TEXAS, SLAVERY AND JACKSON

On December 7, bowing to pressure from states' right advocates, President Andrew Jackson considered measures that would allow southern postmasters the right to restrict the mailing and distribution of abolitionist tracts in the southern states. Jackson asked the Congress to consider enacting a law that would prohibit the circulation of anti-slavery literature through the mail.

On December 15, Mexican president Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna announced his intention to establish a unified constitution for Mexico. This decision would mean that the exemption granted to Texas in 1829, which allowed for the continuation of slavery in the region, would now be invalidated. American settlers in Texas who are slaveholders vowed that they would fight a war of secession from Mexico rather than surrender their right to hold slaves in Texas.

The more I look at Andrew Jackson the more I see that he was simply pure human scum.

Pure slavery-loving, slave-beating, backstabbing treasonous human scum.

And Texans are not that much better. They ran a revolution against Mexico so they could retain slavery (which Mexico was about to ban), and then produced one of the most white supremacist documents in their ordinance of secession when they seceded from the Union to join the Confederate States of America.

So who were Alex Jones' Confederate ancestors, what did they do for a living, and is that Confederacy passed down from generation to generation within the Jones family?
