Then choose death. To recognize the truth does not create a sarcastic moment. It is what it is. Obviously, many people have chosen life over death and accepted a slaves life. If this did not occur then there would have been no institution of slavery. The logic is cold and hard. Deal with it.

So we should accept wrong, because it's always been done that way.... Got it.

The logic that the end of slavery in the US came because the Confederacy got its ass kicked is also cold and hard. Deal with it.

You determine right or wrong. As I pointed out the institution of slavery has been with us from time immorial. I am not the originator or defender of the institution, but do recognize it as a compassionate alternative to slaughtering the entire village. (I know many here find that heresy, but it is a true fact) There were many cultures that were organized around slavery. Some like the Aztecs, needed human sacrifice, and lots of it. Romans/Greeks/Arabs/Cartheginians (et al) needed cheap labor. Vikings, Celts, like their African tribal equals would war for the sole purpose of capturing slaves for commerce. This is all true, my point is simply that at some point in time some conquering band decided to take captives instead of slaughtering the entire village (men, women and children), and this was compassion.
