James Polk owned 25 slaves. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_presidents_of_the_United_States_who_owned_slaves

@@Lifeinlivingcolors Owning one human being is insane and too many but owning 25.

[@Lifeinlivingcolors]

@@bilialeilan9038 it is absolutely morally wrong to enslave fellow human beings. You were also factually wrong in your original post about how many slaves Polk owned.

Thank you. We never knew. And of course that is supposed to negate anything else he did in life historically right.
