Sorry, but all Google shows me is that Marx supported abolitionism, not that the abolitionists were fans of Marx. And I've been on enough Google snipe hunts trying to find evidence of yet another lost causer assertion to waste more time on it. You got proof? Post it.
And judging from the rest of your post, I take it that you believe women shouldn't be allowed to vote and that people opposed to slavery should have kept their mouths shut.
It may take some days before I can locate those links, but I will. I wonder if you’re parsing words. Whatever. I wasn’t trying to send you off on a wild goose chase.
You think that feminism is a good thing? lol Actually, I think that only landowners & business owners should be allowed to vote (& our military, of course).
I think that, at that time, there were people who were just looking to undermine the social order. Just like now. If you look at the facts regarding what happened when Black people were freed &/or went north, it’s clear that the abolitionists weren’t their “benefactors” at all. To the contrary. Slaves had their needs provided for. Afterwards, they were really exploited- totally on their own & unprepared. They didn’t fare well, for the most part.
Not all, or even most, slave owners were rotten b*st*rds.
That said, I don’t “support” slavery, but it had been in practice for hundreds- even more than a thousand years. It wasn’t confined to Blacks. My father’s American ancestors were indentured Irish.
With mechanization, it was coming to an end anyway.
Slavery continues to this day- in Africa & elsewhere. Where is the outrage for that, I wonder? And why is it only such an issue for America, when it was widespread?
