” I wash my hands of them. “
And how many died in the civil war to set them free?
(I’ve had arguments with them denying that fact)
We as a nation are reaping the Karma of slavery. When we revolted from King George, our nation would have been better off to have abolished slavery without exception in our Declaration of Independence and Constitution. The consensus was to let it continue, why? to enable developing agriculture in the South that obviously did benefit our fledgling Nation short-term.
There is never any rightful reason for slavery and we as a Nation will continue paying the price until it is Paid In Full, no matter even if it results in our dissolution and destruction.
