    Default Would You Dismantle the Underground Railroad?

    Thought Experiment: You are able to go back in time, if you choose to, but only to one specific point to do one specific thing and immediately return. That specific action is to prevent the Underground Railroad from ever happening. Since the Underground Railroad served as a pressure valve, releasing the most bold, daring, and physically fit slaves at a steady pace, rather than letting them brood and eventually explode with violence and slave revolts against their masters...if you had the chance, would you undo it and let the slaves liberate themselves violently?

    Keep in mind, this could result in the slaughter of millions of Southerners, the annihilation of the slave population, or something in between.

    A 'Slave Revolt' might have been a better option than 'White People Giving Blacks Freedom' option.
    It's probably better to let a group 'win' their own fight than having someone else hand it to them.
    In WW2, the Allies let DeGaulle ride into Paris. Kuwaitis were allowed First Entry into Kuwait after the Americans liberated it from Saddam.

    So, ... here's the deal. Blacks revolt in the South under the Confederate Battle Flag. They fight all the famous battles. They enter Washington DC, thousands strong, and Demand Freedom. The US surrenders to the Demands. Statues of Leaders of the Revolt are erected. Laws are Passed. Sacred Cemeteries to the Fallen are created. Songs are Sung, Stories are Told.

    So... you would be okay with letting them stay enslaved longer if it meant them getting to be the ones who pulled the trigger on their liberation?

    Well, you broached the Topic of 'What if ... '

    Haitian Slaves revolted against their Owners. I'm sure it gave them self esteem. You know, Masters of their Destiny.


    "Haitian Revolution
    The Haitian Revolution was a successful insurrection by self-liberated slaves against French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue, now the sovereign state of Haiti. The revolt began on 22 August 1791, and ended in 1804 with the former colony's independence.Wikipedia"

    Well yeah, I brought it up, but I'm just making sure that you're saying you would be okay with keeping black slaves enslaved longer than they otherwise would have been for worthwhile extraneous outcomes.

    Well, let me counter you with: Which is better, being enslaved in Africa or being enslaved in America?

    "“Slavery in the United States ended in 1865,” says Greene, “but in West Africa it was not legally ended until 1875, and then it stretched on unofficially until almost World War I. "

    Just checking, because I routinely get hysterically vilified for suggesting that 650k Americans didn't need to die so Northern leftists could illegally invade, slaughter, and enslave half the republic...all to liberate the slaves (who were already being gradually freed) slightly more quickly. I think that's a pretty compelling reason to leave someone enslaved slightly longer, but leftists lose their minds when I say that. Just wanted to make sure I am understanding this correctly that I have a leftist now on the record saying they would leave them enslaved as well under the right circumstances.

    All slavery is an abomination, so it doesn't matter that they were much better off having been slaves here. Slavery is monstrous either way. I just don't accept that we have to be ridiculous unthinking children about how it should have been abolished, like Northern leftists were, and like leftists today still are.

    The left never has, does not now, nor will they ever actually care about people. They care only about power. That's what matters to these retarded cunts.
