frankly, i think ALL the slaves should have been NEVER taken captive & left in Africa to be AFRICAN.

failing that, slavery should have been outlawed EVERYWHERE sooner, rather than later. slavery was IMMORAL;nobody today defends it, thus "harping on it" is a SIGN that the "harper" is out-of-touch with REALITY.

and YES, i know ALL you DYs & SCALAWAGS would rather forget that the DYs didn't plan to EVER free THEIR slaves, but only to "beat on" the south about southern slaves.

DYs have forever been MEAN-spirited, sanctimonious, HYPOCRYTES & false.

So you believe that the confederacy should have abolished slavery as a part of their moves towards secession.

Then why didn't they?

Slavery was an economic reality. It was not a moral issue between the North and the South any more than was smoking cigars. The lies are in the new order that the WBTS was "about" and "abolished" slavery. Nothing of the sort. Slavery was worldwide at the time. The only difference, If you read, and believe, D'nish D'souza's book "The End of Racism" is that the black slaves that lived in the US at the time were far better off than the majority of the people in the ENTIRE WORLD. Only now do their descendants want to plead reparations and stamp the guilt on the foreheads of the descendants of slave owners.
