"DeSantis’ students speak out about ‘hostile’ behavior towards Black people, partying and inaccurate lessons and his lies about the causes of the Civil War. Granted that his illiterate family did not arrive in the United States until 1917.

The right of property in slaves was protected by law. This property was recognized in the Constitution, and provision was made against its loss by the escape of the slave…

A persistent and organized system of hostile measures against the rights of the owners of slaves in the Southern States was inaugurated…the constitutional provision for their rendition to their owners was first evaded, then openly denounced as a violation of conscientious obligation and religious duty…owners of slaves (seeking to recapture escapees in the North) were mobbed and even murdered…laws were passed providing for the punishment, by ruinous fines and long-continued imprisonment in jails and penitentiaries, of citizens of the Southern States who should dare ask aid of the officers of the law for the recovery of their property.

Davis went on to say that Northern anti-slavery policies, by “rendering the property in slaves so insecure as to be comparatively worthless,” would cost the South billions of dollars."
