Horris Greeley founder New York Tribune, 1872,
Speaking on the 14th amendment citizen.
"We have stricken the shackles from 4,000,000 human beings and brought all labourers to a common level,
but not so much by the elevation of former slaves
as by reducing the whole working population,
white and black, to a condition of serfdom.
While boasting of our noble deeds,
we are careful to conceal the ugly fact
that by our iniquitous money system
we have manipulated a system of oppression which,
though more refined, is no less cruel than
the old system of chattel slavery."
So true

That's really moronic. So it would be better if the blacks remained slaves???
