Another Warning From Trump Comes True.....What Do You On The Left Have To Say Now????

Some European countries banned slavery as early as the 14th century. Hell in what is now China, Wang Mang of the Xin Dynasty banned slavery in the 1st century AD. So dont act like 18th century Americans weren't enlightened enough to know slavery was wrong.
China is a big nation and could not even successfully ban opium much less slavery

Nor would the moral standards of china care is people owned slaves or not

Because in most countries the rights or welfare of individual citizens were not important

Thats what made the founders of the Unitrd States so revolutionary

They cared about human rights

Just not all humans.
 
Thomas Jefferson owned over 2,000 slaves. It wasn't a plantation as much as a town.

He had blacksmiths, candle makers, potters, wheel wrights, glass blowers, you name it.

How did poor whites compete with that? They didn't. You can't compete with people who work for free.

Jefferson did free his slaves upon his death. Everyone should give him that.
Room and food are free?
You failed home economics.
 
But it was put together by slave owners. Hypocrite. You probably misunderstand the 3/5 part.
Pretty sure I dont. Non free people were counted as 3/5ths of a person in order to get a head count for how many people were to be in Congress.
 
Of course, they were. Just because the Africans were brought here in chains, beaten, and made to work without pay, does not mean they were treated badly. They got an education and food. What more do they need, right?
Death by inter-tribal warfare.
