Thomas Jefferson and Geo. Washington owned slaves so your argument is absurd. I’m afraid you are the one ignoring history. If slavery had been a big part of the northern economy it would not have been abolished. The North got upset about slavery only because it did not play a role in their economy.
Please, I don’t call other’s thinking epithets. I’m just telling what I know about certain facts. Certainly we can discuss this without name calling, too.
You might take a look at my post #82, as part of it describes the fate of New England’s Indians at the hands of those damned yankees.
