      Not fear, civility; a number of rebellions were an attempt to exert rights according to the constitution.

    6:42 shows possibly my family name there. Simkins, now Simpkins. My great grandfather was Albert Simpkins from South Carolina, relocated to Millen, Jenkins County, GA. On his side of the family he is the dead end in the Census records available online. I’m researching lately just to have this info while my elders are still around to confirm certain info.

    WOW! I have never seen anything like the slave owners record book. It's amazing how people recorded their inhumanity to man. Think about this. My great grand mother was alive during slavery. I knew my great grandmother and thinking that this person whom I grew up with as a kid and knowing that she herself had to grow up in a society that permitted slave ownership shows that slavery isn't in our distant past. Emancipation is only a little over 150 tears old. Slavery in America went on for hundreds of years prior. Emancipation is relatively new while the enslavement of others goes back all through out history. So humans seem to have "natural" instinct to want to enslave others. This is important to understand especially in this day and age. When we hear the MAGA (Make America Great Again) crowd say that they just want to make America great again what they really are saying is they want America back to pre-civil rights time and many would like to see it pre civil war time. If you think this couldn't happen then you would be grossly mistaken and there would be a good chance that I could own you in the future. Why do I say that? Look at what the U.S. Supreme Court did recently with Roe v Wade. For 50 years women had rights to their own bodies now those rights are gone. Emancipation is only a little over 150 years old. What's to stop the U.S. Supreme Court from reversing that decision? Nothing. In fact this court is working in that direction. They took a women's right to her own body why wouldn't they end the right to colored people to be free? The MAGA party is clearly heading that way. The U.S. Supreme Court is stacked with MAGA justices and they will chip at our rights until they come to the question on slavery and then the justices will look back at the other rights they took away and it will be easier for them to justify in ending emancipation. Ask a MAGA republican "when was America great?"

    My grandparents and great grandparents were born in Charleston , South Carolina. They may have had an original name; but since they had been on the Middleton plantation that was the name they used. I still have distant cousins who use it as their last name. My great grandmother was Mary Alice Middleton before she married.
