If your saying economy=slavery then I agree with you. From what Ive read slaves were worth upwards of 2-3 billion dollars in 1860. So it is understandable why the slavocracy revolted at even the possibility of a threat to their peculiar institution. I maybe could even muster a little bit of sympathy for them, if it wasnt slavery.
Its a shame the founders couldnt have definitively dealt with slavery when the constitution was written. However, from what Ive read of the constitutional convention we would have lost Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina if the hardline anti-slavery founders had pushed the issue. And the founders were more concerned about a fractured America fighting amongst itself or being influenced or taken over by foreign powers. So they kicked the can down the road.
Why not shame and blame slavery on Moses instead?
In that way you could diminish all of Judeo-Christian history. The left has been trending that direction for some time you know.
