just out of curiosity, how do you feel about the NORTHERN slave-OWNERS & the MANY northerners (including numerous "leaders of the abolitionist movement"!!!) who were invested IN slavery from it's first days until its end???

I'm sure there were a handful of unscrupulous Northerners who were happy to make money off of owning human flesh.

But, whatever the faults of the antebellum North, its economy wasn't based on slavery.

fwiw, there were THOUSANDS of northerners, who were up to their ears IN "the slave trade" right up to the last day that it was lawful in the USA.(in point of fact, the PERCENTAGE of northern & southern slavers was about the SAME. = about 6 percent of the populus.)

what was different about northern & southern slavers was the SELF-righteous HYPOCRASY of the northern slavers.

also, pardon me, but you dodged the question that i asked in #791. (hint: MANY of the northern elite's fortunes were based upon buying, selling, shipping,renting, leasing & EXPORTING slaves to other countries AFTER slavery was outlawed in the USA.= it was a classic case of, "Do as i say, not as i DO".)

DAMNyankee ELITISTS have always been sanctimonious HYPOCRITES. it is their NATURE.
