Slavery is worse than murder? I don't know about that. Never mind many of those regimes that were murderous also had slaves in the millions. It's not great, but frankly the fact that not everyone had to go around fearing for their very lives is telling. I did not say that the Confederacy was more brutal then the regimes you cited.
What I said was that it was the worst kind of tyranny, that is, a tyranny that shrouded itself in the cloak of morality.

OK. Do you think Stalin et al, thought it was the moral thing to do to get rid of enemies of the state, permanently?

May I ask, what was the slaver state of DE doing in the Union, apparently the only 1 completely of its own free will? (I know MD does not count, because it was held hostage to protect their capital.) Was Lincoln really interested in slaves? I think as stated elsewhere more interested in "union", if you can call it that when your brothers don't like you.
