If the South were to "rise again", would you be for or against slavery?

Since I have NEVER, ONCE posted that thought slavery was a moral or just institution....

Since I have NEVER, ONCE posted that I thought slaves SHOULD BE enslaved.....

What exactly is your basis for thinking I consider slavery to be a 'good' thing?

---------

Some people accept and acknowledge the historical, documented fact that slavery was LEGAL when the colonies were formed, LEGAL when the Declaration was written, LEGAL when the Revolution was fought, and LEGAL when the Constitution was signed.

Others, unfortunately, can't get over the concept that the Constitution is a LEGAL document, not a moral one, and I've always thought the only folks who believe in the 'living document' theory of the Constitution were liberals.

I didn't say that you think that. But, since you do appear to leave that question open. I am merely asking, if the South were to "rise again", would you condone slavery?

It seems that it would be simple enough to say, "No" or "Of course not."
