As you view history through your partisan rose color glasses...
You couldn't bring yourself to condemn the Confederacy. Not a single conservative on this thread would do so, or will ever do so. Almost all conservatives are totally cool with Confederate slavers, with most praising them as heroes.
Conservatives adore slavers. The Republicans are the party of slavery. It is that simple.
I condemn the slavery of the Roman Empire. My gosh, they should have known better. And those folks buying and selling slaves all over the world in the past, not just conservatives?
Barbarians. Everyone did it, just like everyone does war today to force their views.
I wonder what our descendants will think of us. . . today. Using violence to solve political disagreements?
Hell, even some of our ancestors were more evolved.
