I don't know what you are talking about?

Thomas Sowells comments on slavery are nuts, as is he.

And I know slavery was pervasive, Rome was 1/3rd slaves. But slavery in BCE is much different than slavery in 1860, or 1776 for that matter.

Sowell does not make time adjustments or other factors and why he is not considered a big thinker by academia.

And getting rid of slavery was a great feat of civilization, but one has to look at time frames.

1,000 years ago everyone had slaves, but it got to be less and less as people figured it out.

Jefferson, Washington et al, knew better and kept them anyway!
