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?
Yet you complain when the Confederacy broke her chains of slavery to the Yankees.

It was in the Constitution, yankees agreed to abide with such.

Why would the South flee from the North???

Lincoln never changed his views on colonization, and wanted a lily-white America.

I would not be pro slavery then, nor am I today. Just some folks (yankees) moan about a legal institution of the time, that THEY agreed would exist. And it's never been a question of how good slaves had anything, it simply refutation of the inane arguments of folks like you, that think every Southerner yearns for the days of slavery, and that all slaves were whipped and beaten. After the war, ex-slave 'Aunt' Charity Andersen WISHED for the old days of slavery, obviously they weren't what you attmept to portray them to be.
