      But she didn't get all of that money.
      A lot of it went to a group called ActBlue (go look it up yourself) and was used to fund sone if the very Democrat politicians and DAs who are successfully destroying the nation now.
      Trust me!
      She got the leftovers (but still should have gone to jail).

      American capitalism was built on the backs of slaves and the slave economy - and not just in the South. Some of these practices are still with us. Historian Calvin Schermerhorn explains how slavery built America without returning virtually any of the gains to the enslaved people - or their descendants.

Let's not forget Blacks slaves worked on the railroads on the side of Chinese and mines for free. Also you had Black communities that were either burned down are taken through Eminent domain. Reparations now! On top of that you had a racist Governor who didn't want any Black's in California so much for a free state into the Union.

    0:40 The problem with his argument is that was most likely EXTREMELY rare.
    Not every slave tried to escape and the few that did most likely made their way up North... You know how dangerous it was for ANYONE making their way out West during those days?
    To connect California with Slavery in that instance is very weak... How many African Americans living in California today were direct desendants of those few who were sent back to the South? I'm going to venture less than 1%.
