“If that’s the case, how can you support the unconstitutional federal intrusion into legal Southern labor practices?”
Perhaps, if the South could have developed an economic model that would have been more profitable they could have maintained their confederacy and for 150 more years.
However, it was the weakness of their economic model that failed and lead to their trouncing by the Union Army.
And while slavery was horrific, we can at least find some humor in the South’s economic system.
We can laugh as the Confederacy developed and maintained an economic model dependent on Free Labor and still failed.
Even the USSR could maintain an economy based on Communism for more than 70 years.
The Confederacy, using Free Labor, only lasted four years!
Post #847 is a complete and total dodge of the constitutional question. Your reply is very similar to the liberal response to abortion in the context of 'viability of the fetus'.
And while slavery was horrific, we can at least find some humor in the South’s economic system.
What's humorous is your lilliputian knowledge of this subject. The South's economy was precisely why the north was determined to keep us in the union at all costs because, without the South, the north is sinking quicker than your argument.
The Confederacy, using Free Labor, only lasted four years!
You seem to be omitting that the entire 4 years was spent trying to repel an invading foreign army. But of course, one can only expect this from those of you that are stuck on revisionism.
