If the founders had held the line on slavery, millions would have been freed of the scourge of slavery. At least 600,000 wouldn't have died in bloody battle in harsh conditions.

Well, certainly, but that was not the choice. The choice was stick to the principle of no slavery and never form a country or give up on that principle for the time being to establish a United States, free from Britian. They chose the second.

I was referring to WWII with the "millions more lost or enslaved" comment.

There were NO other choices whatsoever? Really?

Even a frigging cook can see some other options.

Try again.

Don't ever expect me to approve of evil. Ever, even temporarily. Or endorse it. Ever. Not slavery, as still exists, or abortion.

Never, ever.
