Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation conceived in Liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal. Abraham Lincoln was not yet born when the United States was foundered. President Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address approximately 87 years after the birth of America. Yet, he knew the history of this Nation. How could any man make the opening statements as made in the Gettysburg Address while knowing the history of America and the 100 years prior to 1776? Slave trade took place in Europe far before 1776. Killing black people became a white tradition. Blacks were not considered human beings. Millions of black people became feed for sharks. They were treated worse than dogs. White people in America saw the opportunity to cash in on free labor. The south is less industrialized than the north had far more use for human laborers. Blacks were considered property. When you own property, you could do anything you want to it. Thousands of black people died while being shipped by means such as the Transatlantic Slave Network. Selling and buying blacks was a big and profitable business. White slave owners were getting rich using free labor. How could Lincoln ever think he could reverse a movement that was making the white man millions of dollars?
