Ohioan to rockrr: "“slavers” “Peculiar institution” have unnecessary pejorative connotations, adding nothing to an historical discussion."

Both "slavers" and "Peculiar institution" are precise historical terms for the people and laws of the time.
There is no good reason -- none, zero, nada good reason -- to euphemize them today.

Brilliant response Joe. The more I listen to these Johnny Reb wannabes the more I’m convinced none, certainly the majority of them never had an ancestor that was anywhere near having held a musket and worn a Confederate cloth. And those that might have, I’m hoping, probably have the regret , the decency and the good sense to keep their mouths shut.
