I tend(repeat tend) to agree. The anti slavery crowd was the beginning of today’s MOB. one view of the American Civil War being the destruction, by the mob, of the closest America ever came to developing a nobility. The Civil War was egalitarianism run amok. That is one view of a complex series of events leading from the founding to the attempted rupture.
“The anti slavery crowd was the beginning of today’s MOB. one view of the American Civil War being the destruction, by the mob, of the closest America ever came to developing a nobility”
In that one sentence, people working to stop slavery were a mob. And the mob destroyed a budding American “nobility”, and that’s bad. And the nobility had a right to enslave people as they saw fit?
Yes, I suppose that is “one view”.
Im very pleased that we do not have a nobility per se. And I wish we would have never imported a single slave.
