The USA founders kept children as sex slaves? Details on this?

I'm curious but this video doesn't seem to play in mobile on FF or Chrome

I never watched Hamilton, because I can’t stomach more singing hagiography.

I would watch a remake involving late-18^th^ century Epstein files, though.

Open in browser then. It's a .mp4.

Most of the founding father owned slaves. Raping slaves was not an uncommon practice at the time and there were no restrictions on the appropriate age of the slaves one rapes. Thomas Jefferson may have started his “relationship” with Sally Hemming when she was 14.

I think it would take a decent effort to get clear proof about the founding fathers raping child slaves, but it is known that they owned slaves and many had illegitimate children with slaves and raping child slaves was a common practice at the time so I think it’s a strong possibility.

Another, longer video with a more formal structure and more evidence on screen: NonCompete's The "Founding Fathers" were the Original Epstein Class.

This part is accurate the capitalist part isn't though

It's probably accurate you don't grasp the capitalist part.
