" back then it wasn't widely understood that slavery isn't economic."

the north got rid of slavery not out of kindness but economics, not worth feeding and housing and clothing them if the growing season is only 4 months long. and then like the liberal today if they didn't/couldn't have slaves no one could.

like guns, tobacco, sugar, transfats you name it
