Now that the American Voter has rejected our First Black President, and his party, in favor of the Redneck Southern Cracker Party of Jesus, let me be the first to reclaim the United States of America under the rules of the Evangelical Tea Party of the New Confederate Slave Nation of the Filthy Rich! Here is Reverend Thomas Rosamond a circuit rider and owner of slaves. Check out these Southern Fried Names. Captain Samuel Rosamond fought in the Revolutionary War, and will his slaves to his family. You can’t get more American than this.  I suspect the black folks listed in the 1880 census above, took the name of their master. One census list “free white” folk because England was selling indentured slaves to America – for profit!

That is James Frances Rosamond in uniform, and at the bedside of his wife. Sara Hodges is my great, great, great grandmother and she owned about ten human beings. She was kidnapped by a Native American as a teen, and was forced to be his bride. How did she treat her slaves>
