Can you provide a link or proof of your post? I doubt some of your facts but it's been a long time since I read some of the political history on slavery.

Give me some time (busy day) and I will go back through my list of FR threads that reference this material.
The ones that I got the info from are well documented.
The info stuck in my mind since it is just about opposite of what I was taught as "facts".
Note: the info is available from a variety of sources,
but the FR threads do a good job of summerizing and debating the issues.
Anything in particular that you have a question about?
