“ Your argument applies perfectly well to slavery. A slave cannot be free if he cannot overcome a superior force holding him in bondage”

And so.

How were the slaves eventually freed?

Aren't you going to answer my point first? Do you believe that people have a right to hold others in subjugation simply because they have the power and might to do so? Or do you believe in natural rights?

And the slaves were eventually freed because the US government gathered together a massive army to destroy the South, not because of slavery, but because it refused to keep allowing DC to control it's money and finances, and as an afterthought, they abolished slavery so as to hide the real reason why they invaded and killed people.
