An American was only as good as his best slave.[1] George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln[2] So, slaves worked on the functions of tedious labor in the farms. Thus, they loved epic fail. Some people did not like slavery, and thought it should be banned.

Slavery[edit | edit source]

Well, it started back then. That's it.

Criticism[edit | edit source]

Some people thought slaves deserved full rights as citizens. They were able to have that opinion since the First Amendment, which you learned about earlier in the course, was not repealed yet.[3] Well, slavery was an immoral sandwich, just like those guys said it was. Slaves were forced to eat large meals, get fat, and watch American Idol. That was sure torture.
