You’re a revisionist idiot because you believe slaves were property willingly.

I hope that you feel that saying this over and over will somehow make up for your lack of education.

And BTW, I never said slaves were property willingly anymore than I willingly give half of my income to pay for things I do not believe in. We are all born into a world where we really have little control of our surroundings but try to make the best of things. I don't know about you but I would much rather have been Thomas Jefferson's slave than a coal miner in western Virginia. You may think slavery is the worst of all human conditions because the North had to come up with some feelgood justification for the destruction it caused here in the 1860s, but I assure you that there are much worse human conditions than those that African slaves lived under here in the United States.
