Slavery has existed across the great span of history. OMG. Moreover, the Israelite flight from Egyptian bondage was a seminal tale in the many historical tales of peoples take into captivity. OMG. Moreover, the entire swath of Islamic slave trading, long before the British, Dutch and Portuguese made it a business for this fledgling nation, is easily documented. Centuries of it, and grounded in the idiotic Koran itself. OMG. Why is "everybody clueless...?" OMG. Not everybody is.

There is no part of the Louisiana Purchase for the Civil War. The year is 1803. This should not be startling new information.
There’s the U.S. and there’s France. That’s it. It’s 1803.
Either the U.S. inherited slavery from the pre-existing conditions or the U.S. bought the land and then the U.S. introduced slavery on its own. Those are pretty much the only two available options.
