I wonder what kind of conservative you are..... I guess you don’t realize that slaves were brought in by yankees.... also slavery wasn’t morally wrong by the standards of the day.......I bet if somebody stole your property u would howl pretty loud.....
Slaves were mostly brought in before independence, by british flagged vessels. Even after the slave trade, slaves were brought in by Jean Lafitte the pirate and Jim Bowie. They would be landed at New Orleans, picked up by the federal customs agent, then auctioned with federal title as contraband. Jim Bowie’s thugs would nudge as necessary to discourage anyone else from bidding, so his very low bid would always win.
Just to be sure you are up on your Texas history makers.
On this thread you write:
“...also slavery wasn’t morally wrong by the standards of the day.”
However, on your FR Homepage you write:
“Slavery was and is evil.”
So which is it?
They cannot both be correct statements.
