Well, look at muslims, they may be the original slavers and they, as a group, seem to be stuck in a self destructive Karma Police mode for a thousand years. Black African Royalty promoted and supplied “other tribes” to the Dutch for export. How well has that culture done?

Hate to burst your misconception bubble, but the “Civil War” was not to free the slaves, rather to maintain Northern economic and political domination on the rural agrarian South, who just happened to be where Northern owned plantations held this so called free labor.

You don’t burst my bubble, I am a southerner and don’t want to get into yet another threadjack on that topic, but whatever the reason for the war, in the end, an ocean of white blood was shed and the slaves were freed as one result. Old Abe had something in commone with the present _resident-he moved the goalposts as it suited his agenda.

And my state, believe it or not, considering its present position-was, pre-war, the richest state in the union. The North wasn’t letting all that loot escape, whatever form it was in.
