The thread talks about the "ghost" 13th amendment which would have essentially enshrined slavery into our Constitution. It also refers to the actual 13th amendment which prohibited slavery. Ultimately, slavery, pro or con, is a morals issue.

I fail to see how soliciting comments on moral interpretation is "hijacking" the thread.

I,beg to disagree slavery was (and still is) a matter of economics -- money, mullah, cash, dough, bread, and wampum, to use a little Indian lingo. What ultimately ended slavery was the Age of the Machine. Look around the world: the places where you find human slavery are among the least industrialized.
