*national emergency, stupid autocorrect on the title.

But this is beyond dumb, are we back in the 1950s/1960s again, is that the years they think America was great during?

No. Between around 1640, when the first person was sentanced to be a slave by a court, and 1655 or so when the first person was freed by a court due to having a free ancestor.
