Thanks for your candor. Let me ask you to expand on your thoughts:
1. If Lincoln had decided not to preserve the Union, and the Confederacy seceded without opposition to form a new nation, and slavery continued in that nation to the present day, how many times a day would be too many to beat your slaves?
2. Is there anything inherently wrong with slavery, even if a state makes it legal?
3. If blacks escape to the US from the confederacy, and the US doesn't return them, should Alabama be entitled to cross the border and seize US citizens as compensation?
4. Would you support a movement in the south to free the slaves? If so, should they be sent back to Africa, or given Southern citizenship? Should they be allowed to vote? Miscegenate? Live in your neighborhood?
5. If the Confederacy had conquered northern Mexico, and decided to make Mexicans into slaves, how much should they sell for compared to a black adult?
6. If the Confederacy had citizens who supported black freedom, how many years in jail should they receive as punishment? What if they refused to apologize?
I may have other questions, but I'll be pleased to hear your answers to these when you get a chance.
Sorry that my candor in stating historical facts upsets your delicate sensibilities, but the attempt to browbeat me into refuting something I never said is both ludicrous and puerile.
Please show me one post where I did so much as intimate that slavery is a morally acceptable institution.
I'll be more than happy to discuss historical facts and constitutional law, but if you're just going to EMOTE, please do it somewhere else.
Thank you.
