Your choice, which would you pick. Being free man in your own country, or someone’s property in a foreign land. Your choice, raise you children in your country or have the “owner” in a foreign country sell them at his pleasure.
Explain to me the “advantage” of being a slave on a cotton plantation in Mississippi vs being a free person in your own country.
Bull,
You miss the mark.
The point wasn’t which was better free man in one’s country vs. Slave in a foreign land.... really? Let’s not be daft.
The point was now/ since they are here(perhaps I need to remind you that they have been free for multiple generations and are still here) how much better are their lives, compared to being those back in the original country?
The ways in which this country provides opportunities is unmatched on the rest of the planet.
That’s the short and simple.
