except for the fact, that without slavery there would of been no economic incentive to keep defeated tribe members alive. So every descendant of slaves today owes their entire family lines life to the practice. Now they just slaughter them, is that really better?
Most of the wars were specifically to capture slaves
Also, texasfreeper, the USA was specifically founded as a new country, with equality for all. So slavery was hypocritical.
A sophistucated, high minded society like the usa is necessarily held to a HIGHER standard than a primitive, barbaric society.
The USA is the shining light on the hill and will be held yo a higher standard than say the Russian federation
