He was born a scant few years before slavery was abolished and only managed to survive because his family, genetic or not historians aren't sure, managed to fight off kidnappers trying to swipe away as many unprotected slaves as possible in the twilight years of the war. If anything, this teaches an even more important lesson: quit allowing your kind to fall for low standards and never, ever fall for the false divide of individualism vs collectivism. You're nothing without both working together.
False divide of individualism vs. collectivism. You need both working together. I quite like that. It reminds me of... I better not say what ideology ;)
Regardless of anything else, this man made more contributions to America as far as agricultural development than possibly anyone else in our history. He is a model to be raised to the highest degree as to what one should be willing to do and who one should strive to be.
Please,
John Deere (1804–1886) invented the steel plow in 1837.
This single act opened up millions upon millions of acres to productive agriculture, making the midwest the breadbasket, not only of America, but of many parts of the world.
Other groundbreaking work that has to be considered is the ability of modern man to produce nitrogen fertilizers, including the Haber process.

True, but without GWC’s work, the plow may have allowed farmers to depreciate the bio mass of the soil in the midwest too quickly, leading to the dust bowl due to negligence with crop selection and rotation. Both tools are very important for long term success and sustainability.
I’ll put value on something you can hold in memory though over something you can hold in your hand any day.
The design of the plow is something you can always take with you. ;)
Thanks for coming back and adding this useful information. :D
Grandpa was a slave 8n the 1930s. Escaped it and fought against communism 2 decades later. If slavery still effects you from over 200 years ago. You might be a fucken loser.
Life is not supposed to be fair. Those who can pull themselves up do, so even in the face of adversity. GWC made his own path in life. Yes, he had more barriers to overcome, but he is the much better person because he never gave up.

Your enemies will always tell you there's less options than there really are.

I love it,
his mother basically "stole" our Founding Father's name.
I guess she didn't think of "Professor".
He chose the name as a nickname as a young adult. He was not born with a middle name. His last name came from his owners.
Same?
Black History Month has failed us.
Ha Ha. One comment I heard about BHM was “I’m sick of hearing about the peanut guy.”
I knew who he was, but not what we looked like.
It did exactly what it was designed to do.

“ Get off of your lazy ass and make something of yourself.” I heard that statement in my dads voice, weird. No better advice has ever been given.
