Why is slavery the big deal it's made out to be here? Does the writer think that there was no slavery in the time of Christ? It was more prolific where Jesus was than in the colonies at the founding of the nation. That is one reason that Christ was so in favor of spiritual salvation over the physical and that he did not to my knowledge ever condemn the institution of slavery. In fact I believe he once (at least) exhorted all slaves to be the very best slaves they could be and he also did the same for Roman centurions to be good soldiers and not bullies taking advantage of their power. Better to save the soul for the soul is eternal whereas the physical hardships will eventually have an end....
And yet the DemonRATs conveniently overlook that a far more pernicious and widespread slavery exists now. There's the income tax, a vile form of servitude. And of course, labor unions and the minimum wage destroy liberty. Isn't it ironic that the Confederate States are leading the charge for liberty by keeping the slavemasters (union goons) at bay.
