Your position is clear: Slavery wasn’t really that bad and people who thought it was should have kept their mouths shut.

And *you* are making accusations about straw men? The pot calls the Kettle "black."

I am making no such claim. Slavery is contrary to Christian based "natural law", and as such I abhor it. I went back and looked at the message to which you are responding, and I don't even see how you twisted it into that interpretation.

You asked why slaves wanted to escape from the south, and I pointed out (apart from the obvious reason that no one wants to be told what to do) that the incentives were better before the Social Justice Warriors got what they wanted.

AFTER the Social Justice Warriors got what they wanted, they had no further use for free slaves, and were content to let them languish. When escaping slaves were small, they could lavish attention on them. When the numbers were huge, they simply could not do that anymore.

I also pointed out that once more, the Liberal, change seeking Social Justice Warriors created a huge mess with which they were not prepared to deal.

I simply pointed out some aspects of why things changed before and after the war, and you, of course, have to respond with your pot-shot accusations of claiming someone is supporting slavery.
