Related: About this forum'Who Would Do That?': Rumsfeld Made 'Mount Misery' Getaway Home - Rachel Maddow - MSNBC
Rachel Maddow revisits the story of Frederick Douglass being sent by his slave owner to a "slave breaker" to be made docile and have his will broken. The location of the horrific torture that entailed was a plantation called "Mount Misery" and at least one person was untroubled enough by its history to purchase it as a country home. Aired on 06/30/2021.

Leave the ruins and build a monument celebrating American achievement.
Once a year have a flag burning. A confederate flag burning.

has already announced that they will be installing a concrete slab covering the grave and for 12 feet around his grave.
They feel there is no chance for any grass growing anywhere near his grave in the future.
Same goes for any/all of his CABAL when they are buried..........

I had no idea about the tie in between Frederick Douglas' torturer and Rumsfeld.
Thanks for the thread Rhiannon.
