Nobody is arguing for slavery, just the reason for its abolition. I see the same manipulations of good people who argue for open borders and those of our elites who see open borders as nothing more than a means to keep people down while make billions of dollars for themselves. Those at the top typically do not care about human lives at all. For them it’s merely a means to stay on top of everybody else.

Or in plain language-enumeration.
BTW, The Queen had to dance a very thin line over the issue. Personally, she did not like the south for it cause, which was the continuation of slavery.
But, they (UK) wanted cotton, and as a result of the ignorance of the southern aristocrats, they sped up their demise by causing that war since the UK started their own cotton plantations across the globe.
Democrats are like that. Greedy, selfish, stupid and immoral.
You want to REALLY watch a very good movie about that time? A REALLY good one?
Get the “Free State of Jones” and watch it.
It will explain a lot both pro and con per your discussion.
A basically factual movie.
Aristotle isn't a nobody.

After LS’s suggestions, if you want to read a two volume study of the “ROAD TO DISUNION” I suggest Freehling’s book(s) of the same name volume 1 & 2. He relies heavily on original sources so you can read quotes and articles from the pre war era.
