Should Slavery Be Banned?

Do you think slavery should be banned?

Some people claim if we try that the southern states will try to secede. Is it worth the risk? Should we wait for the south to come around and then free the slaves?

What do you think? Are these claims unfounded or is there something to it?

Some people say we'd ruin the economy. Others say left on their own slaves will not be able to function, will become morally corrupt, and will become a danger to our society.

    Slavery is illegal and has been since the Civil War. What do you think they were fighting about? Read a history book, dude!

    No. There are areas of the sharia regulation coping with how a muslim could desire to cope together with his slaves, and the status of a slave is almost like a employed worker in Islam. however the ingredient is that it's not inspired. there is not any rule on the topic of the type to catch slaves, yet there are particular cases wherein a muslim could desire to unfastened a slave, like whilst he sins ( as a kaffareh ). it relatively is a few thing like this: A unfastened guy in no way will become a slave. A slave can become a unfastened guy. And via this i think of that slavery would be abolished after some lifelike volume of time.

    The only slaves today are the illegal aliens that victimize themselves conducting slave labor.

    I have no sympathy for those that break our laws on a daily basis.

    Dumbo below me: Freedom from slavery was a conservative foundation. Democrats supported the KKK. Republican radicals (those that disagreed with democrats on slavery) fought with the Yankees. A lot of people fought on the confederate side merely because they were from the South. Not because they owned slaves. The majority of the South was mostly kids who had no idea what they were fighting for. Pick up a REAL history book or attend a private school. Public indoctrination has forced me to remove my kids and have them homeschooled.

    John, political parties never flip flopped. That's so retarded. Apparently that's what the school districts say. Funny when I challenged them, they refuse to speak with me.

  • Since the government is already taking 50% of my total income in the form of various taxes, I'm already a slave to the state since 50% of my labor is not being compensated.

    And this applies whether you live in the North or the South.

    @The Equalist - OBAMA GOT OSAMA: I found it amusing the way you substituted Conservative for Democrat. It was the Southern Democrats who supported slavery.

    It is in the US.

    We fought a war and defeated Southern Conservatives over this issue.

    Return of Bite: I find it amusing that you're so simple-minded that you think party name equals ideology. Every US historian knows the Southern Democrats were socially to the right of the Northern Republicans during that time period.

    There's a reason why blacks were once Republicans and are now Democrats. If you're saying that ideology did not change, then you're saying blacks currently support the KKK, slavery, and Jim Crow. Which of course would not make sense.

    Illegal immigrants to the UK should be sentenced to become slaves when they are caught, this may reduce the numbers coming.

    It'll die out naturally; the South's just about exhausted their soil as it is. Just get back to planning your trans-continental railroad and worrying about Irish immigration.

    Why would we have slaves!?

    Slavery is illegal.

    It's not worth the risk either....and I don't know if anybody would even try to risk it.
