Southern slave holders understood that, even with suffrage limited to propertied white men, a democratic government might, as Patrick Henry put it, impose a “grievous and enormous tax” to “compel owners to emancipate their slaves.” So, in drafting the Constitution, they undermined both the representativeness of electoral institutions and the capacity of the federal revenue system. For one, slaveholders demanded a limit on the tax applied to the slave trade, the Constitution’s only provision setting a maximum federal tax level. The Constitution also enshrined the “three-fifths clause,” which infamously inflated Southern representation but also sharply limited the federal government’s power to apply direct taxes, since it required that that “direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States” according to the same ratio. (This limitation, it is worth noting, would be used by the Supreme Court to strike down the federal income tax in the late 19th century and today is being revived by conservatives, who argue it rules out the possibility of a federal wealth tax).
Our book club is reading #UncleTomsCabin so history of slaveholders’ fight w taxation offers lessons on power of taxation to undermine representation!
“Slaveholders also ensured that there was no effective bureaucracy for tax assessment”

Happy Juneteenth everyone! What I'm reading this week. It is a bit dated in its stereotyping, but had been on my American Canon TBR list for some time - so I thought I'd make up my own mind. First impressions... no less heart-wrenching after 172 years. #booksky #juneteenth #UncleTomsCabin #blacksky

A sculpture after an 1869 design by Louis Samain was installed in 1895 on Avenue Louise in Brussels. The scene—a runaway black slave and child attacked by dogs—was inspired by Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Few books have ever carried such immense power. Stowe’s novel challenged a system, awakened a conscience, and changed history.

I fully understood the horrors of slavery and the Shoah (for high schoolers) by reading #UncleTomsCabin, #DiaryofAnneFrank and #DevilsArithmetic, and having engaging conversations. No flags necessary. Of course, I loved to read so I probably would have read them anyway. But still... my point stands.
