Big difference between borrowing and giving away.
It wasn't borrowed. It was labor required to be produced on demand. Without compensation to the owner
Hmmmm. . . similar tactics used by the U.S. during WWI, WWII, etc. Suppose the U.S. government was wrong there.
Hmmmm. Hardly. The difference was that the produce was paid for and the private ship owners were compensated for carrying the cargo during WWII. The confederacy demanded the space without compensation and took the crops.

“It wasn’t borrowed. It was labor required to be produced on demand. Without compensation to the owner”
But the slaves were returned, which is the whole point. But you knew that.
“Hmmmm. Hardly. The difference was that the produce was paid for and the private ship owners were compensated for carrying the cargo during WWII. The confederacy demanded the space without compensation and took the crops.”
And ultimately the same thing. Taxes can be imposed in many ways. Welcome to the facts of life.
