>>Slavery was evil. Anyone who supports slavery, or excuses a government which supported or allowed slavery in any way shape or form is human scum.
Depends on how the word slavery is defined and used, who’s doing the enslaving and why, and who’s writing the narrative about it. For example, the government of the the United States of America condoned the institution of slavery for many decades preceding the CW, and four of the first five Presidents owned slaves.
Total falsehood, it was illegal in many states prior to the Civil War.
The South was a white supremacist society, their own speeches confirmed that. Ugly.
