The Union won, sorry if you would have preferred it went the other way.

As an observer of that period in history, I have no preference. History is what it is if told close to accurately. It really isn't told all that accurately by those that feel a part of it.

No preference huh. Ok. It hasn't been told accurately at all. The history books in schools are full white washing and lies. The truth is, there is a lot of blood there that can't be washed away.

Let me guess you see slavery as neither a good or bad thing. It simply was.

The majority of those who died gave their lives to end slavery.

This is an example of the inaccuracy. Many died in the on both sides, in the war started by Lincoln, because the southern states seceded from the United States. Ending slavery became a goal of the War, after Lincoln's Emancipation declaration, well into the war.
When people of the North were damn sick of the very high number casualties being suffered. Lincoln was losing control so he made the emotional appeal to free the slaves.

Ha!
Inferring without using logic again Chris!
There is nothing good about slavery. Well I suppose it was good back in the day when taking slaves was seen as better than slaughter the losers. Sort of charitable.

No, it is much more practical today, to hire immigrants dirt cheap and send them home every night. If they get sick and can't work, you just hire another, or better yet, leave it to the field boss.
Those Southern Plantation owners, it seems to me, just had not thought the whole problem through completely.
Just my observations.

I inferred nothing. I just wondered what your take was. You say there is nothing good about slavery, then find good in it?

So, if slavery were practical you would be for it. Thank goodness for those immigrants who will work for near nothing. Oh, that too is a form of slavery.

It doesn't. Never said it did.

The blood spilt by those who fought against slavery black and white and all else are the same color. Those who fought for slavery, there blood is same color, though they would not accept it. Those who bled at the whips, who were beaten and raped and tortured, and murdered because of the color of their skin; their blood is the same color. A lot of blood has been spilt, and we would do good to remember it. That it is all the same color.

Do you question that taking conquered people as slaves is less heinous than slaughtering them?

I think in ways its more heinous. Both are heinous. A lesser evil isn't good, it's still evil.

I will not argue that point. I suspect the issue must be decided by each individual when the question is their reality at the moment. Live or go for broke.
More often I suppose it was women faced with the issue.

Only now? Wake up and smell the coffee. It's the in thing to hate Sly what with all his curbing of personal insults and all. Where's the fun in life?

With Trump there's no such thing as the wrong girl unless its a transvestite.

Thank you for letting the whole forum know you'd have been ok with the racists winning the war.

Of course I knew where you stood a long time ago.

In fairness, it was yesterday, and you're the one that said ongoing holocaust

You're always on some nonsensical bullshit man.

I'm so tired of white people who have little to no experience with racism to speak up like they know about it at all.

I'm done trying to explain our plight to whitesplainers who will NEVER know and never listen.

Eddie Glaude let's y'all know here at :13 but you probably won't care enough to watch or listen.
