According to Henry Louis Gates jr. of The Root, Mr. Ellison was NOT a benevolent owner of slaves. He allowed none of them to purchase their freedom. At the time of his death, he owned 900 acres, 63 slaves and was one of the wealthiest men in the South. His family gave aid (both financial and produce) to the Confederates, and when the war broke out, he offered his slaves to the Confederacy for labor or soldiers.
From where I sit, it seems his statue should be removed like the others. By the way, Robert E. Lee never owned slaves, however, U.S. Grant did.
I am probably a good person but I haven't taken the time to fill out my profile, so you'll never know! |
