    Yeah....thanks to your friendly neighborhood DEMOCRATS...the party of Slavery. Just document one historical instance of any republican promoting slavery or owning a slave. Indeed...pitiful and shameful. The party of Jim Crow, the KKK, Slavery, Anti Civil rights, anti women suffrage and the right to own property.

    Reality: In a republic such as is the United States of America...slavery existed because THE PEOPLE wanted it to legally exist, but that does not stop this universal truth upon which this nation was founded from being TRUE. All men are created equal. Truth never evolves....but societies do. When society evolved to the point of accepting slavery in form of flesh peddling as a property..as an evil, The Rule of law changed to reflect that evolution proving that the Constitution was drafted with societal evolution in mind.

    Don't fool yourself....slavery (not flesh peddling) but slavery is still alive and well with the Untied States leading the way....its called the PENAL SYSTEM, with the US being the holder (per capita) and having the honor of the STATE owning more humans than any other nation on earth. As we speak slavery exists in the US criminal justice system which holds almost 2.3 million people in slavery to the states (1,719 state prisons) (109 federal prisons) (1,1772 juvenile correction detention centers) (3, 163 local/county jails) and (80 Native American county jails) not to mention the military prisons, immigration detention centers, psych hospitals....etc.

    The point: There is such a thing as JUSTIFIABLE SLAVERY......society has evolved to call it a JUSTICE SYSTEM. Not one of these individuals are of their own free will properties of the STATE.

    But...as history actual points out......slavery (the practice of enslaving innocent human beings for the purpose of calling them private property) was a DEMOCRAT endeavor.

    Yeah. Slavery in the American colonies started in the 17th century. All the Democrats supported it and all the Republicans were against it.

    BS. Why do you people have to ransack history to prop up your inane interpretations of party politics? Do you think anybody is convinced by it? Most of the Democrats you refer to have been solid Republican for the past half century.

    'Compensation'. That may have been a better alternative.
    I believe Cameron's family did very well out of that lot. Class societies don't. of course, compensate mere slaves, only their exploiters! The ghastly thing about American slavery was that it was racial, and that the racism is still deep in the American mind. In the UK it was distant and belonged to the usual thieves; our kind of crap was all about how we were 'improving' those we robbed. Makes for naïve self-importance, like that of the Brexiteers.

    Quite -until there was electoral advantage in gaining the racist vote, at which point the Republicans ditched Lincoln's memory in double-quick time.

    How silly. There were anti slavers in the north and the south. There was slavery in the north too. Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina were slave states. The underground railroad was run from the south by southerners and freed slaves working together. You guys say the most ridiculous things.

    Yeah, those pesky elitist DEMOCRATS made us fight a war and kick their traitorous asses before they would free their slaves.

    The topic is slavery. Whether it's forced or voluntary doesn't change the end result.

    Silly since it would have gone away on its own or coujd have been negotiated as did ither countries.
    But Lincoln lusted for blood.
    Exactly. And why Lincoln was arguably our worst President ever. Booth was a hero for what he did. Yeah I said it.

    The only safe place for escaped slaves was Canada, under the wicked imperial heel!
