Technically, he was an 19th century A.G., but I digress... It's quite apparent that you long for the good ol' days of the 1800's, but idol worship of a hundred & 150 years ago is rather silly. Yes, I do second guess. Times were a **** of a lot worse back then. The moral bankruptcy we had as a nation during times leading up to the Civil War would make a modern day Christian zealot's head spin.
..."Slavery Free? $1500-$1800 a piece in 1850 was not a cheap price. Plus food, shelter, medical."...
That's your angle, the cost? Jesus Christ, and you have the nerve to call me an idiot? Are you seriously justifying the owning of another human being as a piece of property by mentioning the cost? Ok, look. Perhaps "free" wasn't the appropriate word, but when consider the fact that the slaves, themselves, never saw a dime of that money, it's pretty **** close to "free". At least, from the slaves' point of view. And just so you know, $1800 in 1850, would be between $40-55,000 today. Think about it... You could buy a person, work them like a dog for 16 hours/day, pay them no wages, whip and beat them senseless if they didn't perform up to expectations, have your way ******** with them, and kill them for virtually no consequence once they lived out their usefulness. All for the cost of the same...&

All for the cost of the same cost as mid-level secretary's salary for one year... $1800 was a "deal" for them. Oh, that's right, the slave owners were kind enough to cover medical (which consisted of pouring whiskey in a wound and wrapping it up with a cloth, or getting shot & dumped in the woods for anything much worse), food (spoiled leftovers and anything else their owners didn't find good enough for themselves), and shelter, (a decrepit shack crammed with 10 times more people than there should be). Boy those slaves sure had it great... If there's one thing I do my best to avoid, it's name calling... But you are honestly one of the most malevolent pieces of filth I have ever come across.
