Delaware governor: Slavery is cool and all but I got a state reputation to uphold

[abcdef]

That answer from the governor of Delaware was epic!

[Briggattonii]

“As the first state to join the Union, Delaware shall be the last to leave it”
The English language can not comprehend how hard that line goes

[matthewdopler]

I have lived in Delaware for most of my life. The division between northern and southern Delaware still exist today. The DuPont company played a major role in Delaware. Many major roads and hospitals here are named after the company and family.

That governor was a W, he put aside his feelings about slavery and put the union first!

[maddie]

DuPont? As in _that_ DuPont?

Dang, that company's been around since forever

[ericherde]

“I hope to have God on my side, but I must have Kentucky.”

[justin]

Not gonna lie, the governor’s response is actually epic. It also shows that alongside the fight to end slavery, there was also the fight to keep our country together.

[_TheGreenCode_]

“As the first state to join the union, Delaware will be the LAST state to leave it.” was the best quote that could have been used in this situation.

[Empro]

Finally when My state is finally mentioned in history

[Pumahz]

That’s the coldest line from a governor ever… except when Arnold said “I’ll be back” 🥶🥶🥶

[pilymonsivais]

Confederacy: wanna secede?

Delaware: Make me 😎

[sebdragonholste]

Yeah, that adds up seeing her Delaware’s only claim to fame is being the first state to join the union that makes sense





That’s a lot of likes. Thank you.

You gotta love someone who loves their country more then their property.

[seanp.]

The DuPonts made their money mainly in producing gun powder from the Revolutionary War onwards through the Civil War. It’s how they got so rich and powerful in such a small state

[SlyFrye]

Well thank you so much Delaware and the very few people that were there at the time. Very few people who are still there today. Thank you so much Delaware!

[fireline]

I love how your uniform is purple with M&Ms for buttons 😂

[idontknowidontcare]

As a Delawarean I support this message

[manugamer]

That governor sure had a deep sense of honour
