The conclusion is that “outsourcing” jobs to the South that could be done cheaper there did not damage the North’s economy

So you support slave labor? Maybe we could do some deals with the Sudan. That way you could get your DVD player for $19.99 instead of $49.99. I think what we really need is to find some place where people are worked to death in concentration camps. That way we don't even have to pay for their food. When they die, we can burn them as fuel for the factory and replace them with fresh surplus population. If we can find a similar arrangement for raw material mining operations, we might be able to break the $10 price barrier for that DVD player

the North’s prosperity and Industry breed by freedom left it able to field an army large enough to invade and crush the South after it rebelled.

The North had a manufacturing economy, that is where its strength on the battlefield came from. The "outsourced" jobs were agricultural, mostly related to cotton production. If the North's economy was made strong by outsourcing to the South's slave economy, how is it that is was "bred by freedom". Slavery is Freedom. Now there's a logical procession you don't see everyday, 'cept maybe in books about evil times.

"So you support slave labor? "

I made the mistake of reading just this one sentence from you. I told you that I don’t read your out of control emotional driven nonsense. Now you’re just being a pest. Write to “all”. Don’t bother putting my name in the address field.

The day I lose the discipline to ignore people proven to post nothing but bitter nonsense, like I ignore CNN on my dial, is that day I stop reading FR.
