The Johns Hopkins News-Letter

A history lesson for politicians and pundits

(02/03/11 5:39pm)

At a January event organized by Iowans for Tax Relief, Tea Party leader Michele Bachmann (R-MN) made an interesting claim about American history. “We know there was slavery that was still tolerated when the nation began. We know that it was an evil, and a scourge, and a blot, and a stain upon our history,” she said, truthfully. But she continued, “But we also know that the very founders who wrote those documents worked tirelessly until slavery was no more in the United States and I think it is high time we recognize the contribution of our forebearers who worked tirelessly; men like John Quincy Adams who would not rest until slavery was extinguished in the country.”
