Robert Carter the 3rd, set free 400-500 slaves and rehired them as workers and educated them, despite his family, neighbours and the government trying to stop him

What a G, had the balls to do what is right that the founding fathers should have had. Grant did the same thing but it was only with one slave that he inherited through marriage.

Breaking news: something from 1791.

It was all good until the part where he "educated" them, i.e. tried to enculturate them with white supremacist values instead of acknowledging that slaves have ways of knowing that lie outside the limited perspective of white society.

So this virgin named Mary was visited by an angel one day and he said she'd give birth to the son of God, which is pretty wild right? But she accepts like it's no big deal. She's engaged to this guy named Joseph at the time. Then they go traveling to Bethlehem while she could pop any day 'cause of some census thing. No room at the inn when it's go time, so she ends up in a barn having this holy baby. Some shepherds see angels and go check out the kid in the manger. Next some magi roll in sometime later with weird gifts for the baby they followed a star to. Then king Herod freaks out trying to kill the child so Mary and Joseph have to skip town and hide out for a bit before coming back to raise Jesus up. And that's how it happened! Angels and stars just popping up announcing this miracle birth like it's any normal day. Crazy stuff man.
