it still does not incorporate the loathsome feature of old Dixie slavery alluded to in post #122.
Which feature is that? Remember that the first slaves in the West Indies and in the Colonies were white. Slavery was not inherently racist. For instance, a much greater percentage of free blacks in the South owned slaves than did Southern whites.

Post #122 is not dealing with race at all, it’s dealing with marriage and the fact that in the American system of slavery, property rights were placed above God’s institution of marriage.
