how many of marxistsoccer's ancestors do you think fought for the confederacy?
to the person who just voted "none": you are wrong
not going to put a poll for how many of marxistsoccer's ancestors owned slaves; just going to share these excerpts from the registration form for the noblit-lytle house and prominent white tennessee "farmer" thomas hughes noblit.
“Beginning in the late 1840s, Noblit began to become more involved in the local community and by the 1850s he had risen to the level of a community leader and law officer. In March 1848, he was elected as a Justice of the Peace representing the 4th district.
He was sworn in at the county courthouse in June 1848.

Justices of the Peace heard civil cases of common law involving less than $1,000 and equity involving less than $50. They also decided misdemeanor cases if the fine was less than $50.
The bulk of a justice's responsibilities centered around issuing warrants and subpoenas for all courts including civil and criminal court warrants.
As a JP, Noblit also executed estates, proved deeds and sales of slaves or other personal property, built and controlled roads and bridges, performed marriages, and administer oaths.”

“It is unknown if William Noblit ever owned slaves.
Thomas H. Noblit owned slaves, however, the exact number is unknown. Thomas Noblit purchased two slaves for $1,100 from Gordon Jackson at Pulaski on August 11, 1853.
County records show that he purchased ‘Mary a black woman supposed to be 23 or 24 years old and her son Billy a yellow boy age about 2 years; which negroes are warrant sound and healthy, both in body and mind and slaves for life’ (Noblit Family Papers).
Slaves would have assisted with production of cash crops, primarily cotton. A Tennessee farm with 1 to 3 slaves would typically produce four or five 500 Ib bales of cotton per year.

According to family descendants, the Noblit Cemetery contains several unmarked slave burials.
And, after the Civil War an African-American named Shorty Appleton worked at the neighboring Newton farm; family descendants speculate that Appleton may have been a former slave at the Noblit farm.”
check the fucking scare quotes in this passage discussing how thomas h. noblit's father, william noblit, was one of the first whites to occupy giles county—even though *COLONIAL* laws made the area Chickasaw reservation land. if they were so scared…why didn't they fucking LEAVE?
on the eve of the u.s. civil war, the stolen land, labor, and *people* thomas noblit owned were valued at what would now be about $370,000.
did you know that giles county, tennessee, where marxistsoccer's slaveowning ancestors the noblits have lived for centuries, was the birthplace of the ku klux klan? isn't that something.
anyway good thing marxistsoccer is now a marxist and definitely doesn't advance right-wing talking points. he gets it now bc he played soccer with pee oh cees growing up. it's all in the past. ancient history that has nothing to do with the present 😊
Bold!
lmfao. man of the people!
Anyway, tailism is reactionary & all whites are white supremacist.
