Col. Israel Putnam of Connecticut. Though in recent years "historians" question if it was said or said by someone else. JMHO another example of the destruction of our shared history by leftist, moonbats without a real job, trying to make people think they are of value without putting any effort into it. If you listen to these clowns long enough, you'll begin to think nobody ever said nutin.
I did not know that quote had come into question recently.Col. Israel Putnam of Connecticut. Though in recent years "historians" question if it was said or said by someone else.

As was the norm during Colonial times
Give it a day and a half and someone will question if you wrote this.
I was attempting a bit of sarcasm- the loonie left hates to address that white males settled the continental US, that they established the nation we are blessed to live in, and that they were the primary ones who laid down their lives defending this nation for the first 180 years (and yes I know there were other troops involved-but their % was quite small)- and yes, they were flawed people as are every other group of people. They certainly made mistakes. Slavery was an abomination and their treatment of the native Americans was terrible. Still, despite their flaws they established what was the greatest and most free nation in the world. Today all the left wants to discuss is the mistakes of the past, demonizing the folks who were actually there and judging them by 21st century standards and morals (or the Lack thereof).
Absolutely! Yet, Jefferson tried to condemn slavery in an early draft of the constitution. By law he could only free his slaves in his will. Washington couldn't even do that with most of "his" slaves. They were property of Marthers 1st husbands' estate. Again, by law dear old George couldn't do anything that would diminish that estate. Slave owners yes, happy about it, not necessarily. "Slavery is like holding a wolf by the ears. You don't like it, but you don't dare let it go" Thomas Jefferson.
