But not all were in chains, or had a terrible life. Heck, lots of whites had a terrible life, I had ancestors that were indentured servants - little more than slaves themselves. Many slaves earned money, some donating it to the Confederate government, and others fought for the Confederacy. I will not begin to denigrate their service as is the manner of some - regardless of the reason they fought, they fought for what they believed. And in the rose-colored glasses worn by many, it obviously was something other than slavery.

You guys always try to say that slavery is no big deal. Will you volunteer to be my slave to prove it?

Sure, if I get to drive around the race track.
