the abolition of slavery was central to this war

Oh, aye. It most certainly was.

That is not what we were discussing. Strawman.

No one honestly believes that slavery is/was more likely in Peru than Brazil because it is further south.

There are just as many good people(per capita) In South Dakota as North.

The willingness to enslave is not determined by something so ludicrous as a compass point.

But, where you do have slavery you tend to have a culture that justifies it. Bizarrely in the American South, even 150 years later. That culture is fairly open to criticism, even though human nature indeed is pretty much universal.
