Exactly correct. Abolitionism as it existed among the lunatics of New England was the movement which had coopted and rejected the basic thesis of the colonization movement, which had been popular even in the South. The New England radicals didn't simply want slavery abolished as it had been done in the British colonies, they wanted it accomplished by means of slave uprisings and the slaughter of all white people living in the states where slavery was legal, regardless of whether they owned slaves themselves or not. They were also adamantly opposed to returning Africans to Africa, even those who had recently been smuggled in here in defiance of the law.
These same lunatics wanted capitalism destroyed at a stroke. They were never a majority as you observed.
That's a very heavy charge, 'Dees. You're asserting that the Yankee abolitionists essentially wanted emancipation of the black slaves so that they could murder white Southerners ... that they were advocating genocide at one remove. Wow. I've never seen that one before.
It's worth noting that a lot of abolitionists came out of New England seminaries -- but this would be the ultimate in hellfire-and-damnation from the New England pulpit. What, exactly, did the Southerners do that pissed these people off so royally?
Is there a quote anywhere, about that genocidal rage you attribute to them, where we can read the lethal wish in the original? Or have you read someone who attributed that motive to them?
