Some of them just outright ignore the question and some twist themselves in knots with incoherent answers that in the end go no where.

The other one is whether, with all this talk of inalienable rights and an absolute right to freedom from oppression, slaves had a legal and moral right to rise up against the slaveowners. Most ignore the question. My favorite was one lost causer who said, yes, they had the right to rebel, but only as long as nobody got hurt.
