Whoa now! In the interest of fairness, if your going to substitute "Land of the Whip and the Lash" for 'The South', then you should replace "the North" with something comparable, such as 'the Land of The Mutilated Immigrant Child Laborer' or 'the Land of The Bayonet-spitted Native Infant'.
The Land of the Big City Orphan and those consequences you rightly reference to were different than the Land of the Whip and the Lash now weren’t they?
Those social costs were not an INTEGRAL part of the economic life in the North but unintended consequences.
Slavery, ON THE OTHER HAND, was BASED upon the use of the whip and the lash. It could not exist without them because they were vital instruments in taking away human freedom.
Must’nt think about the Cherokee now should you?
