Murder attends slavery. History has shown that too well to think otherwise. And remember, it was your hero, Taney, who said the "The Negro has no rights that a white man must respect."

And you also forget, among the founding principles, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" rank equally. To enslave a fellow human being is as bad as killing him. If Taney's law is to be believed, killing him was of no consequence in any case - the slave had no rights worth respecting.

Murder attends slavery.

Sin attends sin, and where there is sin, further sin follows because sin is corrupting. The sins themselves are still individual though, thus the effect of murder does and will always constitute a more grievous deprivation than that of slavery.

And you also forget, among the founding principles, "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" rank equally. To enslave a fellow human being is as bad as killing him.

Incorrect. While they are equal as sins, they are not equal in effect. Slavery deprives liberty while murder deprives life. Liberty may be exerted to some degree even under deprivation, and may always be regained. Life, once taken, cannot be regained. Thus murder's effect is ultimate in nature while slavery's is not.
