"1941 - Dec 19, US Attorney General Francis Biddle issued Circular No. 3591 to all federal prosecutors to drop references to peonage and label such files as “Involuntary Servitude and Slavery.” This was in response to Pres. Roosevelt’s fear that mistreatment of blacks would be used in propaganda by Japan and Germany." This and the final prosecution under the peonage statute in 1942 marked the end of slavery in the United States. I dare you to find one in a hundred Americans who know that slavery actually ended in 1942". Most Americans are clueless concerning American history because like in Japan mythology, not history is taught in the schools.
