“And slavery was abolished without a war in my state. “
Actually, your State didn’t actually abolish slavery, it prohibited some of it, but you sure as Hell didn’t free any slaves. Way to half-ass the issue, as usual with your State.
“In 1777, Vermont, not yet a state, became the first jurisdiction in North America to prohibit slavery: slaves were not directly freed, but masters were required to remove slaves from Vermont. “
Except I live in Mass. I went college in Vermont. A long time ago.
Why can’t you agree with the statement that slavery should have been abolished?
