I do not blame DeSantis for what the Black scholars did. Why would I?
Well then it was also true that G. W. Washington did it wrong when he shot at the Governments troops and waged war on them for like 8 years.
Well using your thinking, Slaves deserved to be slaves and needed the disclipine installed in them. And it is not color my man, it happens that they are blacks, but hell anybody but a white would do.

You'll note after importation of African slaves was banned, number of black slaves went UP after the Atlantic Slave Trade was abolished. Factors such as breeding (forced or otherwise), and smuggling of slaves still occurred (all the way up to the slave ship Clotilda in 1859). South Carolina was the only state continued the importations after 1808). And inter-state slave trade still occurred.
If the Confederate States had their way, and considering the cost-effectiveness and benefits of having legalized slavery, I could see slavery continuing well into the 20th Century. The main pushback would be if other nations refused to trade or imposed sanctions on the CSA, and pressures from the League of Nations or the subsequent the United Nations.
Then there's the messy revised timeline on how a split United States affects the outcome of the World Wars.
But going back to the Civil War, let's be clear that there was already much bloodshed before the War and before Lincoln was elected President, from the westward expansion of slave vs .free states (see Kansas), to the bloodshed against slavery abolitionists (see Elijah Parish Lovejoy).
Pro-slavery forces had no problem murdering for their unjust and evil cause and no Confederacy revisionist history will undo or justify their "lost cause."
I never argue in favor of slavery. But I do argue that the main body of the politic, should be free to quit states and start their own Government. As did the Southerners.

Fallacy of false equivalency: no logical connection between being slaves or being officers.
I, who grew up and in racist and misogynist settings, learned my errors in the service as I learned that peoples of color and women who served as officers were intrinsically no different than anyone else in terms of humanity and worthiness or lack of it.

I feel as bad as a commander that sunk a huge Japanese carrier since clearly my message did not hit the target in time.
I never spoke a harsh word about blacks nor military officers. I merely described what happened when I was drafted. And I was there but you were not. After being in the Army, it so happened that later as a Realtor I did sell to and for both current high ranking EM and Officers homes. All were fine people.
I am thinking of harvesting corn, shucking it and depositing the seeds into a huge container. This put thousands of workers out of work. The Combine is like magic.
2 people can harvest corn, remove the grain and insert it into a trailer. And one can be female.
I accept the apology. While I did not enlist, I found myself being appointed a leader over a platoon though then I was but a recruit. At that time, at Ft. Ord in CA, they had a massive shortage of Sgts so some of us were pressed into service. And the Sgts assumed the duty as platoon leader. I personally was blessed to constantly impress the Officers and EM so I had it easy. But the rest of the guys did not have it easy. I judge that the guys who enlisted assumed they deserved the crap they were put through.

I never thought the infantry was much different in nonsense than HS and college football. But... the drills were there to help us win. The military trained us over and over so that we never got it wrong. Thank heavens.
However, that did not protects us from the Juan Banes who could and did put us through BS nonsense.
It did not always work out that way for the powers that were. We had a big kid who could not keep us mouth shut. One of the drills took him out behind the latrines to teach him a lesson, and the kid did an Enforcer on him. Two other drills jumped in and got the same. They discharged the kid and sent him home.
It would have ended on it's own for financial reasons.
The cotton gin replaced more slaves than than anything else. Cheaper and faster.
Slaves provided free labor, but they were expensive to buy and required rest and food and a staff to provide security for the land owners.
Mechanized equipment would have ended it eventually.
I am not clear this truth got a fair enough attention by the left wingers.
People seem ignorant as to the actual cost of Slaves at the time. Being expensive, it would be difficult to imagine many slaves getting hit. It is counter productive in fact. The Cotton Gin and the Steam Engine revolutionized our nation. And to buy those machines, one had to have plenty of cash.
I owned a machine shop Slow Horses. I know a lot about machines. I made many machines. But the reason to go mechanized is to gain speed and do so with more accuracy than humans do.
"My father lost his job to mechanization. The company where he worked for 20 years bought a machine that could do everything my father did, only faster and better. The worst part was, my mother went out and bought one".
