I can not remember exactly where but when slavery is discussed by those outside of this country, there are those who believe that what made it so unjust was that there was no mechanism for emancipation...Romans and several other societies had processes for obtaining one's freedom... In other words, there was hope...

If you want to get rid of the liberal ca-ca, best way is to let people know that there is a method and opportunity to get their shot at the American Dream...

Britain compensated slaveowners when they abolished in the 1830s(?). I don't think that ever got much traction over here. Hotheaded Cavaliers versus taciturn and resolute Roundheads more or less....Southerners and Northerners even today often disagree and that crosses color lines too....unless allied against a third party.

...somethings are just gonna happen.
