kool aid drinkers of the world unite! Numerous southern slaves earned monies and purchased their freedom, and the freedom of other slaves. Slaves were provided homes, clothes, food, medicine, attended churches etc. Lincoln wanted a lily-white America.
And what about the vast majority that didn't?
Slaves were provided homes, clothes, food, medicine, attended churches etc.
And on not uncommon occurances, entirely new homes when they were sold from one master to another. You forgot that little fringe benefit of the institution.
Lincoln wanted a lily-white America.
While southerners like Jefferson Davis were perfectly happy with an integrated America, so long as the black part were in their proper place, as property. With title to them safely in Davis' pocket. If there wasn't to be slavery then Davis wanted all blacks out of the country.
They were!
My, what a wonderful existance!
Is that why you had to have laws passed to track down runaway slaves?
I mean who would want to leave the kindly master with his right to beat you or sell your family away from you!
Lincoln had you guys down to a tee.
He said, these pro-slavers (and ofcourse you will protest that you are not for slavery-no one is today-after the North ended it), are always talking about how good the slaves have it,but none want to become slaves themselves!
Funny how that is now isn't it?
