Wasn't it you who said that you should not offer an opinion about things you never experienced? Yes. And I will keep saying that slavery is good only for the master and NEVER for the slave no matter how you try to justify the results years later. Have you ever been a slave?? what would have happened if there had been no colonies. If the only interactions had been peaceful trade, where would India and Africa be now? India used to be a land of milk and honey (info that has been handed down by generations) before the muslims and the british. She would have taken its own course no matter the direction it took. IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A FREE CHOICE. Would you be willing to have americans become slaves if some entity came and promised you some fantastic life of your choice for your children or great (or great great) grandchildren? The muslism and the british didnt even promise that. They came, they robbed, they plundered, they raped, they murdered. Finally the people THREW them out. And of course they made sure that they robbed the country some more before they left. SAVERY is not an option I will ever choose no matter what the rewards ! I am surprised that in this day and age you are trying to justify slavery. You are not, by any chance, from the south still harboring vindictiveness towards the northerners for defeating you in civil war and taking away your slaves??
