1 2 ReplyOkay, on the chance you're not American, the American Civil War, and slavery.

1 2 ReplyIf you're going to post so many comments, at least read the chain. Otherwise someone might mistake you for a troll.
3 0 ReplyI mean I am the chain, I’m asking you what the fuck you’re talking about and you’re really bad at having clear ideas
1 2 ReplyOh, perfect recall then? In that case you know exactly where in your line of 5 year old style questioning that slavery was mentioned.
