counter Revolution of 1836. ]
I love how every time I dig into the mythology of the creation or major events of the United States, it leads back to rich white people trying to sidestep the abolition of slavery. Really makes a guy feel patriotic.
Oh, also, y'all ever heard of Linconia? Despite schools ignoring it, many of us managed to learn that Lincoln's priority wasn't really freeing slaves, but rather keeping the union together. But even I had no idea, until the last few years, that the most popular version of abolishing slavery was to expel black people from the US.

Till date, the most extraordinary of these eliminations occurred in a family of tiny insects?the Rocky Mountain locusts which became in 1902 the only agricultural pests to face complete extinction. ]
