In response to a comment by Republican
Senatorial Candidate Roy Moore who recently said that the last time America was
great was during slavery," Senator James Sanders Jr. stated:
"Has this man lost grasp of his senses. I take personal offense, on behalf of my great, great grandparents who were branded, raped, cut to pieces, burned alive - and those were the kindest things done to them. The only greatness about that time were those individuals, black and white, who gave their lives fighting the American Civil War to put an end to the madness of slavery. Their bodies littered the south in the name of stopping this terrible crime. If this is your idea of how to make America great again, Mr. Moore, I want no part of it. On behalf of my children and their children, and their children's children, we will not go back to slavery, nor do we want to see any other race enslaved."
