Jeffersondem: "I have been very outspoken in denouncing slavers on this site. Recently I took on the notorious slaver Elihu Yale. "

Oh, sure, you're fearless, a real tiger when it comes to condemning Brits from the 1600s, when slavery was lawful everywhere.
But somehow you have nothing to say about slavers in, say, 1860, decades after both Brits and US Northerners had outlawed the practice.

Why is that?

“But somehow you have nothing to say about slavers in, say, 1860, decades after both Brits and US Northerners had outlawed the practice.”

Then I criticize President Lincoln for admitting a slave state to the union while he and the north were sending men to their deaths to, we are now told, “free the slaves.”

I never understood why he and northern politicians did that unless it was some sort of insincere political shenanigan.
