Nearly every civilization in human history has had slavery. You just worship weakness and think its somehow wrong to use power.

Nothing to do then with the founding fathers' commitment to liberty and the rights of man, then?

The evil of slavery was not the keeping of men in bondage, which is quite acceptable, but of introducing the negro race to this nation. And as our Founding Fathers observed, especially anti-slavery slave-owner Thomas Jefferson, a nation cannot function with two races, both free.
All of this would be lost on you, a deracinated self-flagellating white who thinks the highest good is transferring the resources and power of your own race to other ones. Pathetic.

Nothing to do with the likely collapse of south's economy with the abolition of slavery, then... The effect of which probably could be likened in today's terms with the closing down of the IT industry in the US.

That'd be sharing of resources and power...
That'd be lost on you, you twisted old bugger. Pathetic.
