I really am beginning to suspect that you have socialist leanings.....
Slavery was LEGAL!
Just because someone didn’t agree with it, like Stevens, that did not give them the right to destroy the social fabric of the South.
It’s a good thing we don’t live in France during the Revolution. You would probably have MY head on a pike!
Nothing in American history is so close to life in Stalin's USSR than the condition of a slave in Dixie. But for some reason fans of the CSA have a hard time giving any consideration to the condition of the slaves. A slave being tied to one location with no freedom is limited government to some minds just as long as MY race has no restraints.
Slavery was LEGAL!
So is abortion and I'm sure you and I agree that that's not good.

The rebs destroyed their social fabric themselves by starting a rebellion and losing. I just wish that Stevens had succeeded. The South would have been saved decades of ignorance and misery.

Different cases. The end of the Civil War saw the well earned destruction of a degenerate civilization led by a worthless nonproductive idle class. Unlike other failed rebellions, no mass hangings resulted. The only cruelty Stevens promised was the chance for the plantation slugs to actually have to sweat and get dirty to earn their daily bread.
Do you think the slaveowning plantation bums were too good to work their own land like the freed slaves and despised white mud sills?
