Don't be daft. It was a huge problem. Notice how we have so many of their "vibrant" descendants around us now!

Slavery was a hugely bad thing. The north became increasingly industrialised once they ditched slavery, which won them the war. In addition, you don't have to worry about steam mills raping women or stealing from you, and you don't have to hunt them down when they inevitably run away.

It was and is a bad thing. If only Lincoln actually transferred them all back into africa.

We wouldn't have "black lives matter" riots right now. We wouldn't have shootings in the cities. We wouldn't have high homicide rates. We wouldn't have worse PISA scores. We wouldn't run a budget deficit.

Slavery was a terrible mistake.
