That they had done the right thing. The western world was already turning against slavery. The problems were known and obvious. They were shaking the etch-a-sketch, they had an opportunity. They were willing to risk their lives to get that opportunity. But they chickened out on the big one. That’s the fact.

Yeah, and when France had an opportunity to end the slave trade, they did so by deciding to reduce the country into something only the likes of the Joker from Batman would find loveable, led to a lot of mass death and destruction, many times killing each other for completely pointless reasons outside of quenching bloodlust under that psycho Robespierre and Grignon’s orders, and the “moderates” were barely much better, even with their promotion of universal free rights. And Kant if anything fell in LOVE with that crap. All to push their radical views of equality, which based on your comments on here as of late, you would have deeply loved due to it matching your leftist views.
That would have been even WORSE for America if they went that route instead of keeping Slavery. Given the options, this would have ultimately been the best they could do at the time, unless you WANTED America to become a Jacobin 2.0 as well.
