Slavery works, despite what your Enlightenment hamster may tell you.

Some groups of people lack the intelligence and impulse control control necessary to live as free people. As a result they pose a threat to the freedom of those who are capable of freedom. Slavery is a necessary restraint on the otherwise unrestrainable.

Slavery is a check on the maladaptive and dysfunctional that at least manages to derive some good from that part of the population that would otherwise be a total drain on the society. What great civilization has not known some form of bondage?

When you free the slave, you begin to kill the society. That is what the Yankees wished to do to the South. The South refused to die. The negroes fled north and the high-minded abolitionist Yankees were ill equipped to deal with them since they had always believed in their negro-worship that the darkeys were capable of being free.

I agree with Hunter. Don’t blame slavery; blame emancipation.

Blame the Yankee penchant for social experimentation. That’s what Puritans who’ve lost their religion do. They’re even worse than niggers.
