“His understanding is crazy. The South would not even consider selling their slaves.It’s literally an asinine proposition.”

If the price was right? You’ve got to be kidding. That also happens to be the way that Britain ended slavery.

There was no price worth it for the South. They couldn’t replace the slave labor in any way, shape, or form.

Slavery was a deep part of Southern culture. Eventually it became economic necessity.

It’s absurd, as is Ron Paul.
