The Northern states benefitted indirectly from slavery just as your family members benefitted from your Father's car. The difference is the people in the North who built vast fortunes for themselves and their progeny trading in the commodities of slavery got to keep theirs.

And this is the truth. All the Slave money earned in the Northern states was allowed to remain in their hands instead of being confiscated to buy the freedom of Slaves. Indeed, Northerners traveled to the South to sell their slaves before the Deadlines for Abolition in the Northern states caught them.

Just as Apple uses virtual slave labor to build it's products, so too are modern Liberals perfectly content with profiting from the fruits of their labor so long as they are personally disassociated from the messy business of running a slave production line.

They can keep their profits and their moral superiority at the same time!

You do realize that whatever device you're writing this on was made on one of those same Chinese production lines, right?
