Re: "...to "if nobody has slaves, nobody has dungeons.""

Don't kid yourself for one second. You should never expect the solution of one problem (legal slavery) puts an end to mans depravity and cruelty to his fellow man.

Consider our more enlightened times:

The prostitution industry, here and abroad, where exploitation rivals any Old South crime.

The abortion mills. This country 40-50 million babies, that is in little babies. World wide since it became legal, and even enforced it may be as high as 600 million babies. Luck us to live in such compassionate times.

The illegal immigration racket that often is slavery by another name. And yes here in this country too.

Like I said before slavery is evil but most have no clue why so they do not see the same evil by a different name. You have given a good example of what I mean. But heah the South lost, slavery is gone, problem solved right?

"We did not eradicate all evil for all time" is not a counterargument against eradicating the evil of Southern slavery.
