I guess waiting another 40 or 50 years might be poor consolation when someone owns you and your family.

Spending that 40 or 50 years as a sharecropper rather than as a slave didn't turn out to have been much of an improvement.

I suppose not but I thought we were discussing slavery. Would any of those sharecroppers rather have been slaves? I don't think so but I suppose someone posting here will try and make that case too.
