“Just that the law there permitted it in some cases, for those rich enough to purchase slaves.”
Just more liberal propaganda on your part, leaving out the North in the slave trades, not to mention they started slavery in the colonies in the first place.
Why do you hate the South so much? I know liberals claim they are all just beer drinking ignorant inbred rednecks, which is nothing but bigotry, but what caused you to hate them so much that you would lie as you do and carry on this liberal bullshit?
No, I don’t hate southerners. Perhaps as a southerner you feel entitled to tell me who I must or must not hate. You don’t have that authority either.
Someone just posted how the first slave owner was a black man, one Antony Johnson who used 1654 Virginia courts to extend the term of service of John Casor, another black man to life long by a Virginia judge. It was later made law in 1661 by the Virginia state legislature.
After his death, Antony Johnson, the slave owner had most of his land stolen by a white planter using a Virginia court, asserting that as a black man Johnson could not own land.
In that story, you find no Yankees, just people in Virginia taking advantage of others using corrupt judges. I hate corrupt judges, don’t you?
Having just finished a beer, I would perhaps think that beer drinking rednecks would be my good friends. When I threw my barbeque parties in Texas, I invited people to bring their barbeque guns. We all got along together fine.
Although slaves were coerced by yankee slave traders in the slave trade, southern plantation owners were not. At any time any state had the right to change the domestic institution of slavery. Northern states abolished slavery before the Civil war. Southern states didn’t. That is the difference.
One can condemn northern states for not ending slavery earlier. One can condemn southern states for not ending slavery earlier. in that way they are similar.
Slave importers killed perhaps a third of their ‘cargo’ on the way. Prices for slaves in Africa were low, in the US and other slave countries were high, and that economic decision mattered more than simple humanity. In that way the slave importers were worse than the slave drivers.
The slave trade was banned by the US, using its constitutional authority as of 1808 and US Navy sent forces to assist the British patrol seeking to end the slave trade. That was a good thing. The slave traders didn’t start a war to extend their right to trade slaves. In that way the Yankee slave traders were better than the various slave drivers.
