Southern slavery was the most benign form of slavery in human history, Uncle Tom's Cabin notwithstanding.

The Slavery system was anti-Free Market.

“It should be taught that slavery was once legal in the US until a Republican, namely Abe Lincoln, was elected president and abolished it.”

By the time the United States abolished slavery, Mr. Lincoln had passed away.

I think it is fine to explain the widely held belief that President Lincoln took up arms to violently overthrow constitutional slavery, or as it is often termed, “fought to free the slaves.”

My point is that it was Republicans who abolished slavery yet their descendants seem to have forgotten that fact. Just sayin.
