Burg I do know where you stand and I was hoping you might have something to say on the subject. I can't defend slavery, and won't. It was a different, and fucked up way of looking at people that I don't understand. There was a lot we didn't know then.

But what was happening then is similar to the feds today telling Texas they won't help them enforce the southern border and requiring Texas to solely foot the bill for all the illegals slipping into the country. The US Federal government has grown unfettered ever since.
